Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exciting new Motor-On-Bottom vacuum! I love my new 1250RV! Ease of use with motor mounted on bottom of the vacuum is a game changer. I do not see myself going back to a top mounted unit. Suction power is nothing short of amazing! Apparent the durability of this particular model is constructed for the long haul. A nice range of accessories are available for the vacuum, too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Only used once I just got it and have only used it once. It was easy to put together, works well as a blower, seems to pick up material easily and is quieter than my last Ridgid shop vac. Too soon to tell on durability or even performance but first impressions are good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Warranty and power I like the power of this shop vac, along with warranty. I have another tool (drill) that I like as well. I had three Shop vacs that did not last and their three year warranty was not acceptable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Durable yet easy to handle Purchased for the size and capability. Have only used it a few times, but am very pleased with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice powerful vac A lot of power in the 6.5 hp bottom motor is a big plus easy to clean and good maneuverability. Only minor downsides are the hose doesn't really have place to go and plug is kinda awkward. Price is higher than the regular (motor on top vac) but very happy with the purchase nonetheless.

Can't find the 1250RV anywhere for purchase

I read the details on this 12 gallon shop-vac and want to purchase it for my daughter and son in law in Bainbridge WA. I tried all of the sites on the list of distributors on your site. No one has it in their catalog. What do you suggest. Thanks, John
