We bought one of the Advanced a couple of weeks ago to replace our very old, malfunctioning Dyson V-8. The pros: works well on our hardwood floors and area rugs, head light is helpful, mostly OK attachments, stands on its own, no trigger fatigue. The cons: it's heavy, the battery does not last long enough to finish our small (1,400 sq ft) house, the dusting brush already broke. We will get another battery and glue the attachment back together. The Ryobi is fine, but really loved our Dyson so eventually we'll end up purchasing another.
Hyper Green, Vibrant Green, Lime Green, I'll even give you Yellow Green, but it has too much green in it to be called yellow alone. Thanks for the deep dive, it looks like the "not really a stick" configuration is the better choice if it's only being used for floors - more suction/better performance on carpets and cheaper!
@@vacuumnerds Ever since they stopped using blue around 2 decades ago, Ryobi has only ever used a combination of Neon Green and either grey or black. They've never used yellow.
We have the older Ryobi One + HP Brushless vacuum that we bought over a year ago, and I use it regularly on both carpet and hardwood floors, we have 4 kids and a dog. First issue-- we lost the gasket at the bottom of the tank dumping the tank into the trash, within the first 90 days. This is a common issue, replacements are being sold at exorbitant prices on eBay by one seller who knows this, out of stock on Ryobi. We returned the whole vacuum and got a new one thinking we would just be careful now. Haven't lost the gasket, but this vacuum clogs alllll the time. I am always cleaning out a pipe, or a bend in the hose, or the brush head. I vacuum normal things like dirt, dust, and occasional small food pieces, nothing my old traditional vacuum couldn't handle. The whole unit is supposed to stand upright (does not come with a wall mount), but it has since fallen over and that small locking piece has broken. I wish I had stayed away from Ryobi vacuums, I love their other power tools though.
Just picked up the Advanced yesterday, tool only, on sale for $239 Disappointed in the amount of suction from the motor (using 6Ah High Performance batteries). Less than my very old, hand-held Black and Decker hand vacuum, on MEDIUM at least. I have a corded Shark Vertex. The dual roller system is common to both Shark and Ryobi. However, one major difference is that Shark has a comb, which cleans the front roller of fibers. Ryobi has a very soft brush rubbing on the roller. Consequently, that front roller gets hair and fluff wrapped around it almost immediately during use. Also, on the back pull, fluff balls get deposited back on the carpet from that roller and you have to keep going over them to finally clean them up. Both need significant cleaning after every use as they are both heavily wrapped with dog hair. We have 2 Mini Aussies. The ability to remove both rollers is key. Shark only allows the front roller to be removed. The Shark brush roller never gets hair-wrapped though but it does wear out after a couple/three years, and you have to buy the whole $100 nozzle assembly. The bulk of the weight is at your hand. So, the brush head is light on the surface, an issue with some surface transitions, and your arm does get tired holding it. That said, this works best on hard floors, and well on low pile carpeting, for quick cleanups or daily cleaning, where there isn't much dirt and debris. The dust cup fills up quickly with dog hair! It doesn't replace your much more powerful corded vacuum, especially on carpets. A standard 4Ah battery lasts long enough on Medium to do the upstairs, very low pile carpeting in an 1800 sq ft home. High sucks battery juice like crazy and isn't practical IMHO!
The standard charger takes almost 3 hours to charge the 6Ah High Performance battery. You might need at least two on hand. Fast charge chargers are available but slow charging is always better for a long battery life. I see no performance improvement with High Performance batteries versus standard, on MEDIUM speed at least. I think the benefit comes into play when the motor is under a high load. It''ll keep rpm. HIGH is just not practical with so short a battery life. Other YT reviewers show that the total time to discharge is similar with both, perhaps a few seconds faster with the HP battery.
