Ryobi - ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum

Vac/Mops do not clean as well as having a separate vacuum and mop. They will clean better if you dry vacuum first and then use the vac/mop just to mop. I recommend avoiding any vac/mop that has a fixed battery. The battery is the most common issue and also degrades over time so any machine with a fixed battery is living on borrowed time before it's completely dead. Almost all vac/mops do not dry vacuum at all, they don't dry vacuum hard floors and they do not vacuum rugs. Only a few of the original corded Bissell Crosswaves can dry vacuum and refresh rugs, both functions are not very good and not a compelling reason to buy an original Crosswave. Steam is marginally useful. It's helpful for breaking down greasy stains but it's not strong enough to sanitize and you do not want to use steam on biological stains because it can bake/set them. Steam requires a lot of electricity so the cordless vac/mops with steam are very expensive. I think you vacuum much more often than you mop so getting a good corded or cordless vacuum is a must. The classic O'Cedar Spin Mop is really hard to beat in terms of easy to use and effective. Cleanup is emptying the bucket and machine washing the mop pads. I also just learned you can mop your walls and cabinets, how's that for versatile? If you want a vac/mop I recommend going with a corded model or a model with removable and replaceable batteries. The Bissell CrossWave Hydrosteam $269 is reasonably priced, it can use cleaning solution or steam. The Hoover Streamline Corded $138 and RYOBI ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum $379 are also good options without steam. You will get better results if you dry vacuum first. Alos lookup the cleanup required after each use because if you don't wash and dry everything it will mold and smell bad.

Most of the vac/mop combos only clean hard floors in a wet mode. Only the original Bissell Crosswaves have a dry vacuuming mode for hard floors and a wet refresh mode for rugs and it isn't very good. None of the popular vac/mops will vacuum or wet clean rugs. You need a good corded or cordless vacuum to dry vacuum rugs. Batteries are the most common failure and wear point on cordless vacuums and vac/mops so I only recommend models with removable and replaceable batteries. Owners are reporting battery failures across all models in as little as 6-12 months. Good batteries should last 2-5 years. So I don't recommend any cordless Tinecos because they all have fixed batteries. Currently, I recommend the corded Bissell Crosswave Edge/EdgeFind, corded Bissell Crosswave Hydrosteam, corded Hoover Streamline, and cordless Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Cordless SWIFTClean Wet/Dry Stick Mop and Vacuum. Since you have wood floors I'd avoid the Crosswave Hydrosteam and any steam mops as excessive heat can damage wood. Please be warned vac/mops must be washed and dried after every use or they'll grow mold and odors very quickly. I hope that helps.

I also have the Wet/Dry (PBLSV747K) and second everything u/ed_mcc said. It's a FANTASTIC mop, especially with my having a couple of senior pets that don't control their bladders very well, and one that often has wet-stool accidents. Using a deodorize/sanitize solution in a spot spray bottle in addition to the onboard clean solution tank is the trick that makes that device special. You can target a bit of concentrated cleaner right where you need it most. I know it's a bit steep in price, but if you use it often, it's worth every penny. I had a circa-2020 CrossWave and this one is MUCH better.

I went with a Ryobi because I have a lot of Ryobi tools so I also have a lot of Ryobi batteries. I scored a machine on clearance for $100 and it’s honestly it’s pretty great. I have owned a Tineco that was gifted to me and that thing was hot garbage. If you have power tools, look to see what whatever platform(s) you are invested in already have to offer.

Yeah I wouldn't use the wet dry one as a dry vac. If you did I wouldn't expect it to work on carpet. I'd use it as a mop. The seal on the filter of the one I have has deformed so now it doesn't seal properly, but I just need to get a new filter. It works significantly better than the Bissell crosswave my in laws bought us (before I was assigned to this project). The high capacity one seemed fine from my use of it, but I was not the engineer for it so I don't know as much about it. Also both of mine are pre-production so what you get should be more refined.

What's missing is the cordless Ryobi stick vacuum that you can pick up at Home Depot for $199. Wirecutter rated it just under the Dyson stick, and for a third of the price? I have two, and they pick up enough stuff that at first, you go 'Wow!', then you go 'Eeewww' because you realize all that stuff has been on your floor all along.

We have a Dyson V6 that we got on special YEARS ago, still working. The brush is a bit worn though so I have one coming from Aliexpress for not much $$. Keep an eye on specials. I'll replaced it at some point with a Ryobi as if you register it, you get 6 years warranty. Being a stick vac makes it about 10000% easier to be motivated to vacuum compared to a drag around vacuum. Granted the suction won't be as good, it's a worthwhile compromise IMO.

I replaced an old Amazon generic cordless stick vac. They Ryobi was much more powerful and was much more effective on corners and edges.

I have the HP+ one and it does good for daily cleanings. On hard floors it can "scatter" the debris around a bit but mostly picks it up. I hear this one does that better due to the roller style. I also am only using single roller and I do love it. Killing a battery is easy to swap as I have 3 6ah HP+ batteries I've accumulated. It makes me want a Dyson since it does so great and I hear those are best except the battery but it does so good as is I think this whisper series wouldn't be bad either. I'm bad at linking stuff but there is a YouTube channel that did a stick vac comparison and it really highlighted the weekspots of the Ryobi one I have. Maybe this one would be better.

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.

I second shop vac opinions. The Ryobi 18V unit is super nice and you can use the battery and charger with their power inflater for your tires too
