Rated 4 out of 5 by fred1 from very good suction this seems like a good unit but didn't come with the most useful tool, the crevice tool. had to purchase separately. wouldn't have purchased had i known that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bulldogdave from Name brand product with good reviews The only problem I experienced was the suction when When using the extension tubes. It is very difficult to To pick up small pieces of debris unless you place the tube Tube flat over the debris. You cannot angle the Tube when vacuuming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rory from Great handle with cord wrap I like the cord wrap so that it doesn't get tangled. I also like the locking hose feature that keeps the hose in the vacuum when you tug it around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MikeK from Does the job Have used Ridgid vacs for a long time. This one is a replacement for the vac that my son “borrowed”.

Rated 3 out of 5 by ABMdiyer from Does the job Sucked up water quickly. Should include a crevice tool because wider heads can’t get into corners. Easy to assemble. Lightweight and very maneuverable.
