I have a Dyson stick from 2013 still going love it. And just picked up on Black Friday a newer version from Costco. Thanks for show casing other options
A few things: I've got both the Ryobi HP Advanced Whisper and a Shark Stratos (different floor head and display, but otherwise the same as the Cordless Pro). If you live in a dusty area, expect to take the Ryobi bit completely apart to clean it often. The Stratos/Cordless Pro's bin doesn't need to be taken apart to be cleaned, just removed from the vac. You're also going to need to clean the filters more often than a vacuum with multiple cyclones, like Dysons or Samsung Jets. Speaking of filters, the Ryobi is not truly HEPA compliant. They have HEPA filters, but the canisters aren't sealed well, so fine dust escapes and floats around in the air. You're not gaining much real world performance running these machines in their max mode when using the floor heads. Floor head design is the main contributor to that. Running any cordless vac in their medium or auto mode with the floor heads (or even low with fluffy heads on hard floors) brings the best balance of performance and battery life. High modes exist mostly for unpowered tools (crevice tool, brushes, etc), suction powered tools (if available, usually not), clearing out massive piles of debris, and most importantly: advertising. The Ryobi HP Advanced is also the same vacuum as the Hoover Emerge lineup, which starts at $120 cheaper in their kit forms, or for the same $380 comes with a second battery, a better brush/crevice combo tool, and a powered extension hose (something I haven't seen offered as even an optional accessory elsewhere). The only reason to choose a Ryobi is just for the battery compatibility.
I have the Ryobi Pet Vac and I love it. Got a killer deal during Ryobi Days. Got two 4ah HP batteries, a 2ah HP battery for $200 and got the vacuum for free. So I saved $200 since two 4ah batteries are $199 and the vacuum is $199.
Coming from a Dyson that it's expensive because it's just brand I have the shark now at a fraction of the price and I'm very happy and satisfied with it. Way better then the over priced Dyson. Good thing I had warranty on it threw best buy , after almost 2 years took it back got my money back and bought wireless mics for my wife for her TH-cam crafting channel , got the vacuum can't beat it.
You have no idea how helpful this video was. My wife and I were torn on what stick vacuum to get our old took a dooky on us. We are gonna go with the shark especially with them being on sale 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Double check that link, someone told me that is for the refurbished model… still worth it though. For the price I think the shark was the best value of them all!
I have the same Shark without the folding shaft and I love how well it works. I use it really just for hard floor purposes and use my Shark upright for deeper cleans and carpets
Great video. These types of tests can never be perfect but can definitely show LARGE differences. I noticed with the Dyson and Shark, your initial passes were quite fast. Shark did great though. With the first ryobi, your first passes were REALLY slow. Had you went that slow with the shark, two passes is all you would have needed to pick it all up. Speed in vacuuming has a lot to do with how much it picks up per pass. Again, only so much you can do with these types of tests. Just wanted everyone to know it’s as equal as you can manually make it but it’s not 100% equal. Also, that fake doll hair isn’t like regular hair. Can’t really compare the two. Those rollers are designed for how real hair acts. But the outcome was which machine can pick up varying things. The Dyson underperformed
Great test - Thanks! The hair portion of the test was silly in that the “hair feature” on a vacuum is meant to pickup 2 inch long dog hair, not 15 inch doll hair. Shorter hair would not tie itself around the roller. Having said that I really appreciate all the other aspects of the test. I think I would go with your recommendation, because I too have a bunch of Ryobi batteries. For cleaning my car, I recently purchased a Ryobi canister vacuum, and it works better than I expected. Could be a bit better suction, but does a decent job and runs on Ryobi batteries. I have owned a bunch of Dyson products over the years, and I have to say I think they are highly over-rated. Great styling, but not the best quality. Again- great test!
Dyson makes 2 roller types, the one you tested is meant for plush carpet while the soft roller head like on the shark is meant for hard floors and very low pile carpet like you have. I have owned sharks in the past but both died after 1.5 years. I have had a Dyson v6 stick still going strong after 11 years and the v10 as well, 4 years old and hasn’t had a single problem. Both sharks I owned blew up weeks after the warranty expired. They always worked well but Dyson is better quality imo. Both platforms however use their own attachment types but Dyson has aftermarket adapters so you can use standard shop vac attachments.
The problem is that the Dyson he purchased does not come with the soft roller head. Realistically, the roller head that came with it should be enough to get the job done. The soft roller head is $129 extra.
True enough, Dyson are expensive. I was just pointing out why it didn’t perform as well as a Dyson v10 owner. I do have both heads though and the soft roller is designed for very short nap carpet or hard surfaces while the bristled head is meant for carpet medium/high.
Thanks for the test. I just moved my 7 year old Dyson to the garage and bought the Ryobi battery adapter. Bought a new one for the house. Works great in the car, picks up the wife's hair from the bathroom tile, dog hair from the sofa, powder off the carpet, crumbs and grass on the hardwood.. I recommend it to everyone. (Me, 7 years ago: "$300 dust buster? Are your f'ing crazy?" Reality: It is worth the money.)
I have the Ryobi HP pet , I like it well enough. The selling point for me is that I own a LOT of Ryobi tools with a lot of battery packs, which means I can keep using it instead of having to wait for a battery to charge. I just can't see using a machine in a professional setting and having to stop working to wait for a single battery to charge.
