Review on RIDGID 50318 4500RV ProPack Wet Dry Vacuum, 4.5-Gallon Portable Wet Dry Vac with Toolbox Design, 5.0 Peak HP Motor, Expandable Pro Hose, Blower Port by Andrew Choukline

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre vacuum - other RIGID models are better

I love the idea of a "tool box" style vacuum but ended up returning it after trying it myself. First, the extendable hose is inconvenient and very short, requiring the vacuum to be close to you at all times. Which leads to the next point - it has no wheels and must be towed or carried. I ended up with a hard WD4070 - it's cheaper, comes with a longer hose and has wheels. It's about the same size, although it won't compactly fit in a neat box like this.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
