**Ern** · 02-13-2008, 11:52 AM

Which vacuum would you guys go for out of these 2? Lemme know if there is another model if one is better. I dont go mobile, tho sometimes I will do it for my parents. Most of what happens, happens in my garage.

RIDGID 4 Gal. 5.0 Peak HP Portable Pro Vac - WD4050 at The Home Depot

RIDGID Stor Ãƒ¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã‹Å“N Go Wall Mounted Vac - WD5500 at The Home Depot

What do you guys think? In a way they both look somewhat portable.

Have you look at the 4550. I love how you can store everything in it.

get the 4050. its awesome.

I have been happy with the 4050, I have not tried the 5500.

I have this one, but maybe storage is an issue for you. Its a little larger but a great vac......

The 4 gallon 5 hp one is great.

My dad has that one and it really sucks. The hose size is too big and it barely sucks

Or this one that looks like the metropolitan but is 65 % cheaper.

What is the total length of the hoses?

I`ve had a Rigid 4050 for 2 years. It`s portable, powerful and reliable.

Hehehe, ya dont use the large hose! Go with the 1 7/8 and you have nearly twice the suction. For $40.00 is hard to beat.....

Looks like that 4050 is a popular choice. I just that wall mount would be nice to save some space. The other thing is, is that I hate to go the vac itself to close to the car. I dont wanna hit the paint.

**gmblack3** · 02-14-2008, 12:40 PM

I have the wall mount and like it. Nice for it to be up out of the way when not in use. If you get the 4050, maybe some extra hose with the difference in cash.

Also keeping your filters clean is the most important part.

Hell I have the 6.5 hp 16 Gallon and I love it. That thing is awesome. I was going to go with the chrome one but wasn`t going to spend the extra cash for a pretty one.
