I had no idea this vacuum existed long ago. It’s very nice if you own Ridgid 18v power tools. It is a good cordless alternative to their smaller gun trigger version. And I don’t have to be lugging around a bulky vacuum and isn’t tethered by a cord. Pros: -lightweight portable -can fit 1-7/8 diameter accessories -can buy the filters at your local Home Depot -comes with my 2 favorite attachments car nozzle and brush and the vacuum can hold it for you -can fit 9Ah (octane) battery -strong enough suction for car cleaning Cons: -feels cheap -not as strong as regular dry\wet vacs -the hose is annoying -needs the diffuser to prevent dirt from flying out of it.

Very pleased with the both the suction performance and portability of the unit. Had the unit for couple months, achieving ~15 min or more continuous run time with fully charged battery. Accompanied attachments are solid quality and effective. This unit is perfect for those jobs where cords are an added hassle. Having multiple batteries is helpful, however not essential. In my case, also able to use my existing 1 1/4″ old shop-vac hose and attachments which makes this unit even more versatile. Did all kinds of research, very good value for $$. Generally I do not submit reviews, however if you are thinking about buying this, just do it, you will not be disappointed.
