The previous thread was a month old and had weird links. https://slickdeals.net/f/15394060-maybe-ymmv-ridgid-16-gal-5-0-peak-hp-nxt-wet-dry-shop-vacuum-with-2-filters-2-pack-dust-bags-hose-diffuser-and-3-accessories-hd1640a-49-99?v=1&src=SiteSearch Even though it's the same model, internet and SKU numbers, for some reason that Old HD link doesn't show as being available in store.

OP, you might want to put "Ridgid ' in the title. It'll probably get you more hits by triggering more Deal Alerts.
I don't see another post. There was a precious one that was in store only very ymmv.

Edit: previous not precious. Not looking for a ring...
This is the best shop vac I've ever owned and this is an amazing price. If you don't have one already you should jump on this deal.

I bought this last week in-store at this price. It's my first shop vac, but I did plenty of homework on different brands, and the Ridgid gets high marks.

A couple of remarks…

It's relatively light for its size, so taking it up and down stairs isn't much of a problem. There is a handle on top. But there's no denying it is big. If you don't have room in your garage or ample space in a closet, you'll be better off getting a smaller 2 or 2.5 gallon shop vac.

Filters will end up being the most expensive part about this in the long run. A person pointed this out in a previous thread— nylon knee high stockings are a fantastic life hack. They're $1 at the Dollar Store and come in a two-pack. So that's four nylon socks. You just pull one sock over your filter, and clean out the stocking or replace it occasionally, and the filter itself will last a long time.

The $25 car accessory kit (reg. $50) is a must-buy. Way better hose, and the tools will get almost anything out from those crevasses you're trying to clean.

Hope that helps. Can't believe I went this long without a shop vac.

Love this shop vac. Think I paid $80. Has been solid and taken a lot of abuse, but just keeps performing.

How is this compare to the 4 gallon portable Ridgid vac (also $50 currently) other than the higher capacity?

This vacuum is awesome, I bought the last deal that had the car accessory kit and am very impressed with how well it works. Definitely worth the price.

I was debating between 16gal vs 4gal. Ended up buying both. The large one will pretty much have a full time home in the garage. Smaller one for in a pinch needs around the house/basement.

I just bought the dewalt shop vac from Costco which one is a better deal? This rigid one? I would have to buy the car deal too which is $25 as well for the rigid I paid $90 for the Costco dewalt one. $75 for rigid deal all together is not bad.

not first hand experience, but based on the customer review photos its basically a 2 foot wide garbage can taller than the armrest on your sofa. not bad if you have a garage to store it in, but not something you want to look at inside the house.

That's so strange. Where did that last post go? I did see this posted about 2-3 weeks ago with pictures at the store with the price in another post. I went in and bought it and the car attachment in a separate post.

Looks like I searched "Rigid" and left out the first d. I bought this but can't attest to how good it is because it's still in the box. Don't want to open it until I move in next month.

I did have to get my Home Depot to get it off the pallet because there weren't any on the floor.
