RIDGID 3 gal. 18V Cordless Handheld Wet Dry Vac with 1-7/8 Extension Wand Accessory for Select RIDGID Wet/Dry Vacs WD0319-VT1708

Best value for money and suction power, im using it as a shop vac with my dewalt table saw and is wonderful i initially used a small container with the cyclone that didn't give me much run time before the dust collection became in effective after switching to a bigger container the cyclone works much longer and overall its a great portable unit to go along with my table saw.

If you're not careful it will suck you up! It's a very powerful vac and really great for a ton of metal shavings and saw dust around my shop, and didnt lose suction. Passed the bowling ball test with flying colors this thing sucks! And for a vacuum of any sort this is a good thing 5 stars. The best part is it's not clunky like the wheeler vacs so you can stick this on your shelf. this things really great for vacuuming out your truck. It's portable enough to go in my JEEP. We are a messy family so no more quarters at the car wash or inserting our cards there into potentially a skimmer for vac time. (Thats happened twice to me) Rigid did it again! This paid for itself in less than 2 weeks in sucking power and saving me fraud claims from my bank over trying out the shady wash places / vac ports they have locally. Buy the attachments for the car this doesn't come with em. It's a 1 7/8 standard hose. The best part was I dropped some heavy aluminum stock on the thing when working and it didn't flinch. Not a dent. Rigid lives up to it's name.

This Vac has excellent suction and works great not only inside my Ranger truck, my 3/4 ton Ford truck, my tack room in my horse trailer, my camper, plus it cleans rugs extremely well that have dog hair embedded in them ! The charge holds for hours and I'm totally pleased with this cordless Vac because I can even use it when the power is out !!

If you've watched Project Farm's shootout, this vacuum destroyed the competition and is the only battery powered unit that might make you forget you aren't plugged into AC power.It is consequently about as loud as an AC power vacuum and might require hearing protection in confined spaces. It spends its battery quickly, in about 10-15 minutes for the 4aH battery, but it will annihilate the job you're doing so you don't have to keep going over the same area repeatedly. The battery also recharges very quickly. There are batteries with over twice the capacity if you want to get a half hour out of it.The plastic cover for the battery compartment could be thicker, so it would flex less and latch more consistently. The hose tends to get in the way of this. The side latches seal well but often get hooked and hung up when taking the tank off or putting it on. There is a free-spinning ring on the hose over a gap that allows suction to escape the tube that I will probably duct tape to keep it from rotating out of position. Haven't used it to suck up liquid yet, but a drain plug on the tank would be nice as tipping to pour can be a splashy affair with utility vacs.These annoyances aren't very important, it can pick stuff up without the bulk and inconvenience of a wall-plugged vacuum and the tank is a decent size.

I don't have room for a 5 gallon wet dry vac, this one can set on a shelf and used when needed. it works just like the large ones. it also does a great job.

Sister bought one first, and I had to have one. No more extension cords or wimpy vacs for automobiles. Plenty of power, easy to change batteries. It does use battery power faster than drills, and appreciates the higher capacity batteries. I have so many Rigid tools that this is not an issue.Still highly recommend.

Has great suction and a very useful nozzle for use on car carpet. However, the sound level is incredibly loud and makes ear protection obligatory. I'm reluctant to use it as I don't like to disturb the whole neighborhood. Battery life is relatively poor, expect max. 5 minutes on a 4.0 Ah battery. Therefore only 3 stars.

I never thought I would use this portable Vacuum as much as I do, but since it is battery powered off of a normal Ridgid Battery Pack...I use it often. Great suction on a fully charged battery and lasts a pretty well on extended use. I use it all around the house as well as on small projects. Highly recommend!
