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

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.

If you’re searching for a reliable, heavy-duty cordless stick vacuum that actually pulls hair out of carpet and still performs great on hard floors, I highly recommend the Ryobi HP 18V Stick Vacuum. We use these for both residential and commercial cleaning, and for a cordless option, they’ve been outstanding. The battery life is excellent when paired with 6–8Ah lithium batteries, and Ryobi even offers 12Ah batteries if you need extended runtime. One huge advantage is the Ryobi ecosystem. They have a portable rapid charger that can hold up to 6 batteries, which is a game-changer if you’re cleaning large areas and don’t want downtime. Strong suction, great hair pickup, and real durability — wayyyyy better than any other cordless competitor we’ve tested. If you want power, flexibility, and reliability without dealing with cords, this is the move.

It has great dust filtration, its not hepa filters but they do have great replacement disc filters that can be replaced for a couple of dollars.

They’re great till they break! No parts available. I have a pile of 5 of them that are headed for the dustbin!

No silly rabbit, because there’s no parts and they were under warranty they sent me new ones. Which in turn broke.

I am nutty, but still. Like I said they’re really great vacuums till they break. At the time you couldn’t even get brush rollers and mine had plastic bearings that would melt and fuse with the housing.

Vacuums well but has two weaknesses - 1) It is heavy, so you end up having to switch hands periodically while vacuuming. 2) the canister doesn’t empty fully so you need to use a bottle brush to pull out hair that gets stuck inside. Pluses - the vacuum light is wonderful and lasts a decent amount of time on a battery.
