18V ONE+ HP HIGH-CAPACITY Stick Vacuum Kit (PBLSV718K)

Love ours. Even upgraded to the whisper series. It’s nothing special in terms of a cordless vac, nothing to complain about either. What sets it apart is the fact that I have a dozen batteries ready to rock at any time.

Eh, it’s definitely quieter which is a plus for dogs or napping kids, but it’s not like I notice a major difference in power or anything. I’m no vacuum expert. We were happy with the original, but when part of our original broke, after some back and forth with Ryobi, they sent us the whisper model in its entirety, rather than just replace the broken part from our original, which we would have been happy with. So is it worth the upgrade? Probably not, to the average Joe like me, but it’s been nice for the QoL upgrades they made. Hope that helps!

Try the Ryobi dual-roll stick with the brushless motor. Wirecutter loves it and so do I.

We have a Ryobi 18v stick vacuum and hard floors. It gets used everyday to suck up our border collie’s fur.

I tried a Dyson once and was thoroughly unimpressed. Not only are the batteries trash but the suction was garbage. For those fucking price tags stay as far away from Dyson as possible. That said, I now use a Ryobi 18V stick vacuum *only* because I already had a bunch of 18V tools so I already had the batteries. The suction is solid and the battery life is pretty decent. It’s a well designed machine albeit a bit heavy. If you don’t already have Ryobi gear something more conventional is probably prudent.

Mine is the multisurface which I think is the cheapest one. Maybe I've just got a rubbish one or maybe it's not a great model. Just disappointing suction.

r/vaccuumcleaners might have some good tips, although in the past I asked a similar question there and a bunch of people were like “just make using the bagged vacuum easier!” Because a bagged and corded vacuum is, undeniably, the best quality and most long-lasting style of vacuum. But I’m with you, I needed a more convenient vacuum because the best quality vacuum suddenly plummets in effectiveness when you can’t bring yourself to use it. I ended up with a Ryobi 1+ pet stick vac. I tend to hyper focus when I do start vacuuming and sometimes I enjoy vacuuming for like a while, getting into all the nooks and crannies, so I wanted one with a long battery life. The Ryobi model I went for came with two decently long lasting batteries, and I feel like a vacuum by a tool brand MUST be pretty durable. It’s been a few months since I got it and so far so good
