What’s the max time it can run on a full charge? When it dies it dies all at once, right?

I use the bigger 5 AH battery....I'm not sure I have never had it die during any vehicle although I charge after each use.
I imagine it would run for a solid 30 minutes

Small rigid i got for black friday. 5hp motor they have in there bigger ones so hope suction is good.
Look at a battery power but decided Dewalt for tools and the one that works with my battery seems to get bad ratings.

Ric, I think it was $49. I bought one and the car kit with the nice hose which was on sale for $25

Yeah it was $49. Got the car kit as well but there different sizes. Have you tried connecting the hose from the car kit?

Nice. Got it and figured i’d give it a try. It was over half off at $25…. Good deal

So the detailing kit does plug into that vac?
I wish that hose was 3’ longer. I also wish you could connect 2 together, if that was possible I would’ve bought another kit.

IMO that little brush with the black bristles is the MVP of that kit.

Yep. I think there's a hose to hose connector in the box but I never really looked at it.

The hose to hose coupler is friction fit, which does allow you to connect it to a 2.5” black hose when the adapter that connects the orange hose to the vacuum is attached… However if connecting 2 orange hoses together you’d have to eliminate that adapter that connects it to the vacuum therefore needing a screw on connector.
I hope that makes sense. It would be better explained with pictures.

I originally bought the one on the cart and I recently bought the other two. I think I'm all set
It was a tiny shop vac (like 3 gallons) and I backed over with my beater truck. The craftsman performs about as well, but i was expecting more as it has better numbers.

Why so many vacuums? I see 4?
Is the bigger 1 noticeably different than the other 2 Ridgids?

I really don't need 4, the tiny Craftsman is nice to have around. I like sales and Home Depot had some deals I couldn't pass up.
Noticeably different, yes, but only by a small margin

If we're talking just for cars, the one on the cart with wheels and storage caddy is my favorite. For cleaning my garage, I use the big one.
