I bought this on clearance about a year ago for $89 I think. I love it. It's so powerful for such a small package. It doesn't hold a whole lot, especially if you use the bags, but the power is great. I actually cut the end off the bags and dump it, then fold and staple it back together. I can get a few uses out of a bag this way (I hate knocking out pleated filters). Anyway, the 5hp motor is the same size as a lot of the full size models. While I'm at it, you can attach one of the Ridgid mufflers on it to quiet it down, but I don't think it's super lot to begin with. The exhaust blows through the cord storage compartment which helps some. The hose stays secured well and the tools store in the lid out of site. It's very strong, I've used it to sit on. I've seen reviews where people say they stand on them like a step stool, but I feel like I'll break one of the compartment covers if I move wrong. Great vacuum. It is just a little heavy though, 12# iirc.

Going to snag one. My shop vacs are getting quite old and don't perform nearly as well these days, and I have a large 10 gal rolling unit which is cumbersome and an old vacuum head that snaps onto a 5 gal bucket which is convenient, but pretty weak.

This was $30 last May, it's hard to bite on it at $80.

Wow reps to you for coming back with your proof. Looks like a different sku version but same base.

Home & Home Improvement Ridgid Home Depot

Product Description:	Be prepared for your next mess with the RIDGID 3 Gal. 5.0 Peak HP NXT Wet Dry Vacuum - store it, stack it, move it. The compact, lightweight toolbox design is the perfect companion for those looking for a small yet powerful vac they can take from project to project. Designed with storage in mind, this 3 gal. shop vac fits into small, out-of-the-way spaces with the bonus of stacking. With the integrated storage compartment, accessories are organized and secured onboard so you are ready to grab-and-go at any time. The crevice tool can be used for tight, intricate places. The dusting brush can gently clean surfaces with care. The 6 ft., 1-7/8 in. hose features 360 maneuverability and resists collapsing. The exhaust port allows for blower functionality and the on/off switch can easily be turned on with one hand. The innovative RIDGID SWEEP feature is a suction-powered dustpan built right into the vac - sweep the dust directly into the shop vac or use it to glide over spilled areas. Backed by the full lifetime warranty, RIDGID proves that even the messiest of jobs can be the easiest to handle. Pro Tip: RIDGID filters help to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life. Purchase a shop vac wet filter (VF3700; sold separately) to clean up wet messes or add a RIDGID dust collection bag (VF3501; sold separately) to the shop vacuum to keep the wet dry vac drum clean and for quick pickup and disposal. 18V Cordless 3 Gal. wet dry vac (HD0318) also available.
