I'm considering getting a Ryobi stick vac. Was reading reviews from Bunnings and everyone has been complaining about the weight. After seeing a mum holding a baby in the other arm at the same time, I think those people need to suck it up (no pun intended). I think you've made my decision for me.

You’ve convinced me. This model is $200 with 3 high capacity batteries as part of Home Depot’s summer sale so this pushed me over the edge.

This was one of those rare, actually helpful videos, as I'm trying to decide on a stick vac.

The Home Depot $200 deal is back on this model with two 4 amp and 1one 2 amp battery and charger. Just ordered one because of this excellent real world review. I'm subscribing. Edit: Home Depot ran out of this package and I didn’t get one. I got the Advanced Model and I’m liking it so far.

Thank you for the great review! I was in the market for a new brushless drill and the home Depot battery kit plus this vacuum sweetened the pot. It arrives next week. I need something for sawdust and wood shavings in my shop, and my wife needed something for kitty litter. It seems like it'll work well. Appreciate it, and best wishes for your family.

I enjoyed that you used the vacuum in a real everyday setting. No staged particles, real-life stuff, and you whipped that vacuum around like any other person who uses a vacuum, not the unrealistic, super slow way. Great review. I've become a Ryobi guy with almost all my tools. I'm sold. Just ordered the one with the dual head

Nice full length review we love ours but bc of your video we now know how to take it apart to fully clean it, thanks and will keep watching for more Ryobi videos, we love the Ryobi HP Brushless gear

I was planning to get this cause i have ryobi products at house and spare batteries around house. Though surprised when got eureka one through the mail from parents. I only wanted one cause i wanted to get under bed and furniture and easier to clean out car. I still may get it at later date but cant beat a free vacuum ^^ Great review

Thank you! I've been searching for a cordless vacuum and this review was fantastic! Plus, we're already a Ryobi house. Can't wait for it to arrive!

There's a terrific Ryobi days sell on this product. 199 includes a 4-hour amp hour, 6 amp hour and a 2 amp hour battery charger and vacuum

I just bought one ordered online this video makes me feel happy for purchasing it 😊

Great review, i have just bought one with the dual heads. I did the whole of our 3 bedroom bungalow. I did have to empty it twice. It was extremely easy to use compared to my old heavy upright vac. So far i have been very pleased with it 😊

I just ordered one with a Christmas gift certificate I got, it will arrive Saturday on my Birthday... Cant wait to try it :) It doesnt take much to excite you when you are gonna be 71. Lol

Great review with real world things, not staged! Tha K you, this was really helpful 😊

Best real world vacuum product review yet! I’ve been reviewing many stick vacs. I started with this Ryobi and then went thru Tinecos and Dysons. Your review has convinced me that the Ryobi is the one because of price, battery versatility, stand up feature, suction, and dust bin capacity. I also loved that the baby & dog were so chill during vacuuming.

At 13:09 you open the cap of the canister to empty it - WARNING - Watch out for that the rubber gasket on the lid falling into the garbage causing it to LOSE all suction! Many people are complaining of lost suction and that is the cause - a missing gasket that fell out. They are not sold separately. We lost ours and I'll be filling that gap with silicone and smoothing it flat just like the original. Only after your makeshift gasket dries close it up and test.

I just recently purchased This and I was pleasantly surprised and so much cheaper than a Dyson and great on picking up pet hair , just use the lower speed on fluffy rugs

I like the handle of the Ryobi. All others have an awkward, unnatural way to hold it. Great review!

Enjoyed the review. The baby sock convinced me.

Thank you guys

I'm definitely getting one! I'm going to wait for the dual brush one to be available. The second roller is soft and fluffy for hardwood floors because the bristles on the harder bristle brushes aren't as good on some real wood floor finishes. I have the first gen dual brush wired vacuum. It's like 7 years old. That thing is heavy AND pulling a cord around is a pain. Oh and not having a plug in my old house in some places is a headache having to go to the next area to plug it in to get the same room!

7 ! Congratulations ! KAWA bunga !

Good job guys. I think I may get one.

I love it very good on rugs to and also pretty . It is good it comes with 1 battery a charger and suction tips .

Great video thank you very much

You two are adorbs!

Love your subscribe animation!

Is nice having a lot of battery power vacuum cleaner.

I live in CT. Bought one of these today at Home Depot it said tool only. I paid $199. And there is a battery in the box! Charger too

Really good info Thanks

hahahaha that dog is so chill. my cat would be on top of the fridge the minute I turned that machine on!!

seven kids and two dogs?? I'm sold!

I own this vacuum, and have a few observations. It would be nice if you could empty the entire contents of the Dustbin by just dropping the door open. But too much stuff gets stuck between the outer body and the inner portion, necessitating the complete disassembly. It really shouldn't be like that. Second, you point out that the handle is on the back of the unit instead of the top. I find this a poor design. I find that in normal use, my hand in fact does want to be positioned more towards the top, as opposed to the back, and the power button is situated too close to the pad on my palm, below the base of my thumb, and the very sensitive switch often gets turned off by my palm pressing on the power button while I'm pushing the vacuum around. Lastly, I really do wish that the LED headlight would stay illuminated when turn the beater bar off, and are using just suction. Having an electronic background, I know this would necessitate an additional pair of contacts from top to bottom, and complicate things, not to mention raise the price, but it sure would be nice, because the headlight works very well, and it is sorely missed when you turn the beater bar off.

I have the Hart version of it and love it.

