User questions & answers

Question:	I have the 6 gallon nxt with 1 7/8” hose. will this kit work with the ridgid hd6001 nxt model
Answer:	Our chihuahua barks at the gate of our property at any cars, dogs, aliens, wagons, you name it. I bought this product, hung it close to the gate and by golly, she stopped barking out there near the gate. It took close to a week for her to realize that every time she barks, she hears racket. I turned up the volume at first, but now I think I can turn it down and save the battery. The directions say to keep it within 50 feet of the action. So Sister has found other interests in the yard, and barking has lost its appeal. Smiles all around. It is working for us.
Question:	Wd4070 lost my hose, would this kit fit directly to my vacuum
Answer:	The ultrasonic sound will work on all size of dogs,if you only want to work on one dog,we advice you tray the bark collar B086X2VWV2.
Question:	does anyone know if these accessories are compatible with a ridgid 12 gallon vacuum cleaner the hose measures approximately 6 cm

Question:	Will this work with a 1-7/8 hose
Answer:	recommend you to use it outdoor,Although the device has a waterproof level of IP65, it couldn't stand a heavy rain

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone blow dry a car with this? Would be great so I can stop using my leaf blower, thanks
Answer:	No never used it as a car dryer. It is a powerful portable vac.
Question:	Does this vacuum need a bag
Answer:	No bag needed.
Question:	Do you need to remove the filter to use in "wet" mode
Answer:	My answer to this would be that you can because it has a paper element that comes with it however be cautious of how much water or liquid you pull up with the paper element cause i found out the hard way and pulled in a 1/2 gallon and almost burned out the motor cause it tended to clog pretty badly and this puts the motor under great stress and heats something awful if you go too long with it being that way. I would say a small puddle of about 3" or 4" inches about a 1/2 deep or less would be about it for a paper filter. However i purchased a wet filter and no problems so far,with a wet filter its truly made for its full capacity you can even wash it out anytime you like last forever i feel.
Question:	Where do I purchase the replacement filter for this vac? Cannot find one for the rigid Vac4000 4 gallon
Answer:	Dear valued customer, Thank you for contacting RIDGID® Customer Support. The replacement filter is part number VF3500.

RIDGID 3 Gallon Wet Dry Vacuum

Looking for a versatile wet dry vac? This compact RIDGID 3-gallon vacuum delivers the performance of a vacuum 2 times its size with a 3.5 peak horsepower motor, but in a convenient easy-to-carry and store design. It may be small and lightweight, but its loaded with features.

Clean up is quick and easy with a unique built in suction powered dust pan. With the locking expanding hose and car nozzle stored in place on-board, turn the vac to create suction through the dust pan's narrow opening.

10 feet of power cord and up to 7 feet of hose give you plenty of reach. The pleated paper filter and dust collection bag keep your air performance at its peak, make it easy to dispose of dry debris and keep a tidy drum. And to top it off, the car nozzle has an integrated LED built in that lights up dark areas where dirt likes to hide.

Peak Horsepower represents a level at or below the maximum horsepower output of an electric motor tested in a laboratory using a dynamometer. Gallons indicated reflect drum volume, not necessarily collection capacity. Actual capacity dependent upon type of debris collected, condition of filter, and other factors.

Integrated Dust-Pan Makes Clean-Up Simple

An integrated dust pan makes for even quicker clean-up. Just turn on the vac when hose and nozzle are stored on board and watch dirt disappear.

Slender Profile Stores Easily

Also included is a bleeder valve, providing variable suction control. If you want to remove lightweight debris, such as saw dust, but not pick up heavier debris which might be mixed in the sawdust, such as bolts, the bleeder valve provides suction flexibility to pick up only what you want and leave what you don't behind.

RIDGID Smart Cart Wet Dry Vacuum

Power:

Need a vac that 'does it all'? The RIDGID 11-gallon 'Smart Cart' wet dry vacuum is designed to deliver powerful suction, large capacity, and the most unique storage and mobility features available in a shop vacuum. The powerful 6.5 peak horsepower motor is one of the most powerful RIDGID offers allowing it to easily handle the biggest messes.

