The RIDGID HD1600 is a corded 16-gallon wet/dry shop vacuum built around a 6.5 peak HP motor, RIDGID's most powerful head. Its top detaches to work as a blower, and it ships with a 7 ft locking hose, two wands, utility, car and wet nozzles, and a standard cartridge filter. A 20 ft cord and onboard storage make it a whole-garage or jobsite tool rather than a grab-and-go vac. At $164 at Home Depot as of November 7, 2026, it sits near the low end of its recent range.
