About This Product

The RIDGID 12 Gal. 5.0 Peak Horsepower NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum was built for pros ready to take their projects to the next level. This vac comes with a 7 ft. hose, general debris filter, wet nozzle, utility nozzle, car nozzle, and 2 extension wands. With more power, enhanced durability and an advanced design specifically engineered for the pro user, this high-performance vacuum is part of the most powerful line of wet dry vacs RIDGID has ever made. Its redesigned scroll technology gives the shop vac an increase in power, suction, and lift. The 12 Gal. NXT vac includes 2-1/2 in. locking accessories that locks onto a wand or hose for uninterrupted cleaning and the 2-1/2 in. diameter size resists clogs. Hose storage keeps the hose neatly onboard and accessory storage space at the top of each caster gives quick access to attachments. 2 locking extension wands extend reach while the utility nozzle cleans larger areas. Use the wet nozzle for liquid spills while the car nozzle is perfecting for detailed cleaning. The blower port adds versatility and allows you to use hose to blow leaves, grass clippings and more. This vac features our patented Qwik Lock Filter that makes installing or removing your filter quick, easy, and secure. Pro Tip: Add a RIDGID shop vac filter (VF4000, VF5000, VF6000, VF7000, VF8000 sold separately) to a RIDGID shop vac to maintain the power of the vac and extend vacuum life and a dust collection bag (sold separately) to help with quick cleanup and disposal.
