Is 4 gallons a little small?
No.

Not everybody wants a humongous shop vacuum (mainly because it's a PITA to store).

Other than the size, how does this compare to the 12 gallon Ridgid that was on sale for the same price a couple weeks back?

If you can wait, Rigid has this on sale with the 1-1/4 in. Premium Car Cleaning Accessory Kit for RIDGID Wet/Dry Shop Vacuums for about $100. The orange hose is far superior than the standard black hose. I don't even bother with the standard attachments
Fwiw thats the wd4070. This is the wd4080 which is 1hp stronger and pulls 10 more cfm

Also, you can get cheap aftermarket bags off amazon for this boy, since ridgid is so popular

Yeah, this vac is slightly more powerful (10 amp motor with a higher CFM) than the one that is sold for $100 (9 amp) occasionally with the car hose kit. This one also has a detachable blower, if that is important. Too bad they don't sell this one with the car hose kit for $100 or it would be a no brainer. But if you buy the car hose kit at Harbor Freight for $25 as mentioned above, then you're paying $105 total for the version with the stronger motor ... not bad!

Nice vac. I bought 4 of these for our crew and they all swear by it
What does your crew use them for? Construction? Do you and they prefer the wider 1-7/8" hose that this comes with or the smaller one that comes with the car hose kit?

This is better despite no real attachments... I suggest the harbor freight shop vac Accessory Bauer kit. It's the exact same (just in red) but it's $30 cheaper at $25
Thanks for the tip on the cheaper Bauer kit! Looks like it might be made in the same factory as the Ridgid hose kit. Is the car hose kit good to keep on the vac for most things even besides doing cars, or does the stock larger diameter hose work better for construction-type clean up around the house?

If you're doing construction, the 1-7/8 might work. You definitely don't want the 1-1/4 for large debris pickup. We had a Walmart shop vac with 1-1/4 for picking up hay for our rabbit and it constantly got clogged. 1-7/8 is better, 2-1/2 would be even greater, but then you get into the larger 10+ gallon vacs. 1-7/8 is a happy medium, especially this 4 gallon 6hp (16 gallon ones usually only go up to 6.5)

Thinking aloud based on my residential wet/dry vac experience. I never really understood the wet/dry vac love until I used one with a 2-1/2" hose..

I was gifted a free 10 gallon, 4 HP, 1-1/2" hose shop vac that is solid. Beggars can't be choosers. It's great for cleaning the car, but when I did some renovations and some more involved crawl space cleaning, I hated this thing until I borrowed a 16 gallon, 6 HP, 2-1/2" shop vac.

My thoughts:
  • For around the house use, I would personally not go larger than 10 gallon.
  • 4HP provided a good amount of suction. I could not discernably notice a difference between this 4HP and 6HP (also Shop-Vac branded) model except they were using different hose diameters (this matters obviously, but I can't provide any specific data).
  • Oh my, the 2-1/2" diameter hose was a game changer and I never see anyone talk about this. Infinitely fewer clogs.
This model, at 1-7/8" diameter seems to find a sweet spot in size. If I was in the market, I would probably give this one a shot.

I think the poster might be referring to this one. https://slickdeals.net/f/16843928-ridgid-4gal-5hp-shop-vac-with-accessory-kit-104-95 However, that is the 5hp version. If you get the Harbor Freight kit at $25 it looks the exact same (except red) to the Ridgid kit. That Harbor Freight kit with this deal looks like it would get you essentially the same setup except with 1 extra hp. I don't have a lot of storage space nor do I vacuum a ton but having something strong to vacuum the car and also to use in the house for stain removal seems like this is an ideal device. I really don't want the extra size, storage, and cost to get to 6.5hp.

Great points! Yeah, my big 16 gallon Ridgid vac is a beast and I'll probably sell it once I get the one in this deal that I ordered.

I have this and it is an absolute bargain for the functionality and quality. Top part is detachable and serves as a blower too. Pretty powerful, and noisy.
However, I can't see this price. It's been around $100 forever.
