BEST WET DRY SHOP VACUUM | New 3 Gallon 5hp RIGID Vacuum | Car Detail

[@TonyVainosky]

I realize it isn't the most awesome feature, but that 'sweep' feature is actually a great idea, especially in a shop type environment. Little improvements in a product like that make this an incredible value

[@winner1604]

Currently 79.00 for this vac at Home Depot RI this morning. I appreciate your videos, Kevin

[@ImGriffinP]

Just picked one up after watching this. The squared off design and floor sweep features made it worth it for me. Feels really well made too. Thanks for the review!

[@Danielxperez14]

Same here 😂 this man makes me buy everything he showcases haha

[@render8]

I have the older orange version you referred to, have had it for...10+ years, had to replace the hose, fix the handle (just normal wear and tear, I'm in construction)... But other than that fantastic vac. And yes the tool box style lends itself to easy storage, stand on, sit on practicality, highly recommend. Great vid👍

[@MrChuckwagon55]

I stood on it, and it exploded and a shard of plastic went into my daughters eyeball, but she’s been mouthing off a lot lately anyway, so no biggie. Great vacuum. Awesome video.

[@5822huron]

[@MajusAnthony]

I went to Home Depot couple of days ago.I saw that vacuum I then realized that the vacuum was new and looking for a review on KZbin lol. Honestly so far the best vacuum for mobile detailing great for space super compact (I did unclip the plastic to hold the hose to make more compact since I use the detailing hose)

[@kzspeed1288]

If you're working in any truck. The extended hose is a must. My Trail Boss only has a 2inch lift and I'm struggling. Just not long enough. Vacum is great though.

[@jemorebb]

I bought the nxt like 2 weeks ago just upgraded my other ridgid battery powered vacuum. love this unit so much

[@jerzsubbie]

Thanks for doing this comparison and test! I was wondering how the two compared. I'm going to get the smaller one since I just dumped my 16gal Ridgid to try to save space.

[@Timc220]

Great video. Just picked one up with the pack attachment for $80! Excellent deal. Just to note, the detailing kit hose is a smaller diameter 1 1/4" vs the 1 7/8" included hose, but they do include adapters with the detaining kit so you can use both hoses together if you choose. Happy sucking!

[@samuelrodriguezrivera6856]

Great review! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@boyshanks]

Excellent review!!! I’m looking for a vacuum to keep in the garage for us to be able to quickly vacuum out our cars. 👍👍👍 Dragging out the house vacuum is a big no. Thanks again! 🎉

[@philipheilman5413]

I have a different model and very happy with performance. I would caution against telling people they can use the vacuum as a step stool.I`m 6`1 and 210, and I wouldn't stand on that plastic box, especially with wet shoes.

[@imjoshv]

Yea, like i said im sure Rigid wouldnt recommend it ha but i do it all the time with the other unit. I use it as a step mostly for polishing roofs, so the water is all gone and dry by then.

[@anthony.catbagan]

Thank you for this. Bought one and delivered just as you described.

[@smokie6284]

Thanks just bought it after seeing your video

[@inkgenie9760]

Fantastic Review!

[@imjoshv]

Thanks for watching

[@bradb2514]

Great video! Subscribed! Question, on the new vac, does the longer “car detailing” hose clip neatly to the unit or does it’s extra length mean you have extra hose lying on the floor? Just trying to understand what stowing the vac would look like. Thanks!

[@JCourts2k23]

I got one today, havent got a chance to try it yet. I did put a bag in it.

[@jesusgarcia2374]

Can I turn it into an extractor ?

[@johnnewell5025]

Very well done and very comprehensive. Brought one home today and decided to check it out to see if it was as good as it look. Totally persuaded by your excellent video. Question: I have the longer detailing hose from a prior vac. Any great ideas for on- or around-unit storage for that hose?

[@3jmontg]

Get the ridgid pro gear attachment plate, and put the hose in a ridgid pro gear box. I fit the ridgid orange hose in the small ridgid box. You may need to get the medium box. Also, the crate will not work with the vacuum pro gear plate

[@iwayned]

A really well done demonstration and explanation. Like that it is also something that I can get without having to order online. (I hope) 5 stars.

[@imjoshv]

Hey Wayne! Yea it seems to be a new staple in the line up so it should be at your local store the next time you go...

