January 13, 2024Bought a Ridgid Shop Vac, completely disappointed, what alternatives are there that suck everything up?
If you want actual legit HEPA and not just a HEPA filter slapped on a non-airtight vacuum, you'll have to step up your game and get something like festool cleantex . All 'shop vac' style vacuums basically use suction to seal the can to the top, once you turn them off, the seal is broke and dust can leak out. It's pointless to put a HEPA filter on such a vac, because that isn't going to give you a true sealed HEPA system. I suspect once you investigate the costs, you'll realize that legit HEPA filtration is beyond what you actually need. More on reddit.com

July 27, 2015Rigid Shop Vac Steel vs plastic
I would go with the steel one. It seems better all around. It's bigger only in height so footprint isn't any different really. It's got more HP and it's a whole dollar cheaper lol! Honestly the deal breaker here for me is the reviews. 40 reviews with 5 stars vs 2 reviews with 4.5 stars. Small difference I know but it's the count that I feel is important here. More on reddit.com

r/Ridgid on Reddit: Help deciding b/w 3 Gallon NXT and 4.5 Gallon ProPack Portable Dry Vac
January 13, 2024 -
I have the following two units sitting at home, both cost me $100:
https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/hd0300
https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/4-gallon-pro-pack-wet-dry-vac
The differences on paper seem to be pretty clear:
One is 4.5 gal the other one is 3 gal capacity
The 4.5 Gal is from their Professional Industrial Wet/Dry Vacs line while the 3 gal is from their General Purpose Wet/Dry Vacs line
The 4.5 gal unit seems to be an older model and a bit less refined compared to the 3 gal
The 4.5 includes 2 extension wands that I don't think I will use too often as this is strictly for cleaning my car
Can someone please help me with the following:
What does their pro-line represent? Is it actually better than their general purpose line, is the motor different or more robust? Or is it just marketing BS?
Despite being 4.5 gal being 50% larger than the 3 gal, in terms of capacity, observation suggests that the net capacity of the tub area that stores that dust bag seems to be about the same between the two. The reason for that is that the 4.5 gal unit has the storage area for the hose and the cable protrudes into the tub which takes up slightly less than half of the 4.5 gal tub. Is my observation reasonable or the 4.5 gal unit is indeed 50% larger in terms of net storage?
It almost seems that the 3 gal unit is a newer model that is better optimized for storage. The buttons and all the latches also seem to be more robust on the 3 gal unit, despite being the general purpose line. Has anyone actually used both units? What was your experience?

The NXT is Ridgid's "most powerful line of wet/dry vacs" according to their website so I would get that over the Pro Pack vac going by their claims. The NXT vac also comes with a Pro Gear attachment in case you have or want to expand into their tool storage line. And if you're mainly using your vac to clean cars, I don't see much added benefit in picking one with a larger capacity.

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: Bought a Ridgid Shop Vac, completely disappointed, what alternatives are there that suck everything up?
July 27, 2015 -
Bought a ridgid after a few people here recommended. Returned it out of disappointment.
All the hose components and attachments were rubbish. Things weren't getting sucked up. All together I was surprised how crappy it was considering there were a few recommendations here and in r/buyitforlife.
I primarily need two things:
Vacuum that sucks really good
Hepa filtration that is legitimate (ridgid let all sorts of particles loose, and didn't seal well).
This leads me to the lead/RRP approved shop vacs. Dustless seems to come out ahead in "low price" compared to alot of the other industrial quality vacs, but I am worried its got the same problems that ridgid will have.
Anyone able to recommend something?

I have a Ridgid shopvac with the HEPA filter. It provides adequate suction for the jobs I do and I haven't noticed any particular problems with the attachments or the cleanness of the exhaust air. You don't mention the model you purchased, how exactly the suction was insufficient, how you were measuring the quality of the output air or what standard you need, or what your intended use cases are, so I'm not sure how to otherwise advise you.
