You can get the extractor for $120, an air hose and switch the end to hook up to water for around $30. And if you already have a shop vac you’re set for just at $150.
Don’t forget folks, Ridgid offers a LIFETIME WARRANTY on their products. Talk about “putting your money where your mouth is” and “value”. Definitely both in my opinion. Wasn’t aware of the kit that could be purchased to make any vacuum an extractor. That’s awesome as the extractor I have is almost 30 years old and I think I may need a new one.
You can already buy a claw attachment for $12 at home depot. The only difference is the one in this clip is clear instead of black. Spray your chems with a pesticide applicator and you're only in $30 plus the vacuum.
@@moodyfromyt8222 I dont think you can get warranty after buying from a previous owner; I believe you have to buy the product direct from Home Depot then register it to get the warranty.
Commented on the last one. For the price, great idea. For the mobility great idea. But, if you've got the money to spend and your clients come to you, a really nice high end steam extractor is going to blow that out of the water. For double or maybe triple the price admittedly. (Maybe even more depending on how deep your pockets are.) However, this is a situation where your tools need to fit the kind of work you do. Seriously good idea though, looks like it works wonderfully.
Man, if you saturate the backside of cushions and carpet and it will mold and mildew. It's best to use spray foam (like Lifter 1)which lifts the dirt etc without water saturation. Then just vacuum.
@davidraabe1884 For sure. I used it twice , once on my parents vehicles and it did a good job. I do want to buy a 2nd Rigid vac so I don't have to keep swapping filters.
Aqua pro vac is a Great extractor but it was around 1000 Canadian to my door lol. Worth it but if you're in Canada save the extra $1000 for a heated wet vac or this idea with the ridgid looks cool 😎
Actually the aqua pro vac is more powerful. Your 5hp shop vac has a 5 amp motor where the aqua pro has a 5.5 amp motor. Also if you are running off 120 you aren’t getting the full 5 hp as 120 isn’t strong enough to run a 5hp motor to its full power.
its a great starter, but you cant sustain a real detail business with it because it is too slow/small, not just in capacity but in the nozzle size. Detail geek may swear by it, but he also talks about 14 hour long details, great for content but not a detail business. The aqua pro mentioned can cover the same area in half the time, not including multiple passes (since it has higher output you need only one pass usually).
I would highly recommend the karcher puzzi 10/1, its a german made water vacuum cleaner with a bit higher price tag. I've been using it professionally for years now and with the right cleaners I do my job perfectly.
@steven7288 Hey bro i have been thinking of going this route however in the States there not that popular so I havent been able to test one out. Main question is, how is suction power compared to lets say the AquaPro, and compared to the Rigid Vac?
I have a detail business When I start my business my first vacuum was rigid but like a year ago I switched to dewalt vacuum and for my experience is better and stronger
@@truereality5873 Hi, I know the rigid vac has more horsepower and works well because it's the one I used when I started my business about three years ago. but about a year ago I started using the DEWALT vacuum with the stainless steel bucket and in my experience it works much better than the rigid
Extractors aren’t spoken in matter of “power” it is all about “lift”. That’s the vacuum part which is largely the most important aspect of extractors to be considered good, better or best. Just FYI
So for $300 plus the cost of the shop vac (basically putting you at $400) you can almost have the product you actually wanted that cost $550?? Just save up and get the heated one at that point.
Would be nice to see where to get all the parts to just make it yourself. Because >$200 seems a bit high for what you get. Huge profit is being made on their end.
@@evossnipa5537 Explain then how that would work when doing a vehicle in a apartment complex or hotels or building settings with no water spickets ? Or even a regular house where the spickets are over 50 feet away from you lol you need a pump genius to run from your water tank that’s if you want to be completely mobile and not be one of those embarrassing cheap half a$$ mobile detailers that uses the customers water and electric and can only make money if the customer has an actual house
Great and all, but they don't sell this in the nl. Neither does mighty. And i need something else than my shitty kärcher. The puzzi model is okay, I've heard, but just as expensive as the aqua pro vac and i believe the aqua pro is a liiiiiitle better from what I've seen.
the rigid is a nice compact, i got it for the warranty (home depot will swap it out immediately) but im going on year 3 and hundreds of cars and i havent needed it. And i am rough on it, 4 hours continuous use sometimes. Cord does get hot then.
@@markprovo3690 over the years I've used all types of wet vacs, just make sure to use foam filter , on stuff that need less water I use a 2 gallon pump sprayer to wet interior and to rinse then shop vac out, it dries alot faster.
@wilsonautodetailing Which one is stronger because i honestly like the self containing Aqua Pro Vac better. Instead of hooking up and separate lines. But that’s only if the Aqua Pro Vac is just as or stronger than the Ridged extractor.
I finally got everything for mine too and I built it I'm excited to use it to clean the car now with my 5.0 hp and 16 gal shop vac oh I actually used a new vac hose separate from the original one the vac uses so vac first then extract too and just swap hoses
@@OneandOnly99 haven't used it yet I will soon as I get actual cleaners to do it safely. The spray part on the wand works amazing too if anything I'll use it on an office chair I have here that I tried to clean one time too because it is a bit dirty too.
@@OneandOnly99 oh also... A smidge expensive but I'm pretty sure it was because of the stuff I bought for it to fit my vac because I had to get a 2 in hose and that neck down part too. The most expensive part at least to me that I had already was the water supply line or the air hose for it. I bought it like 3 years ago but never used it and used it for that it's different from the one he used but I couldn't find one like that.
Not at all. Maybe aquapro is but no expensive one is lol. The bissel one you cannot use it unless you have the bristle thing. That shits terrible and have to out into the upholstery. A expensive one can just be put onto it and it'll work the same as how he has to push way down.
Dry vac with dry filter installed, Then swap to wet filter to wet extract (it's best doing in this order when doing a single session). Use the same hose and same unit, just swap the filters for what job you need done with the DYI shop vac extractor. 💪
@@devonthetrain12 tbh I’ve never used my rigid as an extractor so I don’t think it would be fare to compare them that way yet. The aqua pro is great if you aren’t trying to blow your budget for a heated extractor.
@@devonthetrain12 i have an aqua pro, its alright but it does have some build quality issues imo. The tube for the sprayer pops off the quick connect coupler, the nozzle drips too much and the hose is kinda cheap and bends/kinks alarmingly if you aren't careful.

