Yesterday I bought a Ridgid shop vac at the local HD. It was a special ,
12 gal @ 29.95. On the first day of a three day sale, at 9:00 AM there were two in the store. My experience has been with Craftsman (a screamer) and Shop Vac (much quiter) Both had a problem with filters that clog up quickly. I have been using bags for quite a while. There doesn't seem to be any bag, or foam sleeve option with the Ridgid. Just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to alleviate the clogging problem. There isn't much help on their web site that I could find. Thanks, Frank