Just did a torture test this morning. With a fully-charged 6Ah HP battery, I vacuumed the whole 1800 sq ft house in one go, including two sets of 16-step, carpeted stairs using the nifty powered tool (that cordless configuration works really well there). I managed to finish on MEDIUM with a couple minutes to spare on the battery, which flashed red for several minutes before finally cutting out. i did try HIGH for about 30 seconds but MEDIUM was good enough. The container was COMPLETELY full and compacted to the top with hair and fur, some dust! The front roller was no longer yellow but fully wrapped in gray hair. I had vacuumed upstairs last night, where it is all low-pile carpet. So, that area resulted in only a 1/4 full container, if that. Most came from the stairs, which I'd not touched. I had not tackled downstairs in the two large rooms with rugs and carpets but had cleaned the hardwood flooring. The carpets had about a week's worth of dog debris! Hence the very full container at the end. The vacuum managed to get the carpet looking visually clean and guest-ready, though clearly there was much still left in the medium-thick pile. I can see this stick vacuum being used for daily cleanup, with a deep-clean weekly with the corded Shark Vertex. For light cleaning, it actually works well. And with just one 6Ah battery, I can use this in a very practical manner. It's a little irritating, and messy, to have to clean the rollers every time. However, the included hook and blade tool is really useful and easy to use. It's a shame they didn't thin it down to be the 'coin' that can release the powered tool brush via it's slot. It's just a little too thick and I have to actually go find a coin!! The battery was warm to the touch at the end, not hot, but warm enough to stop the charger from charging for about 3 minutes until the battery cooled down. Now that I'm used to the design and performance, this isn't a bad little stick vacuum. It's relatively quiet, lasts long enough to do the whole house and works as a light cleaning tool. Shame about the hair wrapping on the front roller though. If that was fixed, it'd be awesome!
As soon as he brought out the Dyson 'to make sure the carpet was clean between tests', I lost interest. If you need a vacuum to clean up after a vacuum, then I'll get the better performing one and save up if i need to.
I owned dyson 10 and 11. Both vacuums had issues with batteries dieing one year later. The fact that I can use multiple batteries on ryobi is enough to purchase.
I like the stick vaccum handle design, have a eureka innova that has similar design. Debating about getting another cordless stick vaccum or cordless upright vaccum. Hoover and ryobi the ones i been looking at since been using there products for years. Can you pit the hoover and ryobi stick and upright crodless vacuums against each other?
The Hoover OnePWR models are the same as the Ryobi, but have different batteries. You might be able to find them cheaper on Amazon as well. This is the ONEPWR Evolve on Amazon geni.us/knTT We did a quick review of it here th-cam.com/video/kU9duGgefx8/w-d-xo.html
I have a Kirby that my wife insisted we buy. I bullied the salesman into selling it to my for half of list price (salespeople generally hate me). It's still overpriced. It works fine. Just as well as all the others that cost half as much as we paid for the Kirby.
Ryobi green is most accurately described as Chartreuse. There is a Charteruse Green, a Chartreuse Yellow, and a bunch of variations in there. "Ryobi Green" is more accurtately "Ryobi Chartruese"
The Dyson is much better overall, and of course, a lot more money. The Dyson has a sealed canister, and better suction. It's step up in price and performance.
@vacuumnerds i own the dyson, but wondered if it was objectively better. The suction pressure numbers for both interest me - do you have comparison numbers?
qed is latin. Latin is pretty close to english. Take the last word demonstrandum. we got the english word demonstrated from it. erat in one of the more simpler tenses is est leading to the english is or german ist, in this past tense well not much similarity. and if you speak out quod aloud you hear what. so basically with no idea of latin an english speaker can translate it - greek is too freaky to make sense of liked the test - but just the battery system is such a plus, jusifying a purchase
I tried watched and gave up on 5 of your videos! The bouncing back and forth on the models is confusing. Review one, review the next and do results at the end. I’m in the US.

