RIDGID 12 Gallon Wet Dry Vacuum with Detachable Blower

VAC1200

Two tools in one! This RIDGID 12-gallon wet dry shop vacuum is a tool that provides ultimate versatility. Not only does it boast an impressive 5.0 peak horsepower motor, great for heavy-duty cleanup, but this unique design also doubles as a detachable hand-held blower. The power head detaches from the vacuum drum and transforms into a 170 MPH blower, perfect for cleaning decks or driveways.

This heavy duty vac is also well equipped with an arsenal of tools such as the 8 foot locking Pro Hose, Qwik-Lock Pleated Paper Filter, Utility Nozzle, Car Nozzle, 2 Extension Wands and a Blower Wand. The caster feet not only provide easy mobility around the job site, but also a storage solution with their integrated recessed cavities for accessory storage.

Peak Horsepower represents a level at or below the maximum horsepower output of an electric motor tested in a laboratory using a dynamometer. Gallons indicated reflect drum volume, not necessarily collection capacity. Actual capacity dependent upon type of debris collected, condition of filter, and other factors.

Two Tools in One: Wet Dry Vac and a Blower

The vac power head serves as a high performing detachable blower in addition to supplying ample power when positioned for use as a wet/dry vac. You receive ultimate convenience as you're able to use one tool to suck up wet and dry messes around the home. This hand held high performing leaf blower delivers a 170 MPH air stream. The large ergonomic handle makes transporting around the home or job site easy.

Large Capacity Drum is Perfect for Wet Pick-up

When basements flood, pipes burst or the occasional shop spills occur, there's no doubt you want to get the job done as soon as possible. This RIDGID vac boasts a 12 gallon capacity and a powerful motor to get the job done. No matter what the mess, excess rain water or thick-caked muck, the VAC1200 is up to the challenge.

Handles Big Jobs, Yet Stores and Transports Conveniently

The RIDGID 12 Gallon Vac with detachable blower sits about 2 feet high. This unit weighs about 19 pounds and features an ultra wide diameter inlet, adaptable to 2-1/2 inch accessory tools, relieving frustration from clogging. It's a go-to vac for the DIYers or Professionals alike.

More Durable Professional Grade Hose

The 8 foot long, 1-7/8 inch diameter Premium Pro Locking Hose won't pull loose during use due to its convenient Tug-A-Long locking hose end. The rugged hose-ribbing is also four times more durable than a standard shop vacuum hose; it won’t crimp or collapse.

Easy Filter Changing- No Tools Needed

The Qwik-Lock filter fastening system simply snaps on and off with RIDGID's patented design. No tools or small hardware required for installing or removing, saving you time and frustration.

All You Need for an Efficient Clean

Life can present a variety of challenges. Fortunately, the VAC1200 comes with a variety of accessory tools to clean efficiently and effectively. The included car nozzle provides an ergonomic solution for debris pick-up. It's narrow profile also provides convenience for deep crevice reach- perfect for auto cleaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beast, Because You NEED a Beast
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
I don't use this for my day job, nor do I have a dedicated workshop. I'm a homeowner who grew tired of the small-diameter hose, underpowered, portable shop vacs that litter garages across the land. And, hard as it may be to accept, it takes a machine this large to actually serve as a reasonable home wet/dry vac.

I knew this would have suction to spare. I was worried it might be too large for hallways in my house. But the width is just narrow enough, and the wheels make it easy to maneuver. I have toted it up and down stairs and out to the back yard without complaint. When I put it away, it takes up some space--but with its compact design, no more than it needs to.

I have used it on sawdust after minor table saw work. I have used it for cleaning car interiors and cleaning the garage and cleaning an outdoor storage shed. I have removed the top to use it outside as a blower. It works great. And the various included attachments are truly useful.

When it arrived, it was missing one of the attachments (so count them). But the customer support was excellent, and they sent a replacement right away (well done!).

So. It sucks. It blows. In other words, it's practically perfect in every way.

