RYOBIRHV18-0 Battery Vacuum Cleaner 18V 1100lt/min 60ml 26 IOW (Body Only)

I bought the tool only, because I had an extension tube and a battery already.However, I've been using a different hand held vacuum until now. I have health issues, chronic pain and different types of arthritis. I can't step over a vac cord all the time and I can't push a full size vacuum around. The previous hand held vacuum i had was a little heavy, but it was better than other options.This vacuum is awesome! It's lighter weight, and the suction is even better.With the previous vacuum, I had two different batteries. The one that had more power was heavier so I had to deal.Not wirh this. It's significantly higher power and still lighter weight than the other one.The filter system is way better and easier to deal with than the "other" brand, it's part of the reason I went looking for a new vac.Also, aside from my needs of the design, we have to vacuum up debris, dog hair, sawdust, and various other things. This thing gets it all. Emptying it more often. Is well worth the effort. 10/10 🌟

I was looking for a good portable vacuum. My previous one just did not have the power I wanted. This one works well. My only “complaint” is the accessory assortment was not good so I bought a kit to go with it. It expands it’s versatility greatly.

Like the fact that I can use my 18v ryobi batteries. This vac has good suction and works well.

It has good suction and it’s very convenient to carry, being cordless. The opening for suction is very small; I can see that it will be necessary to buy some attachments.I bought this because I enjoy eating peanuts in the living room while watching TV. That always leaves a little mess and this vacuum is perfect for cleanup.But what I really dislike is the new style of vacuums having a clear view into the peanut shells, dirt, and dust swirling around as I vacuum. Gross! I plan to spray paint the clear plastic cover so I don’t have to see all that detritus.

I have a old one that the switch broke.The new one has an improved switch and seems to have more power.My old one was about ten years old,hope this one does as well.Great little vac.

Lots of power works good get a big battery for it not the little one

I own a lot of ryobi tools and love them, so I looked forward to getting this vacuum. I am very disappointed in it. The design is bad.First of all, it needs cleaning a LOT - even when using it for very small jobs. The filter gets clogged very easily.Second, cleaning it is terrible. Why? When you take it apart to clean the filter and empty it, it doesn’t turn back on easily again!The way it goes together means that it doesn’t fit tightly when you re-attach the parts after cleaning the filter and/or emptying it. If it isn’t just right, it won’t turn on. Nothing broke off of any part, it’s just a poor design.Getting it “just right” often takes a while.We taped it back together to hold it in the right place in order to get it to turn on.I don’t like it, but if it didn’t require cleaning the filter so often I might be able to live with it for a while. But putting on tape and then having to take it off, clean it and then tape it again is ridiculous. Especially when I have to do that in order to vacuum up even a little bird seed that my canary kicked out on the floor. This is not OK. Forget using this thing to vacuum out a car.It’s too late to send it back, so any day now, I am just going to take it to a place that does recycling of things like this.Very sad that it’s turned oMaybe there are some of these that don’t have this issue, but I won’t chance getting another one made by Ryobi again.

My husband bought and loved this. He passed away unexpectedly on March 14 2025. 😭💔❤️‍🩹 he would have taken to heaven. I’m grieving hard so I use it everyday!
