WD1230, WD1200 specifications

The RIDGID WD1230 and WD1200 are industry-leading wet/dry vacuums designed for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, offering unparalleled performance and versatility for a variety of cleaning applications. With their robust construction and innovative technologies, these vacuums are well-suited for tackling debris in workshops, garages, and construction sites.

One of the standout features of the RIDGID WD1230 is its powerful motor, which provides an impressive suction capacity of 6.0 peak horsepower. This enables users to pick up a wide range of materials, from fine dust and sawdust to larger debris, ensuring a thorough clean every time. Similarly, the WD1200, while slightly less powerful, still boasts a commendable 5.0 peak horsepower motor, making it an excellent choice for light to medium-duty cleaning tasks.

Both models are equipped with a durable, high-capacity polypropylene tank capable of holding 12 gallons of liquid waste.

Additionally, they have designed these vacuums with a focus on ergonomics and ease of use. The WD1230 and WD1200 feature top-mounted handles and an integrated push handle, making it easy for users to move them around the job site or workshop.

Another notable technology present in both models is the advanced filtration system. Each vacuum comes with a proprietary multi-layer filter that captures 99% of fine dust particles, ensuring cleaner exhaust air. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with allergies or sensitivities to dust. Furthermore, the vacuums include a patented wet/dry filter that can be easily cleaned and reused, saving users money in the long run.

Portability is another key characteristic of the RIDGID WD1230 and WD1200.