[@DanielGomez-cf6vk]

Ridgid vacuna are awesome

[@jdvs86]

is this vacuum good enough to use the rip clean extractor attachmnent?

[@imjoshv]

Sure is!

[@bread-gz3rl]

I'd just get a numatic henry, might be 400 bucks but they last 30 years if taken care of.

Vacmaster makes some good units as well!!

[@Al-ix5um]

This machine draws 7.8 amps at 120 volts. At 100% efficiency, that is 1.25 HP. Claims of 5HP are a mathematical impossibility.

[@Pearl3Drummer]

Can you put bags inside?

[@Mowgli_89]

Great video man. Can the extended pro hose be stored in or on either machine? Thanks.

[@bashfullJ88]

No The extended pro hose is to long.

[@o0Hotiron0o]

Thank you ;)

[@justinchatlani6297]

Is the car kit compatible with the orange Ridgid shown in this video? The longer orange hose is different size than the stock hose of the Ridgid, not sure if that matters? Thanks!

[@dspringett]

Also wondering how the blower works for drying car also?

[@zamanali2137]

Cant seem to find it in UK..realy want this!!!

[@TheCraigwallace736]

Do you by chance have link to the bag that you fit in it? Cant find the video you showed it in.

[@ForceFreddy]

Do you think the blower option with the longer hose be a good option to dry the car? This would be a good 2 in 1 to save money. Blower and vacuum.

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

Too easy to blow shit all over the car.

[@SandstormGT]

@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 it has an attached air filter. I'd imagine if the air goes through the filter going in then it would do the same if the flow was reversed.

[@bashfullJ88]

These Vacs do not work well for drying cars. Best to just buy a cordless leaf blower.

[@teameight2447]

Better off with a leaf blower, nozzle of vacuum hose too small to be worth it

[@betod3113]

Whats a good one with stronger powerful suction?? Need a good one to clean my truck have alot to pickup!!! Tired of buying cheap vacuums not doing there job so have to return them!!

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

are the filters cleanable?

[@salmanslim]

Anymore discount codes for the active pressure washer ?

[@drpallav1]

Quick question, since it's wet vacuum as well, can you use it as an extractor?

[@PolishedMobileDetailing503]

Yes you can make an extractor with this. You just need a flat suction head off Amazon or the mytee spray head works with a threaded 1.5” adapter

[@JCourts2k23]

Do you use a filter bag?

[@isaiasguerrero2047]

Will I be able to run the ripclean extractor on the new smaller vacuum?

[@imjoshv]

Absolutely

[@harryliu3916]

Does the 4.5 gallon Propac bigger brother have the same sweep function? Do you recommend it also as a WET vacuum?

[@bashfullJ88]

The Propac Vac does not have the Sweep function.

[@Sandiego61999]

Can you remove the black plastic piece for the sweep and hose wrap up? Asking because I currently use the larger one for my detailing business but I keep it in a truck bed style toolbox and it’s quite bulky. Obviously this smaller one is already smaller but I’m curious how compact I can make it.

[@danaldrich2171]

Is a bag insert available?

[@jayturla4397]

what is 5.0pk power translate to in terms of CFM?

[@bannerrecording]

I’ve been using the rigid orange hose he’s talking about in the video for a year and a half but I’ve found it to be a little heavy so after three cars in a day my forearms are shot! Are there any light weight hoses that could work?

[@emandeli1585]

did you find somthing lighter?

[@ADVRaiderKTM]

I have both, can't decide which to keep. Which one do you use more?

[@aottaviano1]

Is one quieter than the other?

[@asiantoybox5911]

Did you post a video on the cordless version?

[@imjoshv]

Coming soon!

[@Jinxiis]

How loud is it?

[@mondogecko01]

The nxt 16 gallon 6.5 hp big boy can do with a 2.5 in 35 ft hose and hand and wand tool better than most triple motor portables

[@Tom-x3m9g]

Just add a piece of pecs pipe, plastic water pipe about 4 feet long and you don't have to bend over to vacuum the floor

[@ddautodetailing]

Nice unit! Does the other hose fit directly into the unit?

[@imjoshv]

Yes it does! No adapter or anything needed. Just plugs right in

[@ddautodetailing]

@@imjoshv Excellent!

[@truckinfool3550]

The Home Depot website says the vac has 1 7/8 inch hose, but the Amazon detail kit says 1 1/4 inch hose. Do they work together? I could really use a 15 foot hose for doing semi trucks with the vac on the ground, do you think it’s possible to DIY build a longer hose set up?

