Ridgid 18-volt 3 Gal. Cordless Wet/dry Vacuum (Bare Tool)

Use on job sites a lot. Great buy! Works great, more than expected. And the fact that it is cordless saves so much time and effort.

This vacuum is great. Have been using it for a few months now. It is comparable in suction but no where near one that plugs in. Great for cleaning the car, and small messes.

Like: It is not too heavy. The suction level is okay. The noise level does not require hearing protection.Not to like: Cost. When battery cost is added, this is an expensive machine. It runs for about 5 minutes on full charge; I consider this to be really bad. No wands. You have to get on your hands and knees to vacuum from the floor. The hose extends about 24" when it is running. There are very few things I have found to use it for. The hose and two attachments are not compatible with most shop vacs or home vacs. There must be something better.When I wanted to remove the filter and use the vac for water, I discovered that the design causes the debris from the tank to be dumped all over the place. There is no way that I can see to avoid this because the filter literally pulls the debris out and spreads it.When I tried to suck up some water, the tank filled in about 4 seconds, but then shot water out the air outlet spraying me. The tank holds only half of its capacity before shutting off. This may be the worst purchase I have made in the past 5 years. I can't imagine even bothering to store it.

Does a great job but battery doesn't want to stay attached. . .but still a great portable vac

The thing is awesome. Does suck up a lot of battery juice though.
