@@JoeSmoeDoeLow I legitimately like it. It’s no Dyson and I don’t think it could handle large amounts of dog hair, but for normal cleaning in an apartment or house? Fantastic and being able to use the batteries you already have is a massive bonus.
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
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.
Excellent job of demonstrating and explaining the vacuum's use. Fortuitously sucking the sock all the way through was quite impressive. Much more helpful overall than others I watched. Thanks.
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.
...just did the same today...waiting on delivery in two days but was impressed by the specs..bought a similar corded one a years ago, but it's a pain to use with the cord...
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.
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.
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 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 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
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
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
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.
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 😊
For those woundering what the run time is with the 4AH battery..mine only lasted 16 mins on high power 7 mins with 2.5AH i was hoping it would last a lot longer that that since it claimed 60mins run time with the 4AH
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!
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.
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?
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 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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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
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.
@@livefreeandtoolon oh no I wasn’t accusing you of anything. Fully aware this is a real review and I commend you for it, I plan on buying the vacuum based on your impressions. It was a swipe at the general state of TH-cam/TikTok and the nature of review videos anymore. I reworded the comment to make it clear.
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.
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.
What are you thoughts on it?

I totally agree, I wish it was opposite. Meaning when you turn the beater on the light shuts off
I like the handle of the Ryobi. All others have an awkward, unnatural way to hold it. Great review!
I just bought one ordered online this video makes me feel happy for purchasing it 😊
Thanks guys 👍
Seems like a good blend of price and performance
hahahaha that dog is so chill.
my cat would be on top of the fridge the minute I turned that machine on!!
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
Is nice having a lot of battery power vacuum cleaner.
I was wondering, how did it work on bare floor ? Does your light go out when you shut the spinner brush off ?

7 ! Congratulations ! KAWA bunga !
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.
Love your subscribe animation!
Great review with real world things, not staged! Tha K you, this was really helpful 😊
For those woundering what the run time is with the 4AH battery..mine only lasted 16 mins on high power 7 mins with 2.5AH i was hoping it would last a lot longer that that since it claimed 60mins run time with the 4AH
Wish they made a cordless bagged upright but at least they didn't do a dyson and make it the most overcomplicated garbage ever
Why would you want bagged? Do you mean that US large ass trashbag-sized thing, or "regular vacuum bag"?
I'm definitely getting one! I'm going to wait for the dual brush one to be available.

Enjoyed the review. The baby sock convinced me.
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 love it very good on rugs to and also pretty . It is good it comes with 1 battery a charger and suction tips .
Love the pup❤
Good job guys. I think I may get one.
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?

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?
Can you use the motor/canister directly on the rollers without the shaft/stick?
There is another model with dual roller, They go for same price, which one is better?

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.
Absolutely loved this video!! I just bought one LMAO 🤣 to put in the wife's hands and turn her to the battery side
You two are adorbs!
What a useless comment on this review
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?
It spins but doesn't scratch the floor
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
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.

No, the brushed version is not the same at all
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.
How would it do on a bare concrete garage floor?
Really good info Thanks
Where is the eco button? Which is the regular button? Is it the wavy image below the on-button?
That's the beater brush button
Does the crevice tool and brush come with the vacuum?
I have the Hart version of it and love it.
I want that one but all my batteries are Ryobi.
How about hardwood floors?
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?
Single, check my channel for the double
Light doesn’t go on when the rollers are not active 😢
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.
Sold!👍🙄
