Ryobi - ONE+ 18V Cordless Performance Hand Vacuum

I use a roomba on wood floors if doing the whole floor (best to tidy a little first - cords, pet toys, etc can get stuck - then leave for an errand because it’s pretty loud…but does do a good job and can go around most furniture, no need to get everything up off the floor) For smaller jobs and the stairs: Ryobi One+ has served me well for years whereas a couple others (shark cyclone and I forget the other one) died within about one year. Ryobi One+ has the better rechargeable battery, longer form factor means less bending over, and the “headlight” is actually super helpful and really shows you just how dirty that corner you’re vacuuming is. Also for furniture, Ryobi does ok with the roller attachment but I find nothing is as quick and effective as a lightly dampened sponge. That’s how I do wood floors and furniture - Hope it is helpful!

If you have power tools and are already invested in a battery system then buy a handheld vacuum from that brand. I own Ryobi tools and batteries so I got a Ryobi vacuum and it's so much better than the Black and Decker dust buster that I had before. You can even attach accessories to it. The batteries last a lot longer but more importantly the filter doesn't clog up a minute into the job. The problem is that these batteries are made for heavy duty tools so they're expensive so wait for deals. I think Ryobi Days on Home Depot starts soon.

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!

I have a Ryobi 18v vacuum and I’ve been liking it so far

Ive had the 18volt dust buster, the 6gallon 18v vacuum, and the 3 gallon 18v. They are all lackluster in performance. I got a makita 18v dust buster almost 8yrs ago and it’s still going great.

I use a Ryobi hand vacuum which uses the same batteries as most of my power tools. One 4ah battery is plenty to vacuum out a car or SUV on a single charge, unless it’s a giant mess. I’ve never managed to exhaust a single battery, but I could see someone with a bunch of messy kids needing two. Quite a bit cheaper than the more pro-grade Dewalt and Milwaukee tools others have noted. If you’re not using it every single day, IMO Ryobi is a better deal. Especially if you find sales on refurb or blemished products at Direct Tools Outlet, which is what most of my tools are, they can be half price or less of new price. If it’s something you’ll use heavily, like on a daily basis as a professional detailer, then go with a pro-grade brand like Dewalt or Milwaukee.

I have the handheld Ryobi vacuum. Don't expect much. It sucks dust, that's it.

I haven't tried most of these so I can't compare/contrast, but my ryobi dust buster with the + bigger battery is a beast. Super suction, easy to find & replace filters, has lasted for 10 years now, no complaints at all. It's way more powerful than the average dust buster and I could imagine it easily powering a stick vac. ultimately it also comes down to which tools/batteries you already own. I have a bunch of ryobi tools so it was an easy pick. My cordless drill, my air compressor for inflating tires, my leaf blower sweeper thing, etc all take the same battery.

The Ryobi is the best 18/20V vacuum on that list, though. The Samsung and Tineco *might* work with an adapter (they're 21.6/24V, so FLEX and Kobalt batteries would work), but the Dyson, LG, and Shark are 25.2/28V and likely would barely run at all with Ridgid 18/20V batteries. Also, the Ryobi is $100. The cheapest vacuum that beat it in Project Farm's video is the $300 LG. That's more than "a little more", it's triple the price.

I think that's the same one I have. I use it with DeWalt batteries and an adapter. Works as well as any vacuum I've used, better than most, plus it's small enough to be stored with all of its accessories in a toolbox.