Check out shark, duo, corded.
You didn't say anything about the HP being wet/dry, I was hoping to see a demo of how it works as a mop.

Thanks for the deep dive, it looks like the "not really a stick" configuration is the better choice if it's only being used for floors - more suction/better performance on carpets and cheaper!
Too much blue in that color perhaps? I think they used to be more yellow. Yes, the High Capacity is a better buy if you're just doing carpets.
@@vacuumnerds Ever since they stopped using blue around 2 decades ago, Ryobi has only ever used a combination of Neon Green and either grey or black. They've never used yellow.
The fact I purchase a stick vacuum and these new one comes out a couple months later just makes me wish I waited
Happens! Tech moves forward every year. There's no perfect time to purchase anything!
ikr, who keeps up with vacuum releases.
I wonder what runtime is on the 4AH Battery that comes with it. No one talks about it
I didn’t test it specifically, but I should be around 35 minutes in low power mode. I ran through the batteries a few times while shooting.

man i love your personality and video quality. i cant believe it but im gonna have to watch more of your videos. with zero interest in other vacuums b
Welcome aboard!

Different price points for different people. Not everyone can spend $600+. Plus, I wanted to make sure the testing is fair.
I owned dyson 10 and 11. Both vacuums had issues with batteries dieing one year later. The fact that I can use multiple batteries on ryobi is enough to purchase.
Costco has/had a Dyson version earlier in the year that was $800 and $650 CAD when on sale. The display is the same as the V11.
good price
What is the turn radius?
Can you use the handle/motor directly on the roller part without the shaft?
On the Advanced yes. Not on the High Capacity.
@@vacuumnerds awesome thanks

Have you tested anything against the kirby?
No. Kirby vacuums are overpriced. If you’d like to send me one for review, I’ll gladly do it. No one should spend $2600 on an upright vacuum
@vacuumnerds just wondering how they compare. I know my grandmother had one for over 40 years.
I have a Kirby that my wife insisted we buy. I bullied the salesman into selling it to my for half of list price (salespeople generally hate me). It's still overpriced.
It works fine. Just as well as all the others that cost half as much as we paid for the Kirby.
@@johnburroughs8532 They have been around since forever, but I strongly advise anyone against spending that much on any single vacuum.
Ryobi green is most accurately described as Chartreuse. There is a Charteruse Green, a Chartreuse Yellow, and a bunch of variations in there. "Ryobi Green" is more accurtately "Ryobi Chartruese"
Now we know!
Nice. Informative. Funny. I do wish you have included model numbers. Thx.
The models and links are in the description if you like
How does this compare to a dyson v11 absolute?

Did you frame interpolate this footage as there's some weird frame issues going on?
Sometimes TH-cam does weird things. Just relaunch the app or reload the page. This video was shot and edited the same way as all the others here.

Him : like my cats brain.me: ooohhhhhhhhh that's crazy.2:28
I think the cats don't have enough brain cells between them to figure out this vacuum thing
I tried watched and gave up on 5 of your videos! The bouncing back and forth on the models is confusing. Review one, review the next and do results at the end. I’m in the US.
I’ll try to make it more clear next time. Appreciate the feedback!
the car comparison..that is more orange than yellow...maybe just me I dunno.
I hate bagless vacuums. Show me which is harder to empty and clean.
There are plenty of bagged vacuums, but not many cordless ones. Bagless are what manufacturers are producing right now.
Acid green I think crayola said so.
why does the advanced have a foggy canister
Because I've filmed several videos with it before this one. You've only got a clear canister until you start using it.
Lime-Green
your 2 cat is very pretty
They're pretty funny too. Very rowdy!
your car is orange no matter what toyota says the they would probably say those vacs ore pink
😂😂😂
Ironically, "pink" originally referred to a greenish yellow color lol.
Sir, your car was orange.
Hmmm 🤣
You're blind
Ryobi is definitely yellow, pay no attention to my red-green colorblindness.
Ha!
It Lookslike Ryobi Is Lemonlime Green. Morelike Chartoose
Do a review on those minivan tires on your Supra. Lolll what the hell is that!!?
Minivan tires? What are you talking about?
Chartreuse...
Oh yes!
Use my dyson
Go figure 😮
I love my Dysons. Different price range.
