Javier Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I check out Fein's latest dust extractor wet dry vac the Turbo I Its got some cool tech like a very quiet motor 67 dB, built in power outlet for power tools like the Fein Multimaster to use with this vac and has an autostart feature. The vacuum will power on only when the tool is activated when set to the autostart setting and will stay on for a few seconds after the tool is turned off to suck up any remaining dust then the vac turns off automatically. Ofcourse you can still turn the vac on and off manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Nice review Javier. I really like it. If my old Ridgid ever dies, I might just have to pic this thing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 The only problem is Ridgid vacuums never seem to die. I have seen them still going strong after 10 years of hard use. I love mine I have tried both Shop Vac and Craftsman vacuums and they both had issues. I haven't had any with the Ridgid so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks Conductor, I think DR99 is right about the ridgid vacs. My first ridgid vac was a used 14g from craigslist I got for $20. It had some age on it and I took it apart cleaned it and rebuilt it and it was working just as strong as new models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've used mine about every day for 8 years now and it's still running like new. I've had to fix the cord a couple times, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianD Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I can attest to the long life of ridgid shop vacs. My company uses theirs everyday to suck up wastewater cake that falls off the press (pressed sludge) and its been going strong since before I even started working there 7 years ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My company uses theirs everyday to suck up wastewater cake that falls off the press (pressed sludge) and its been going strong since before I even started working there 7 years agoThat's not the kind of cake I want to hear about. I'm just so angry I wasted money on other crappy wet/vac's over the years when I could have had a Ridgid and been done with it. I also wouldn't mind a dust extractor either but I think they are two different beasts almost. A wet/dry vac is made to be beat on a little compared to an expensive dust extractor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
