I do a lot of DIY projects, and therefore I make a lot of messes. A LOT of messes. I’ve mentioned several times that my garage looks like an episode of Hoarders, and I am not kidding. My husband hasn’t been able to park in there for months, and it’s all my fault. (Cue violins.) Luckily, I was recently given the opportunity to review a product that has proven to make my life a whole lot easier, and my husband a whole lot happier. No, he hasn’t gotten his parking spot back yet, but we are one step closer thanks to this RIDGID Wet/Dry Vac.
I do a lot of sanding and painting, so there is always a thick layer of dust and debris covering my garage floor. I tested out my new little friend just to see how he would handle the mess.
Easy-peasy! This thing seriously makes cleaning up so much easier. I had recently sanded a table and was in the process of painting it, but the debris on the floor kept getting stuck to the wet paint. Now I can just zip over it with this wet/dry vac and get rid of the mess between sanding and painting. Plus, now I can actually clean up between finishing one project and starting a new one.

Before. Yes, my garage looked like that. Shh… |

After. Much better, but I still have a long way to go as far as organizing! |
This vac packs some serious suction power. It’s also great for vacuuming out the car, which is something I definitely need to do more often. I haven’t tried vacuuming up any liquids but I’m sure I’ll have a spill at some point and this will come in handy for that too.
This particular product is a 3-gallon Wet/Dry Vac and is available online exclusively at Home Depot. Here’s where you can find it: RIDGID Wet/Dry Vac. At just under $50, it’s a great deal. Clean-up is easy and it’s light-weight. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone who loves home projects or any other activity that may create messes that your basic everyday vacuum can’t handle.

Disclosure: I received this product for free to review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Lightweight is such an important quality ina wet/dry vac! We have a different brand and it is a total pain to use!
Thanks for stopping by, Kelly! This one is super light weight and easy to drag around. I’m really happy with it so far!
Great review…this looks like something we could use. 🙂
Thanks Amanda! I think it will definitely come in handy.
I love the low price, that it’s lightweight and it’s a smaller size. Thanks for the review…I would never have known about it!
