Ryobi - 18V ONE+ HP Stick Vacuum Kit

[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 question how fixable these Ryobi Stick Vacs are - there are very few teardown videos (mostly older models) and aftermarket spare parts, unlike DeWalt but DeWalt doesn't make home vacs (they make shop vacs, which I have the DCV501LN which is excellent). Family has the R18XSV9 Pet Stick vacuum with the R18XSV3-FH3 beater bar/motorised head unit. After about (less) than 2 years, the head's hose tore from repeated flexing. Pretty poor quality hose really. Couldn't tape it as the Y shaped plastic encasing made it inaccessible. Even worse, there is no official replacement for the hose, and Ryobi claims the head is a consumable (which is why there are no spare parts for it apart from the rotating brushes). A new replacement head is 1/4 the price of the vacuum, which is really stupid when one of the cheapest parts of the head is prone to early failure, leaving the head unusable. I quite like the replaceable batteries, but I wouldn't quite recommend them to anyone. Perhaps I'd change my mind if more fix-it videos come about or Ryobi starts providing more spare parts and instructions to replace parts. I am glad that when I was shopping for a shop vac, I did not go for the RHV18X and went with the DCV501LN instead.

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)

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!

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.

i personally liked the new [Ryobi 18v pet vacuum from bunnings](https://www.bunnings.co.nz/ryobi-18v-one-hp-bl-stick-vac-with-dual-roller-kit-r18xsv9pet142_p0372183), however it may not be for you. **pros:** \-quite affordable for a 2 battery kit compared to dyson \-good suction \-2 hepa filter included in the box, new filters sold at bunnings \-double roller (1 softroller + 1 brush) and mini powered roller included **cons:** \-no charging dock in NZ, however it comes with charger in the USA model \-no mechanism to easily push dirt out from the cannister \-little bit heavier than the dyson, especially with the battery on it \-no self cleaning dock either I know bunnings isn't usually a place for people to go to for house vacuums but if you own Ryobi tools or looking for different options this may one to consider? I also see Shark vacuums are similarly priced with a self cleaning dock as well, maybe have a look into those

Tbh Bunnings mostly have entry lvl brand for stick vacuums and plug in wet n dry vacs. Ryobi have been killing it in the last few years with their high performance (HP) lineup though which is why this one is pretty decent for the cost It’s really good value if you consider that it comes with 2 batteries and new ones are easily interchangeable and easy to replace then it’s a good option

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.

my ryobi pet stick vacuum it works great and its cordless

We got the ryobi pet stick a month or so ago and have really liked it- it does a good job getting dog hair off the couch, battery life seems ok for us( we already had a bunch of the batteries for other tools)