Thank you for the review. As tempting as it is with my current batteries, since I can not find any information regarding if it has a HEPA filter or if it's a sealed system like the Dyson vacuums I would have to pass it for now.

Absolutely loved this video!! I just bought one LMAO 🤣 to put in the wife's hands and turn her to the battery side

Great demo and info. I've been trying to figure out which one is best for our home. We have a combination of area rugs, hardwood floors and other hard surfaces. Would the dual head make the most sense? We have a bunch of the other Ryobi One tools, I assume the batteries that we have will work on this? I see that if you want more run time, you can purchase the 9am battery, but otherwise the typical 18V Lithium that I have on my hand vac, drills, etc would work just fine?

Sold!👍🙄

Wish they made a cordless bagged upright but at least they didn't do a dyson and make it the most overcomplicated garbage ever

Thanks for this review, I am considering buying this, But what about the other attachments? can you switch the power head and attach other ends to to dust a ceiling, or vacuum stairs etc?

The power to suck up a sock was impressive! I also have those same outdoor rugs and it looks like it did well on them as well from the angle.

Rotating the handle to steer the head will occasionally turn the vacuum off. Your hand will roll over the upper corner and accidentally press the power button. Sometimes.

I was wondering, how did it work on bare floor ? Does your light go out when you shut the spinner brush off ?

Great video. I have this stick vac and mostly agreed with your review. 2 cons, I was always shutting it off the way I hold this my thumb is on the handle. Another thing is we have mostly vinyl floors and we were to not to use the beater/brush but when you shut off the beater the headlight doesn't work? Why? Is that a defect or is that the way it works, the manual doesn't address that at all. Does yours do that? BTW Ryobi days had this for free if you bought the 3 battery pkg for $199 😊

Great video, Brent. I've got a question about the brush/beater head, is it removable from the housing? You covered pet hair, but the problem I run into on our corded vacuums is human hair get wrapped around the end of the brush where it spins & every few months I have to pull out the brush head, clean it & I lubricate it at the same time. If you've ever noticed my profile on R.R., my hair is longer than your bride's & being a bit older I shed about as much as a dog, LOL. Thanks

Thank you for the video... I have a question. If you use it on a hardwood floor, will the vacuum cleaner brush keep spinning and scratch the floor?

Can you use the motor/canister directly on the rollers without the shaft/stick?

Does the crevice tool and brush come with the vacuum?

would have been nice if you were able to give some feed back on cleaning the hair off of the power head. but overall good review.

Where do you get the 9 AH battery? I've been trying to find one forever. I've bought several off branded China batteries that claim to be 9 AH, but they actually test out to be 6 AH. They are quite a bit cheaper than the Ryobi 6 AH batteries, so I buy them, but I want at least one actual 9 AH battery. You didn't address this in your video, but does the roller come out to make cleaning hair tangles easier? My older Ryobi stick vac requires me to cut through the hair with a box cutter and then pick it out or do a troublesome disassembly to remove the roller.

The PCL720K which is the "brushed" version of this vacuum I think is selling for $96 + 15 shipping from Direct Tools Outlet right now for a limited time sale until May 7th. Is it basically the same vacuum but less suction power and runtime? Based on the specs, it would have 25 IOW of suction power versus the brushless 75 IOW suction power. Also it would have 45 minutes of runtime compared to 60 minutes for the brushless. But it is less than half the price and includes a 4Ah battery. Think it is still worth it? Are there any other differences I may have missed?

Thank you, that's a real review! Sick of all the bullshit ones that try to look super fancy, happily watch real people use real products.

Did anyone else buy it and if so how is it ? I have 2 Large dogs (Leonbergers) and need an extra vacuum to help pick up hair ect, If so how is it. Thanks for the review

There is another model with dual roller, They go for same price, which one is better?

How would it do on a bare concrete garage floor?

Great post, I'm a big fan of ryobi...fast forward to about 11 minutes into the video and the wife gets into the meat and potatoes. Most of the front end might have been cut. Although thank you for the review

Thanks is this the single roller model?

What vacuum model did you test

Anyone know how to keep it from sucking up the rug? Every time I vacuum my rug, i get the red light and the brush stops.

How about hardwood floors?

Ah yes, the dreaded sock clog lol

I just unboxed mine. When I put in the battery it is so darned heavy! Is this the default for cordless stick vaccuums. I'm tempted to take it back even though I see it has power and a good draw. Instructions say to never leave it standing. it must lie flat or be attached to the wall. That's a drawback and yet you dare to let it stand alone. What is the rule?

Where is the eco button? Which is the regular button? Is it the wavy image below the on-button?

Got one. Its good but not great. Ergonomics suck my wrist gets super sore after a few minutes of use. Its also pretty big and pretty heavy. Awkward in tight spots with the crevice tool.

When a career KZfaqr realises that expensive items they need can be reviewed when it arrives to become tax deductible. 😁

For the May - June "Ryobi Days" promotion, you can now get the vacuum (tool only, Model# PBLSV716B) for FREE with with the purchase of a 3-pack HP battery kit (Model# PSK007) for $199.

Light doesn’t go on when the rollers are not active 😢

R.I.P Sock

My vacuum lost suction

I hate that you have to put a [REAL REVIEW] disclaimer up because of how prevalent stealth sponsored/promoted vids are anymore.

I have 2 kids and they destroy the house lol. I cant imagine 7!!!!

Work for home or office... Any sand in the hard carpet not SsS... All... Not work for me..😢😢😢

this looks real similar to my old Dyson

I got one ready model P717K ..... perfect ! Better Dyson.