5.0 out of 5 stars This vacuum is so powerful, it would vacuum up an elephant!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016
Verified Purchase
This vacuum is so powerful, it would vacuum up an elephant!!! Exactly what I was hoping for! I have been using it mainly on linoleum floor that I did not glue down, but it stapled down at the edges. I was concerned that the vacuum was so strong that it would pull the linoleum sheet up off the floor. However, the flat-ened attachment (the one used for getting into small cracks) has a little air vent at the back of it. This allows it to not get stuck on the floor and suck up the linoleum sheet AND it is still very strong. I have also been using it to vacuum up large sand particles (the largest are about half the size of an eraser on a pencil) and it does a pretty good job with that as well. Have not used it on water yet. Have not used the blower.

The hose is easy to use and malleable. It attaches and unattached easily- I store it unattached to the vacuum. The hose attachments are also great. On vacuums I have had in the past, the attachments don't stay on attached to the hose, but these don't fall off.

The wheels are a little difficult to install, but once installed the vacuum rolls very easily.

This vacuum did not come with the biggest mouthpiece attachment, as shown in the picture.

I can't think of anything I don't like about this vacuum.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disgusted and angry! I wish I had not bought this piece of trouble.
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
I am very disappointed with this item. It is much larger than I expected and I have no room to store it. What's worse: in the vacuum mode, it blows a tornado of air out the top vent and spews dust everywhere. The hand-held removable blower works ok, although you need a long extension cord to make it useful in a larger space. The feet/wheels on the bucket, once inserted, are almost impossible to remove and because of this, I couldn't get it back in its box for return. And one of the vacuuming head attachments was missing. Furthermore, I did not realize that it is a Home Depot product and, had I known, I would not have purchased it because I've been stung more than once on Home Depot tools. When I investigated returning it to my local Home Depot store, I was told that they no longer sell this version of it and would not accept it for return. After all this, I missed the deadline for returning it to Amazon. Now I'm stuck with this elephant-sized, useless bucket that cost $128.29. Very disgusted with Home Depot, with Rigid, and with Amazon for making this such a loser for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for cleaning cars
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2016

Hose is plenty long to clean cars. Included tools/attachments are adequate for this use. It would have gotten 5 stars if it had a tool to handle animal fur and if its wheels/legs were a little more solid. Suction is fairly strong, it can suck up small objects up (even loose coins).

It is loud, but all of the units I have used in the past were equally loud so it doesn't bother me. I guess it might be a problem if you are trying to clean discretely or have to use it indoors.

I used a rigid in my last shop that outlasted my 6 year employment so I have little doubt this vacuum will have no issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy Duty For Sure
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016
Verified Purchase
This vac probably doesn't need another 5-star review, there are already lots of perfectly good ones on this page, but I will add to its 5-star hit count. This is a really powerful vacuum at 5-HP, and the large diameter hose size is in keeping with the suction. The blower feature is a nice plus - but not tried yet. It seems like it ought to come with the bristle brush attachment - but accessories are readily available at Home Depot, be sure and buy the 2½" diameter hose sizes.
Nits...the on/off switch is oddly placed, nearly hidden and a cord holder for the electrical cord would have been an easy improvement, still...5-Stars though!

If you need/want a beast of a shop vac, this one won't disappoint!

Got this for my dad and he loves it! Still works great after a being used a ton and holds up great! The quality of the material used is good and holds up! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a new wet/dry vaccuum!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get it...but buy an extra filter

Get shop-vac. I’ve always bought RIGID shop-vacs and they’ve never disappointed. The detachable blower function is cool, but I would have liked more attachments. I demolished my whole house after the hurricane and this bad boy made cleanup nice.

One note though. I don’t like the pop-off filter. I know its easier but I like the old screw on filter, they lasted a little longer in my opinion and you knew when they were securely attached.

I was surprised and disappointed that this shop vac can not use a bag! I purchased the vac along with the recommended filter bags.. you know, where they offer the add on item that goes with or compliments the item purchased. Well, both came in but the shop vac does not have anything on the intake port to attach the bag to!! It's just a hole... no nozzle diffuser, no extension with a collar or anything to connect a bag to. Who does that??? I have never seen a shop vac that can't be used with a filter!!
