About This Vacuum
Meet the RIDGID 3-Gallon 18V Cordless Handheld Wet Dry Vac—a portable shop vacuum engineered for jobsites, garages, and car detailing where power outlets don't reach. This battery-powered wet/dry vacuum taps into RIDGID's 18V battery ecosystem, delivering cordless suction for both liquid spills and dry debris. The 3-gallon capacity handles substantial messes without frequent emptying, while the rugged construction stands up to workshop conditions and outdoor use. Versatility defines this vacuum's design. The 1-7/8" expandable hose stretches from 2 feet to 7 feet for maximum reach, featuring a variable suction valve that lets you dial power up or down mid-clean. Built-in accessory storage keeps the multi-purpose nozzle and expandable hose organized, while the included 22" extension wand adds extra reach for floor cleaning or high shelves. The on/off switch sits under the handle to prevent accidental activation during transport—a thoughtful touch for jobsite use. This vacuum excels in workshops, construction sites, car interiors, and anywhere corded vacuums can't go. It's ideal for contractors, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone with a garage workspace or vehicle detailing routine. The trade-off is battery dependency—you'll need a RIDGID 18V battery and charger (sold separately), and runtime varies with suction level and debris type. For users already in the RIDGID tool ecosystem, this vacuum extends that investment into portable cleanup power.
