Revainrating 4 out of 5

Replacement for an old Ridgid shop vacuum

Fits my 20 year old Ridgid shop vacuum. It's very tight but works and I have a spare for the next fragile wheel that breaks. I cannot rate it higher as it is not a durable product. It's cheap plastic, like the one it replaced, and should cost less than it does now. I would never buy this for my own project. It comes with a "mother" adapter as if you might want to install it in a new project. Not. Take something stronger. There are many reliable options for the same price. Hollow plastic wheels are a terrible option for anything in the Revain era. A few tips when looking for a vacuum cleaner shop. Get one with solid wheels. Bigger is Better 4. My fine is a lot better (and outrageously expensive), but Ridgid has greatly improved the vacuum's performance since I bought this thing, and hey, it's still working years later. I use it to vacuum the sand out of the hot tub. Who would have thought it could? Nothing to do with those wheels, but whatever.

Pros
  • Good value for money
Cons
  • weak