Peak Horsepower represents a level at or below the maximum horsepower output of an electric motor tested in a laboratory using a dynamometer. Gallons indicated reflect drum volume, not necessarily collection capacity. Actual capacity dependent upon type of debris collected, condition of filter, and other factors.

Work Station:

This impressive work station features accessory and hose storage drawers allowing the components to be kept conveniently close at hand and neatly stowed. Moving up and down steps or across rough terrain is easy with the cart handle and large rear wheels which also lock into place when you need the vac to remain stationary.

Professional Grade Hose:

Inside the top storage drawer is an 8 foot professional grade locking hose which is engineered to be four times more durable than a standard shop vacuum hose. The rugged construction prevents crimping and collapsing under load and won't pull out of the drum unexpectedly during use.

Unique Accessories:

Two included dust bags keep debris cleanly contained for simple disposal and a lighted LED car nozzle provides extra visibility when cleaning in dark locales. This vacuum also comes with a 3-layer fine dust filter which efficiently traps fine particles, such as dry wall dust.

Tools Neatly Store Inside

Accessories, such as the included nozzles and crevice tool, conveniently store in the second drawer while the vac's professional grade hose coils neatly in the top drawer. This unique storage solution provides safe keeping when the vacuum is in storage and ultimate convenience when tools are quickly needed on the job site.

Convenient Storage Design

The cube-like design fits compactly under standard height counters. The flat top also provides a surface for lighter weight stacking, maximizing your garage space. The large rear wheels also lock for storing.

Easy To Transport

The adjustable tubular steel handle, large rear wheels, hose and accessory storage compartments, integrated cord and wand storage make for extreme vac mobility, hose and accessory access and storage.

Easy To Empty

This large dent-resistant co-polymer drum provides an impressive 11 gallon capacity, making it the perfect vac to handle large volume clean-up. The patented drum design lifts out of the cart to make dumping debris quick and easy. This wet dry vacuum also comes with two large capacity dust bags which simply insert into the drum. These bags are used to capture dry debris during cleaning, when the bags are full, merely remove and dispose while the drum stays tidy.

