Description: This RIDGID?14 gallon High Performance Wet/Dry Vac is designed to deliver the powerful suction, large capacity, and rugged construction in a more compact design than is offered in our largest cart type vacs. The vacuum?s 14 gallon drum size helps us achieve a more compact overall design but it still provides a big capacity capable of handling large job-site chores. The 6.0 peak HP motor delivers the high performance necessary to handle these chores. Other key features include; a 3-layer fine dust filter captures dry wall dust, accessories are stored on-board, casters provide 360? mobility. Add a top handle with a cord wrap, heavy duty 2-piece drum construction, a large drain and you?ve got a wet/dry vac that achieves the demands of Pro?s on the job site or in the shop.
Minimize
Pros: Lifetime Warranty, Solid Construction, filters stocked locally, very quiet Cons: Needs a duster nozzle included and improve the design of the storage. BottomLine: If you are looking for a vac of this capacity (14 gallons) and this power (6 Hp), don't look any further. Did I mention there is a lifetime warranty too?
Pros: Powerful vacuum force, quiet operation, good filter, well designed. Cons: Trying to buy parts and/or accessories from Ridgid is a nightmare. BottomLine: Despite good design/excellent performance, can't recommend product, due to poor customer service. That's the sole reason for the "average" rating. If it didn't perform so well, rating would be worse.
