This and the ridgid flashlight are the only 2 ridgid items I'd stay away from. This vacuum is close to useless. The 18v shop vac has great suction but this thing is very weak. Even at $49. Maybe if you were in it for the battery and charger. I had this in my shop for about a year before throwing it on the trash. Couldn't bring myself to sell it.

This thing is absolute trash. I wouldn't buy it again for $10.

Add me to the "stay away" list - this is my only regretful Ridgid purchase.

Okay, mind sharing if it was this particular model that came out in 2022 or an older one? I watched this very detailed comparison testing of this model vs other similar vacuums from Makita, Shark, Dewalt, B&D, etc. on the market before pulling the trigger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltKcpGOFjiY

Based on that comparison, it appears to be mid to top-tier and for $50 with a battery and charger it is worth the investment to me for home use. So, to each their own.

I've used one of these for 3-4 years and I am very happy with it. Many people say it is "trash," not sure what they are expecting for a little handheld vacuum.

I've been waiting for a deal so I can get one to keep in the house. My wife always takes mine from the shop. Unfortunately item is not in inventory anywhere near us.

I'm not sure what others are experiencing, I have used it for 2 years with 4amp battery and clean filters regularly. They are fine for $50
