Ridgid Wet/Dry Vacs

Ridgid has actually totally overhauled the Ridgid wet/dry vacuum line so there is a total of 12 new wet/dry vacuums in all (these are in addition to the Ridgid “Orange” vacs at home centers). The new Pro series offers several compact options in 4-6 gallon range as well as some nice specialty options for HEPA, stainless steel tank and a couple 2 stage options. One of the really interesting options that caught our eye was the 16 gallon Motor-On-Bottom 1650RV ($189) which has a couple of very nice features that make it a smart option for professionals.

By putting the Motor-On-Bottom “MOB” there are some obvious advantages such as the center of gravity is lower and more importantly emptying the full load is much lighter/easier. With heavy duty wheels, solid construction, powerful suction and somewhat muffled sound this unit performs much more like the $500+ vacuums we have tested. While is does lack the pulse technology and it doesn’t offer plug-in control on/off with your other power tools it does have a very handy foot peddle switch to leave both hands free. It also features the only quick-access debris door we’ve seen on a vac which could be very handle.

When it comes to professional wet/dry vacuums there are certainly a lot of options as there needs to be with so many different applications. The Ridgid professional series offers 12 very nice options for an everyday user who needs a good quality unit.

    Almost all of whatever you claim is supprisingly legitimate and it makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this in this light previously. This article really did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. But at this time there is one issue I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I try to reconcile that with the actual central theme of your position, allow me observe exactly what all the rest of the readers have to say.Nicely done.
