need to come out with Ryobi 40v LED lights

The reason for the 1/2 thread has nothing to do with the thread itself. It’s actually designed offset to put the Inside diameter below the bottom of the bucket. This way it will drain completely. If you used shop vac before they never drain completely because the inside of the cap is above the bottom of the tank. PS I have over $9500 worth of ryobi tools and those casters is an insult to ryobi quality. I love the 18v shop vac. Don’t know if I’ll get that one just because those casters won’t hold 80 pounds of water. (Water is 8lbs per gallon for those wondering how I came up with 80 lbs.) love the videos man keep it up.

Got this bad boy for Christmas, I am excited to try it out.

Gonna get one but I will be waiting for the Father’s Day deals. With fuel & heating costs skyrocketing, I appreciate a nice new tool that’s within the battery platform I already have.

A random Google search to see if Ryobi had made it to the 40 volt world with the Shop-Vac. Next, click, home Depot and will have it on St. Patty's Day 🙌 thanks for the vid

Hopefully they start coming out with other tools like a table saw and a rep saw. Great video! 👍

I like it. I've been wanting a bigger vaccum from ryobi

Pretty Nice Vacuum, Might get it myself

The half thread is likely due to the injection mold tooling design for the body. To keep the mold simple the threads are on the bottom mold plate and the body can be released upwards from it.

you can get the hepa filter for this at Lowe's. It's a Project Source brand.

I think I'll be getting one soon. On another note, I am extremely adamant when it comes to my tools. My best advice I am willing to share is that with my shop VAC, I have taken a pool filter sock and placed it over the VAC filter, also I inserted a filter bag and lastly I connected a defuser filter on the blowout side of the VAC. Trust me! This will prolong the life of the filters and the Shop VAC.

Nice!

Just got this on the ultimate discount from Home Depot (possibly online glitch) for 75% off for $50 clearance sale. Debating on keeping or flipping.

I baught an open box tool only on eBay $100. I had the battery’s from my lawn mower so it all worked out

I need that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just ordered one, and the reason is (I suspect) the same reason a lot of people are interested in these. My garage power struggles with running high-draw power tools (table saw, planer, router, etc.) and a plug-in shop vac at the same time. After running for a bit, or when the tool is stressed I throw breakers. This has become particularly problematic since I started running laser engraver and 3D printer projects that are disrupted and sometimes ruined by losing power. In the end, I stopped using the shop vac and my shop is a dusty mess. This is my solution, together with a cyclonic separator cart I will build to go with it.

Great review Brent. What's your thoughts on the push tabs holding the power head over the traditional latches? Does seem as easy to use compared to the latches. Too bad about the cheap casters...the cheap ones are always the first things to break.

How many battery lights left on battery after all the vacuuming? And will a 6 ah high performance battery fit it?

Great video , how s the battery life on this vaccum ? On a 6ah battery

Will it run off of a cord as well or battery only?

They need to come out with big fan Ryobi 40v

It's because of the plastic injection mold that made the container. If they put the threads all the way around, they couldn't get it out of the mold couldn't get it out of the mold.

Oh looks like you didn't install the filter for wet when you vac from the 10 gallon water 9:38

Can you use filter bag from other brand in this vac?

They don’t have a foam filter for picking up water?

can you use rigid filters?

Strangely resembles a dewalt🤔

Price?

The fact that the hose isn't 2¼" is disappointing.

I wasn’t impressed with reviews my favorite is the ridgid 9 gallon 18 volt nxt model with 2 9ah octane batteries it runs over 1 hour so pass on this plus the ridgid ones are $96 dollars as of my comment
