I've had a Ridgid for at least five years and it hasn't missed a beat, despite its total neglect.

I have 2 and half Ridgid shop vacs. One big , one small (in the travel trailer) and just big bottom tank on casters for garbage can in the garage.

The one I use for Garbage can finally blew after 20 plus years...bearing went in the motor. Totally abused that thing.

Warranty ? I didn't try to warranty that one...didn't think of it. I wonder what they would have said lol.

I don't call that lazy, it's more like recharging.

I send 1500 per month for my mortgage, but I pay a little extra. I have a shiiton of equity in it, especially now.

Dude.... I don't understand how a brand new PC can come with a corrupt version of Windows 10 Pro on it. Reload: commence.

Dang, you don't still have the broken Rigid, Brew? I'd be interested to see what they say, LOL.

That sounds better than filling deep pot holes in the driveway and hand tamping in lifts. It's a long driveway.

So last night the Youtube jukebox put on some WASP. Forgot about these dudes, but I've listened to a couple albums this morning already, LOL.
