RIDGID

NXT

Cordless

Working for Emerson Tool Company, a direct supplier to The Home Depot, has provided me the opportunity to redesign the RIGID product line. Although my design team has developed vacuums with superior suction and blowing power, as well as construction grade air movers with a thrust upwards of 1625cfm, no product with corded power with the freedom to vacuum freely has been provided- until now. This is the RIDGID NXT CORDLESS Wet/ Dry Vacuum.

I had a few primary goals while designing this product—first and foremost was to design the Cordless NXT Wet/ Dry Vacuum with RIDGID's Durability. This cordless vacuum can fall out of a truck, slam into a wall and still perform at the highest cordless level. With a focus on Aesthetics, the design follows a streamline power-tool visual language matching RIDGID’s power-tools. This language of streamlined edges, surface changes and mixed textures allows for the visualization of “no job too big or difficult”.

​

Another goal was the Ergonomics. After a long day’s work, you want to comfortably grab the cordless vacuum, wind up the hose and move on. The stout handle that doubles as a double battery receiver.

​

With this product being cordless, cleaning patterns go from locating outlets and extension cords, re-plugging cords, and maneuverability issues to grab and clean! Due to this, the cleaning process changes to more of spot cleaning in small timed increments, cleaning more frequently, therefor a cleaner environment or product. To see more click below!
