Ryobi - 18V ONE+ HP Stick Vacuum Kit

Had an older Ryobi stick vac that was awful but decided to give a newer model a try when it was on sale. I got the “PBLSV716 18V ONE+ HP Stick Vacuum” and it’s fantastic. Had a Dyson in the house that was always a pain and I ended up swapping it to the shop and leaving the ryobi as the family vacuum. Never struggles to pick anything up and doesn’t slow down or shut off like the Dyson did all the time. I keep a 4ah battery in it and a second one on a wall mounted charger next to it. Easy to just swap them after I run through the whole house.

It's one of the few stick vacuums that can stand upright with a battery by itself. I have the OG version, insanely good vacuum and affordable. The way you hold it is a key design feature, zero wrist strain or pain. I think this new vacuum is the third version.

This came in handy when I needed to vacuum the inside of a disassembled dryer and my 3gal ryobi shopvac was too cumbersome.

I have a pet stick vac and upgraded to this one then returned it and got another pet stick vac. the "whisper" is only quieter because it runs at less power. at full power it makes about as much noise as the regular vac. the dual rollers are heavier and harder to maneuver than the single roller however it does a slightly better job of cleaning bare floors. overall the for me the price increase isn't worth it over the pet stick vac. I have both the dual roller and single brushless pet stick vacs and almost always go for the convenience of the single roller, it's just so quick, light and easy to maneuver which is kind of the point of these.

[stick vacuum](http://ONE+ HP 18V Cordless Pet Stick Vacuum Cleaner Kit with 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE Battery and Charger https://share.google/7ld7OfDJhDu4i6VoX)I bought this one. It came with the battery and charger. I have Ryobi shop vacs so I have several batteries. I really like almost all Ryobi stuff but was disappointed with the leaf blower I bought.

I got a buddy to print this for me, and it works great on the model PBLSV716 [3 D printable vacuum mount](https://www.printables.com/model/440020-ryobi-one-hp-18v-cordless-pet-stick-vac-wall-mount)

I have the PBLSV716K (Smoke canister, single roller) and I've loved it. Is the 719K THAT much better? I ask about upgrading because I have a Himalayan kitty, so I get "tumbleweed" tufts of fur she pulls out constantly, and I live on a small hobby-farm in Florida, so I get a fair amount of loose sand and dirt tracked in. There's SO much sand here in FL, and it sticks to EVERYTHING. Sometimes I just need to bust out my 22-year-old Hoover WindTunnel that I have affectionately named "El Patrón", and then he flat out EMBARASSES my RYOBI about how much dirt and hair he still finds buried in the carpet. I know a stick will never defeat an old-school boss like that 12-Amp beast, but if I can pull him out once a month compared to once a week, I'd call it a win.

My sister had a Dyson, and I nabbed her a PBLSV716K (lesser model than this) because she tried the one I had and liked it so much better. I caught them giving it away as one of the "Free Tool" specials during RYOBI Days, so I snatched up the deal, kept the batteries, and gave her the vacuum. Dysons are expensive hype against the current generation of stick-vacs. I'll admit they had some revolutionary designs at the beginning but they've been outpaced by rapid parallel development in the market.

NO! Ryobi brushless from Home Depot. Easily replaced parts and multiple rechargeable batteries.

I’m switching from Ryobi to another brand after having several tools break over the last year. That being said, I just purchased another Ryobi stick vac to replace our Dyson in our home. Out of anything they produce right now- they got this one right.

Still have issues with small pieces breaking in the joints where you can remove the stick/extension. Once those break, it becomes loose and has small air leaks:(

I have a similar designed upright vacuum like the bissell, but it is cordless and it did not have the best filtration. I ended up getting a [Ryobi 18v](https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-18v-one-hp-stick-vacuum-tool-only_p0657566) one as I can just swap the battery (but not integrated dock for charging). I have a Hoover Allergy 7011PH for deeper cleaning but sometimes, its great but I can't be arsed dragging the cord around.

I have a Ryobi cordless pet hair vacuum that works great. It’s probably on sale at Home Depot or direct tools outlet right now.