I got the cheaper Ryobi, I picked it as one of my free tools during Ryobi days and was impressed with the power it has. I mainly picked it to replace an old stick vac that was dying. For 199 for the vac and 2 4ah and 1 2ah battery I am happy with it. Dyson is just always overpriced and over hyped
Oddly, those in the vacuum community refer to Dyson as "die-soon" and for good reason, overpriced for flimsy plastic and a cheap motor. Especially the corded models it made.
The problem I had with the older Shark Pet Plus is the opening from the motorized brush before the tube is small. That kept clogging and i have to stop vacuuming - reach in there and pull out whatever is causing the blockage. It has gotten blocked by dried leaves, tiny pieces of paper, sisal from my cats’ scratching post, …. The pieces don’t even have to be that big. So my question is …. I noticed on the Shark you can still access the suction hole behind the brushes. Is that because it still has a problem getting clogged up. I can’t seem to vacuum my craft room or the whole house without having to clean out at least one blockage. I have also had the same experience with the pet hair option. Other than making it easier to dig out it sure doesn’t help much. I have very long hair myself so I have that plus 2 long haired fluffy cats.
The thing about the dyson is, you should never be sucking up that much hair in my opinion. That's always going to clog up a vacuum, I would never do that. The dyson in my experience, is the most expensive, because they just nail the ergonomics better than anyone else. The vacuum is lighter, and easier to maneuver than the rest. Also because of the lighter weight, and handle design, it works really well with the attachment pieces, which is how my stick vac spends 50% of its time.
i'd be worried using the Ryobi units on thick to medium pile carpets with dog hair that the rollers would get clogged real early and lose their ability to suck up more hair after.
Need a follow up video bro. Run the clean up test again without the doll hair. Like nobody in their right minds would try to vacuum that with a roller on a day to day basis. I would of liked to see pet hair, like from a pug or pit bull.
Love my dyson v10 animal the only issues are no quikcly replaceable battery but aftermarket are cheaper than oem. Was hoping for an adapter to use power tool batteries none for my gen and when there is a lot of fine dust such as drywall sanding it can colog the blockage sensor and will show the light but will still work.Not difficult to dissemble and clean but takes some time.
V10? Isn't that a very old unit? I think we have v10 or v11 at home that was purchased many years ago Also "hair" systems specify the limitation on the length
Your representation for vacuum-compatible soils isn't at all representative of what a vacuum will pick up. Most of the time it's some hair, sand, finer grit, dead skin cells and dust mites. Every one of these can be easily found with the exception of the mites or cells. To get all of these, you can empty another vacuum or cut open the bag and spread it thinly over a carpet or surface. When you use a vacuum, you usually start, like mowing your lawn by picking up large debris that can clog a vacuum (unless you are using a wet and dry vac with the 2.5" hose) and then you vacuum with the recommended attachments (vacman gainer didn't get this as switching out a power nozzle for a hard floor brush is pretty easy on a modern Rainbow (E2 Black and SRX) and actually most vacuums, even if he claims that people use the power nozzle on hard floors) Power nozzle for carpets and mats and a standard horsehair floor and wall brush for hard surfaces. Of course, I like to thoroughly vacuum a house from the ceiling to the floor, as eventually any disturbed dust on the walls and ceiling eventually make their way to the floor. Most of the time though I just vacuum the floor. In the middle you get out your trusty horsehair dusting brush and dust furniture, lamps, electronics etc. For soft furnishings, you can use a dusting brush or an upholstery brush. You can even use the mini power nozzle (if your vacuum has one) on said furnishings, if they are regular upholstery and not leather as well as on stairs.
@@imjoshv It's a small check valve in the unit to keep the dust from going back down the intake and wands. Similar to what is seen on a sump pump or well water pump. Most handheld vacuums have some variation of one, even going back to the first Dust Busters.
Cool one Josh! I have a shark right now and seems to work well with my OCD and a dog who sheds a lot. I'd be interested in your take on the Carbon Collective line of products from the UK.
Sorry, but that test is way too unrealistic. I gotta disagree with your top pick. The Shark did way better. Plus, you can get it with the auto-clean and charging station, which is a total game-changer.
The shark did fantastic! I agree with your points and it is cheaper than the ryobi I chose for first. I chose the ryobi mostly because it has the ability to swap batteries so easily and it’s the quietest… for value though considering price the shark is probably the winner for that!
@imjoshv I believe you can get an extra battery too for the Shark. But I guess in your line of work, it makes more sense to get the Ryobi because of the cross-product battery compatibility.
Yeah I agree 100%. I have a wife and two daughters at home so the longer hair is my main concern. Doll hair isn’t the same as real hair, but it was the closest thing I could think of

Great video Josh love me some Ryobi which would be my choice
Yeah when you are already part of their battery system it makes that an easy choice! I like so many of the ryobi tools!

Can you do a comparison between car brushes, sponges, and wash mitts? Do the brushes/sponges actually cause damage, or is it a myth?
I have the Dyson Love it!!
This was actually very thorough. Glad you covered free standing ability. Not being able to stand is a deal breaker

Doesn't Makita still make one? Mines 15 years old, it's rather basic but it still sucks!
Just yes
Thanks!

Shark cleaned the best... picks up everything in fewer passes. It's faster and leaves almost nothing behind.