Stable Work Surface

The flat working surface sits at 35 inches from the ground, making it a convenient solution as a temporary work top or convenient table for set tools and light materials. See Owners Manual for Use Limitations.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this come with a bag and is the bag reusable
Answer:	Yes, it comes with 2 bags, a cloth bag for dry vacuuming, and a foam bag for wet vacuuming. They are both re-usable.
Question:	How well does this pick up dog hair out of car upholstery
Answer:	It picked up hair until it stopped working. Strongly suggest not purchasing this unit. I only got about 10 hours or use out of it.
Question:	How strong is the suction for this vacuum
Answer:	- I got mine in May 2016, and it still is strong! Its motor actually has the same HP rating as those of several larger and more expensive units. Frankly, I think it's as strong as my M***e ((name masked for obvious legal reasons, LOL!)) - of course, I do check and clean the seal fairly regularly, and I use it with a "pre-fliter" ((explained below)) plus a bag inside the vacuum itself, rather than relying solely on the included cloth filter since I use it inside the house as a dust-collector for my "creative activities" - which basically means, my hobby of making sawdust ;). But I *have* accidentally picked up some fairly heavy items with it, such as bolts and large steel nuts. The main thing is that it doesn't include a motor-speed controller. I have not tried plugging it into an external controller because, whether I'm using it for hobby-stuff-dust-collection, or, due to it's light weight, using it to do household vacuuming, I *want* it on Full. If I want an adjustable-speed vacuum, or want to use the floor attachment(s), I use the M***e. - Both the inner bag-holder and the pre-filter are "hacks" I dreamed up - I use super-filtering bags in my M***e that remove particles as fine as smoke. But they are loose if just slipped over the port inside the vacuum's body. The hack? Layers of heavy/thick rubber bands - the suction pulls the bag against the "bump" and that both keeps it from slipping off, and also improves the seal between the edge of the bag hole, and the port. --- The "pre-filter" is 2 coffee cans, one stacked on top of the other; the lid of the bottom one has a hole with an emptied cylindrical prescription bottle which is adapted to hold onto the bag and the air is spun by a jury-rigged funnel which opens into the bag; on the other side of the bottom lid, there's a a hole that lets air be pulled out ((to create the suction)). The bottom lid has a ridge on it onto which the top coffee can "nests". Duct tape goes around that part to both seal it, and hold the upper can in place. The hacked-funnel-air-spinner-widget is inside the top can, and the end of a used heavy-duty CPAP hose runs from that collector part to the scroll saw port or whatever tool or hacked "grinding cabinet", etc. I'm using. There is a second hole in the lid of the top can that I deliberately made smallish, and forced the end of the Shop-Vac hose into that, so it seals pretty well. - ANYHOO, the end result is that the motor does not get clogged with fine dust particles that would sneak past, or through, the included cloth filter. - So that has kept it operating pretty well, even when I run it for very long ((1 to 2 hours, occasionally more)) periods of time. - I can't say anything about vacuuming-up water/liquids, though, because I've used my Floor Mate for that. - I bought mine from Amazon Warehouse Deals as a "used" item, BTW, and it's been excellent. - I *have* observed a phenomenon on Amazon where identical items will receive different ratings when one vendor is charging a higher price than another. That's one of the things one needs to watch out for when reading reviews. - I hope that helps! :)
Question:	If I want to use this in my car with a power inverter, what wattage inverter do I need? I can't find any info on the power draw in the description
Answer:	Just to clarify A Newman's contradiction of my answer, if you read his entire statement, he is actually referring to using a cig lighter for transferring the power, however, I was assuming the inverter would be connected directly to the battery, I figured this would be obvious. and of course in doing so, you are not going to "fry" your car's wiring system. to further clarify, hp is a poor measurement and not properly understood, the 1.5 hp 1 gallon vac actually draws 5 amps. I don't feel it would be any problem to connect your inverter directly to the battery, you simply life the hood and attach the cables....LOL., and if you are vacuuming your car, just how difficult is that. The 1 gallon shop vac will do a hell of a lot better job than any cig lighter vac that they sell for 20 to 50 dollars, those vac are useless. so you would be drawing 600 watts, which the 1000 inverter can handle, and most 1000 watt inverters have a peak wattage for start up of at least 1500 if not 2000 watts. Most 250 watt and above inverters tell you in the directions to connect directly to the battery and supply you with cables to do so, that's why I assumed the questionnaire would know this. Now in using a larger shop vac, you would of course need a much larger inverter. but my answer was in regard to using a 1.5 hp 1 gallon shop vac. so thank you for your indulgence.

Answer:	Yes. You may need an extra attachment for battery clips if your battery doesn't have a cigarette lighter adapter.
Question:	How easy is it to switch from wet back to dry pickup? does it make a mess? what happens with the filter
Answer:	As long as you are comparing model 770 units, color of case is the only difference (there's Orange, green, blue, red, perhaps more). Just don't confuse the blue 660 with the 770 models where the 660 units don't have the USB ports, on-off switch for the cables, reverse connection alarm and light. Otherwise the 660 and 770 have the same size battery.
Question:	How often do you change the filter
Answer:	I don't know I have gone down that road.
Question:	Is the battery compatible with the 20v drill
Answer:	The battery inside this is rated as "22 amp-hour" hinting it'll supply about 1 amp (at 12V) for 22 hours, or 2 amps for 11 hours, etc. So how long it lasts depends on what you're running off of it (where you need to know the load). If you're asking about "how long it lasts from one charge without needing to plug it in again", they say in the manuals to "Recharge after any use as well as every 60 days if unused". All batteries will slowly lose power if unused, so about once a month is a good rule to plug it back in for an hour. Many may say "It'll last thru 10+ jumps without recharging, so I don't see a need to plug it in every time" which they may get away with (in part since a running car begins recharging it right after the jump), but the OEM says what I mentioned (recharge after ANY use...) where keeping it full is much better than leaving it 1/2 drained. I've had a similar pack since 2000 that still delivers power well and I've followed those OEM rules, so there's at least one example of choices and results, yet it's up to you to make your own choices. If you're using this like a tow truck driver carrying it, I may just charge once a day, yet using the ESA1 cord can let you charge as you drive between jobs and for sure won't hurt it.
