Well my 7 year old Ridgid Shop Vac died last week. I was never impressed with it its ability even with the car kit. It just did a ok job. My tornador got more use then it did. So I went looking for a well built multi purpose wall mount vacuum. It came on Tuesday and I will say for 100ish bucks its a very nice unit. It had no problem sucking grass out of that pesky trunk mats in cars. It does not come with anchors, so I would recommend buying those, but it doesn't take up a lot of space. If you are in need of a vac for the garage I would highly recommend this one.
