Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great product. I love this Shop Vac....and sucked out 35 gallons of water from a flooded room. My only recommendation is that they should include a wet filter with the product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works Pretty Good Got this Vac to replace a 16 gallon one (differfent Brand). I like the size. Has good suction. Attachments rotate and the hose has little levers on the end to keep the attachment from coming off. Old attachments from other vac brands fit too. I don'tknow about the durability as I've only had the vac for a few weeks. My old one lasted 30 years and would stlll be going it I hadn't sucked up a burning ember from the floor by my shop stove. So far, it fits my needs and I like the smaller size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from wet/dry nice machine, the tools and hose don't connect to one another very smoothly, my wife cant connect /disconnect them, to tight, other than that its got great suction, would be nice if you got the other tools with it other than having to purchase as a Option

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So much power I love my wet vac. It can pick up literally anything and with such great power. I've even used it for extracting water and it worked like a champ!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Power to spare! I'm doing a family room make over project in my basement. I bought the Rigid Wet Dry Vac to help with some standing water in the bulkhead area. Then I used it to pick up old wallpaper all over the floor that was there a while. Some was even stuck to the floor. The Wet Dry Vac performed unbelievably!! picked up every bit of wallpaper (even the stuck to the floor wallpaper) I was dreading scraping and crawling around to pick it all up. Never had to, the vac sucked it all up without effort! very satisfied!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great advances over the years My last vac lasted almost 25 years of hard labor. That's why I chose Ridgid again!
