RIDGIDIND6054 - 16 GAL RIDGID. 5.0 PEAK HP NXT SHOP VACUUM WET DRY VAC 110V 60HZ
The RIDGID 16 Gallon 5.0 Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum is engineered for large, heavy-duty cleanup projects, delivering maximum capacity, powerful suction, and long-lasting durability. Designed to withstand demanding jobsite conditions, the rugged vacuum drum resists dents, rust, and corrosion, ensuring reliable performance over time.
This high-performance shop vacuum includes a complete set of 2-1/2 in. locking accessories, allowing you to customize the setup for a wide range of applications. Two extension wands provide extended reach, while the utility nozzle enables fast and efficient cleaning of large surface areas. The advanced locking technology ensures a secure, airtight connection that won’t loosen during operation.
Convenience features such as onboard accessory storage, a 15 ft. power cord wrap, and ergonomic comfort-grip handles make transport, setup, and storage effortless. The vacuum also converts quickly into a blower using the integrated blower port—ideal for clearing leaves, grass clippings, and outdoor debris from walkways, porches, and decks.
For wet pickups, a built-in drain at the base of the drum allows for easy liquid removal without lifting the vacuum. The included general debris filter (VF4000) effectively captures everyday dirt and debris, helping maintain strong suction and consistent performance.