a better head then this one with metal reinforcing on ebay is 10 pounds. and if you have a 40 pounds wet and dry vacuum you have a way better cleaning machine then this one. Because the 2000w wet and dry vacuum is superior to this toy.
@@krownlessking2423 a ship vac will never compete with a dedicated extractor. It's just not made to work with water. Sure, the shop vacs can suck up water, but they're designed to do that like 5-10% of the time, not primarily.

Doesn’t work for mobile detailing though . Only connects to a garden hose spout
What site can I order it from??
So for $300 plus the cost of the shop vac (basically putting you at $400) you can almost have the product you actually wanted that cost $550?? Just save up and get the heated one at that point.
Have you tried higher end shop vaccum ? Like fein bosch karcher or similar
done that 2015! til Now ..
So can you easily connect and disconnect the extractor kit, or is it too much hassle?
Yeah but if you’re mobile, would that 50 ft water line be long enough to reach spigot on most homes is my question….

Cool!
Can I use the 14 gallon shop vac?
Why are you dumping it on the concrete?
Why that one when craftsman has a 6.5hp shop vac??
It’s universal so use what you already have unless that really matters to you. Personally I have one I don’t use now I can.

🤘 just put me on
How can it connect with the water when working remotely with no tap near?
Will it work with the craftsman vacc? That's what I already own. It's about the same size as the ridged one shown.
Can I still use it as a vacuum tho?
Ok where can i buy ?
You will need a water source for this,
But there is no heated water nor steam. Pressure only goes so far. Temperature also changes the game.
