This is one of the best. And that blower on top is handy. Just got to get filters at HD.
Don't forget the filter alone saves you $15-25
There are universal ones fitting both, but specs seem to indicate that Ridgid filters are 0.6 in taller than Craftsman ones.
My Craftsman 12 gal just died and I still have a bunch of filters that I'd like to be able to use...
Did anybody else get it with bags?
I know it is not much. I think the 2 pack of bags is like $17 but it is nice I don't have to pay for them. I was looking for a smaller profile one but the extra bags pushed me to buy it.

Always, right? At least the hose and attachments will fit a variety of brands and maybe the filter will fit the new Ridgid. Or, maybe you can return. Personally, I like at least two hoses connected for distance, like when vacuuming out vehicle, but when sucking up water, one hose from the weight of water is usually better.
Friends and family have the Ridgid, while we started with and have owned several of the 6.5 Craftsman that just keep going. Made by Emerson, they were absolutely the best at the time for real suction and still at the top today. I gave away two that were at least 30 years old and while we pretty much used daily in shop, were still running. One had a bad switch that bypassed, it does turn on when plugging in, but it still works.
The so called dual function that work as a vacuum or blower all seem to lose suction over the single function vacuum. I suspect it is because of the gasket and connections to allow the motor head to be removable, but I avoid that model.
