RIDGID 50313 Model 4000RV 4-Gallon Portable Wet and Dry Compact Vacuum Cleaner with 5.0 Peak-HP Motor, 4 gallon, Red

Amazing suction power, gets down and dirty and easy to clean! It has nice attachments but could definitely use better ones. It’s a nice small machine but has strong power! I’d say worth it for the money if it had some more attachments

Compact low center of gravity vacuum with very strong suction. Tired of being aggravated with the poor performance of my other vacuum and it constantly falling over as I vacuum the car out. There are no wheels on this thing, but it slides across dirt and gravel without tipping. Stronger suction than the name brand ten gallon vacuum.

I have owned many different Ship Vacs, from Craftsman to the off named brands. This small compact shop vac outdoes even the large sized well known name brands. I actually just returned one that after a lot of fact checking the unit I thought it would be perfect. It just didn't have suction power of this unit.I use this in my house, car for everything from vacuuming carpets, shampooing, or blowing off the deck. Get your job done in half the time, my money was well spent here and I had no regrets either

good

I knew what I wanted to clean with a small vacuum— walls, cabinets, tall furniture tops, upholstered furniture, and other hard to reach spots. Wanted to be able carry it around the house easily and up or down the stairs safely. Also wanted strong suction strength, 1 7/8 hose that is more flexible and also doesn’t retract (didn’t want to fight that pressure). Spent several hours studying options. This shop vac won out over an expensive German made canister vac that could have also vacuumed my floors. But I have two excellent floor vacuums. The only thing I miss is a soft brush that came as an attachment on the expensive canister. Considering buying if I can find an adapter. Very satisfied.

I honestly saw a Dallas youtuber/ business owner/ detailer review this years ago and I should've bought it when he recommended it. Sad that the price is what it is now versus $80 when it was reviewed but I do not regret it whatsoever. It has so much more suction power than my buddies detailing vacuum and my personal Wal Mart vacuum that finally died on me. Don't look back and make the purchase!

Rough Tote is the PERFECT carrier for EVERYTHING and makes the unit stackable when stored. Simply wrapping the hose around the handle like the cord is a tenuous perch (for the hose)SummaryThe Ridgid has VERY high design and manufacturing quality, and durability, with sweetspot power and maneuverabilityStrongly recommended for varied applications

Works great on the patio. Strong suction. Doesn’t need a bag! Easy to put away. It’s light and not heavy to carry to location. Works inside and out with the attachments.
