The pics boast that it has the same power as a vacuum three times its size. Making something smaller with the same power usually isn’t cheaper. Answer from Sharkbaithoohaha004 on reddit.com

r/AutoDetailing on Reddit: Ridgid 4 gal wet dry shop vac 5.0 vs 6.0 hp
April 3, 2025 -

First time buying a shop vac and I’m having difficulty deciding between these two models (see title). The newer 6.0 hp model has the detachable blower, which I don’t need. I am wondering if anyone has experience with one or both of these models and can compare them for me.

I read that the 1 hp difference is not even practically felt since most house outlets don’t provide enough power for max output anyway. If that’s the case, I’d prefer the smaller 5.0 hp vac without the blower. Are they both about the same loudness or does one have better build quality / sound proofing than the other?

Thank you.
