Not the same Rigid vac, but I have this one: Stainless vac w/cart - RIDGID Professional Tools I really like it. I powerwashed an area rug for my sister yesterday and used this to extract most of the water. It is quite powerful. I'd go rigid.
I would go with the Rigid for the no- bags. :shead:I have never seen a Shop-Vac that requires bags See if you can purchase a coupler that allows you to attach 2 hoses together.