[@Mos-Hlub]

Can you store the extended hose and detail kit within either of the 4.5 or 3 gallon?

[@3jmontg]

Get the adapter plate for the ridgid pro gear tool boxes. The vac stacks ontop the tool box. Its a great combo

[@anthonyjaramillo2712]

Does this work with the better extractor kit ?

[@imjoshv]

Yep sure will

[@anthonyjaramillo2712]

[@matthewghilarducci9695]

Does it maintain good suction if you add a 30’ hose?

[@3jmontg]

Ridgid rep, on their site, said to keep the hose length below 27'

[@orthodox1717]

Hey Josh, off topic, but does the 1/4” diameter of the Uberflex hose affect performance on the 630 TSS vs a 3/8” diameter? Thanks.

[@imjoshv]

Hey mark, If there is a difference it’s not noticeable. The orifice in the nozzle is what is holding the psi and flow where it is so if the larger diameter does make a change it’s not measurable

[@djglobol]

I bought it. The suction is kinda a let down. I was expecting more.

[@2econd428]

I’m trying to get in to detailing. Would getting the 3.5hp 3 gal vac work fine? It’s so much cheaper right now.

[@bashfullJ88]

Definitely go with at least a 5 hp vac

[@areasonablethought610]

At least 5 hp or you will be vacuuming the inside of a car for an hour.

[@Garfuzzy]

Wonder how this would be if it was converted into an extractor

[@imjoshv]

It would be great! Ive seen videos online of people doing that and they all seem to use a 5hp vac. I would actually recommend going even stronger when making into an extractor so it can have more lift to pull out the water

[@s2kologist]

Is the stock hose long enough for a sedan?

[@d.t.1470]

Info-Commercial

[@TMS5100]

5hp would be 3728 watts. 31 amps from a 120v outlet ain't gonna happen. all these manufacturers are making bald faced lies. actual power is around 1.4hp. it might pull "5hp" on dead start for about 0.2 second.

[@DKMFan85]

Right now both vacuums are $129 on Home Depot's website. So if you want that extra capacity and annoying switch... lol

[@imjoshv]

Haha. That’s interesting though, the small one has been 119 and the other one was showing unavailable

[@jaxn66]

this vacuum is pretty useless. I bought for the 5.0 hp. I have another rigid 5.0 I love. It's on wheels and it's just a good powerful vacuum. This one is such a disappointing waste of money/time and energy. Short springy hose that doesn't stretch far enough to help you, there's no wheels so you have to carry it everywhere. That suction area for the sweeping is stupid because HELLO you have a vacuum, why are you sweeping?? They must've known that the buyer will ultimately end up using the old reliable broom. I give it 9 thumbs down.

[@Crappy.Consumer.Reports]

Whoever is editing your audio has a very heavy hand for the compressor setting. Very hard to listen to.

[@lburwell99]

Anyone try this with a bucket top Home Depot dust stopper or dust deputy for power tool dust extraction? Planning out a sawdust cleanup setup. I like the small size of this since a large bucket size is irrelevant if I'm using the dust stopper. Few options for high horse power, but small capacity at the same time. I could fit this and a dust cyclone in the bottom of a shop cart easy.

[@commoncents456]

Hi there Did you try this vacuum for dust collection.

[@lburwell99]

@@commoncents456 I ended going with a 4gal/5.5 hp Shop vac brand from Lowe's. I wanted something at least 5hp, but also small since I'm using the dustopper/5gal bucket as my primary collection. I have it setup on the bottom of a 2'x4' mobile workbench on casters I built. Top is same height as table saw so doubles as a support/outfeed table. I was between that and a similar spec Rigid at HD, both at $100. The shop vac one endsd up on sale for $10 off so went with that. It works great with the dustopper. I had to get the 2.5in hose kit which fits on the shop vac to get it to hook up well is all. It came with a 1.5in hose.

Hey thanks for the video, I recently started a mobile car wash/detail business and bought this vacuum so I'm glad to hear from a pro that I made a good choice. I also use it as a step stool along with my rigid pro gear 2.0 box. It also saves space, when using a hatchback space matters big time. I'm tempted to try the 18v battery powered version but since I don't have the batteries it would be an expensive investment for parking lot jobs. I 'd love to see a detailers review on that model.
