Ryobi Wet/Dry Hand Vacuum 18V One+ Test and Review 

Came here because I couldn't figure out emptying it the first time! Thank you for the info. I agree with your thoughts.

Thank you for this review. Very thorough and sooo helpful to those of us trying to empty the dust bin for the first time. Getting the lid off that first time is very difficult, just like you said. Your other comments were precise and helpful. Thanks again!

Thank you!! I could not figure out how to empty this thing for the life of me. Really informative video. Great job!!

Picked it up and testing it myself, currently have other bigger wet/dry and this was on sale, thanks for the review!

Great video, thank you! I had watched several videos before AND consulted the instructions, and this video is the only one that actually said how to remove the cup to empty out the dust. Awesome!

I like it for its convenience, versatility and portability. It’s definitely great for the car and my apartment.

Was trying to figure out how to add the attachments. Much helpful

Reminds me of the black and deck rechargeable dust buster good old days in the 80's 🤟🤙

Thanks for the good demo. I bought it for the car. Disappointed in suction. Eats battery life going over and over the surfaces. I've been spoiled by Dyson in the past since I could get the whole car done in one charge by not having to go over the surfaces multiple times.

Thanks for showing us how to empty it. We figured it was simple but the written instructions didnt cover it. Perfect for the carpeting on the steps.

Thank you! Couldn't get the dang bin open!

Thank you !!! This was very helpful and your instructions were very clear !!!

Bought it for use in my camper, works great, especially catching the debris around the door!

It’s looks like it’ll be handy with small spills in cabinets, when changing faucets. After sweeping a small dust pile. Thanks for the review

Thanks 🎉you help me figure out how to open the lid, and I found out there was other attachment in the bottom of the box . After watching your video 🙌🏾😊

I'm still rockin' the old blue one I got somewhere around 2006. It's great for clean-ups that are a bit on the small side for a shop vac. It's small enough that it's fine to lug around with you when you think there will be clean-ups like cutting a 12x12 piece of sheetrock out. Anything much bigger than that I bring something else.

This vacuum is awesome, you can’t beat it for the price. I got two now, one in the shop and other in the house. Also ditch the 2ah for a 4ah, it’s a huge difference.

Thanks for the video man!

Thinking getting this, I saw the larger one that looks like hybrid between dust buster and stock vacuum. But it's larger and least this one more portable. Old dist buster even after cleaning and changing filter seems to be blowing air and dust out

Thank you for the review! I thought I must be missing something and you confirmed I didn't. Purchased it to help empty the toilet before cleaning and it was laughable at how poorly it did. Barely holds anything and need to disassemble it to get the cup of water out. I thought maybe I was missing a quick release on the water so I could suck up the water and dump it quickly. Nope. It's being returned immediately as it was $65ish. (Did get another battery but what good is the battery if the product is awful.)

I'm working travel nurse assignments and this is perfect for my car travels. Thanks for the reveiw.

So I bought this and it sucks well but starts to suck very poorly with dirt dust and what have you as it all clumps on top of that small intake square. Would be great to be able to use it without that. Great for wet but not good at dry unless you wipe dirt off the square frequently

Great demo! Couldn’t figure out how to empty it. Directions included weren’t specific enough 😅

How is this if the liquid spill was on a RUG/CARPET? Does it suck up the water fairly decently? The demo here was on a hard surface which is easy to clean up but on a rug?

I like the video it was a good review to dump the vacuum and i like the vacuum to clean small spills or the vehicle. You kind of have to preas down good to get the suction.

Home Depot has the bare tool on Sale for $21 right now.

Needs a wall mounting option. Cfm is very low so it's not good for sucking regular debris. Definitely most powerful for it's size for water pickup though. It has a lot of pressure with the water squeegee. It's perfect for cleaning up around laundry room, bathroom, etc. Taking the mop, shop vac, or towels would be too annoying.

Thanks so much!

Not impressed so far with it. Good demonstration and I appreciated it.

Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to empty it 😅

Thanks for this review video. I've been looking at this dry/wet Ryobi vac for a while now and for the use in car vac only. Looks like the tool is good for the seats, but questioning if the power suction is strong enough 🤔.

Just got this for $20 today at home Depot. Good deal for the price.

Thank you

Thank you for the detailed review. The brand name is the only thing that makes it impressive. When you said 10 minutes of use. That also was a deal breaker.

I just bought one and the accessories do not fit the accessory adapter.

Thank you for saving me from this suction-less vacuum.

I wanted see if you put some foaming cleaner down on some carpet. Would it work like a shampooer?

W Reeee-obi vid ❤.

Thanks for the video

I bought a new one for $20 in the bargain bin at Home Depot. Two take aways, I found a steal. HD never loses money, which tells me the mark up on this must be incredible.

Have you've been able to find replacement filters so that while one is drying, I can use the other? thanks

I use it for my car. I've been taking the filter out if I'm cleaning up liquids. Are we supposed to leave it in?

Looks just a half step better than my older model. I got it to clean up around the cat litter box and it’s pretty bad for that job. The round shaped head doesn’t cover much area and the suction can’t get the cat litter up without taking 20 strokes per granule (ok that’s exaggerated a bit, but it feels like it). My days on is much better, but that pig cost me a bundle so it should. Sadly my old black and decker fold up died or I’d still be using that.

It's good enough for the car task to keep it in cleanup applications. To many of us want big do all results for peanuts

Buy charger and batteries, get the tool free. I chose this vacuum. I will carry it in my car, or for minor clean ups in my work shop. (Wood chips). Thank you for the video, it is absolutely correct.

Does it work on arm hair? :)

Can you test this wet and Dry vacuum on a bed mattress. Can you spray upholstery cleaner on the bed mattress if theres a coffee stain. Will the vacuum be able to suck the wet upholstery cleaner out of the mattress after you left it for some time?

Not sure I would use this regularly for drywall dust. Would probably kill the motor pretty quickly.

I use some Ryobi products but this product I will avoid at this moment.

I think some specs would be helpful. CFM ,Pa, watts, air lift, inches of H20

Ryobi 2Ah barely sucks anything. My 18V Ryobi weed trimmer, barely cut grass, it was so weak.

42 mbar vacuum power. Einhell TE HV 18/06Li = Turbo Mode On 72 mbar

I just got mine but the filter won’t turn :( I’m turning it clockwise to open but it doesn’t budge.

Cost of vacuum at home depot was $49 and battery going to run close $50 $85. Only thing it has going for it is convenience. Score it 3 out of 5.

Got this as a free tool from Home Depot

Looks like same as Black and decker makes nose but not allot of suction. Not good.

That 2AH battery life is horrible. I would upgrade to the bigger battery.

Not sure if this thing works at all. Your car was gross and you kept using it when it was full. Doesn’t look like great suction, will watch a few more to decide before I buy.

30 $ at home Depot. Just keep it in the car when I clean my car

2:28 im out value my time too much to clean the cleaner

you need to blow and suck at the nozzle !

That dirty is not for this vacuim.😢😮

Mehh

not strong enough. sad.

Wow it sucks

Then why did you buy in the end if u don't use for both it makes no since then
