I was thinking of getting a portable wet/dry vac for cleaning my Tahoe. I saw the Ridgid WD4070 which can be used as a blower as well. Got any recommendations?

that ridgid is a nice unit... you can never go wrong with a shop vac either... I have a ridgid, they are nice.

I think the Rigid will work just fine. The price is good too. I'm a big fan of shop vacs, as I can't see paying a bunch of money on a Metro Vac N Blo. Nothing against them, I'm just not made of money.

i went ahead and bought the ridgid 4070 from home depot for $79 last week. i only used it once but i'm pretty happy with it. it can be used as a blower too.

honestly, for cleaning my truck I have a newer electrolux canister, with this nifty miniature electric powerhead that goes on the end of the hose, and it cleans the carpet quite well

i use the metal canister Shopvac's - i call them R2D2. Things are bulletproof (as far as vacs go)

I use the Dyson for the hard to reach areas :Handshake: and the Rigid for the majority of the vehicle.

If you want quality, its not going to come cheap, the best vac to clean anything, home and vehicle is tristar. And buy one, you'll never have to ask this question again or go shopping for one, my family has had the old style one since before I was born, and it still goes like a monster. You can get a mini powerhead to clean your vehicle, I used it once and, well I almost puked when I bought this truck.
