I've got two of these Ridgids. One crapped out this past winter, the other (older one) still goes strong. I just played around with the newer of the two and it seems to now work again. They are decent vacs but they come with undersized hoses of a cheaper quality. But for $40 you can't go wrong and my newer one is four years old, the other one is seven years old. If you register them, they carry a LSA.
