Customers appreciate the vacuum cleaner’s battery life, cordless design, and functionality. They find it easy to use and portable with good battery life. Many appreciate the cordless convenience without an electrical cord to drag around. However, opinions differ on suction power.
Great Shop Vac
I bought this because I put turf down in my backyard. I love that it is battery operated so it is easy to move about all over the yard vacuuming up all the leaves etc. No electrical cord to drag around. The suction is really good and keeps my yard looking great.

Really like it so far
This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves it. It works great so far. It being cordless is great. We already had the 40v battery that it requires. I can see that if we didn’t it would have been pricey

Cordless wet/dry vac with good suction (on high)
Title pretty much says all the important stuff.I wanted this thing for a long time, and it’s everything I wanted it to be.A little weak on low but high is very powerful. Cordless is a game changer. My car parking pad is far enough from the house that it’s really a pain to get an extension cord all the way out there.Decent use time with a 4Ah battery, about 12-15 minutes on high and I’m guessing probably about 40 minutes on low. That’s long enough that it hasn’t died on me before I am finished using it so far, but the battery was definitely on the last tick when I put it back on the charger.I have a 6Ah battery on the way too, and I expect it should gain about 30% more time with the bigger battery. 20 minutes on high should be plenty for most household jobs, and combined with the 4Ah and 2.6Ah batteries I already own I feel like I have plenty of power. Really happy with the 40v system from Ryobi in general.Everything that comes with it has a place to live on the vacuum except for the wet filter so hopefully you won’t lose parts. I haven’t quite figured out the best hose wrapping technique yet, but clearly they designed it in a specific way and I appreciate that it’s all one big package.To sum up, the low setting is kind of weak, I’m not really sure what I’d use it for, but the high setting is very powerful and satisfying to use, for as long as your 40v battery collection will last. It looks to be a bit more than 3x Ah=minutes on high, and about 10x Ah on low.

Seems functional but moderate suction
The obvious plus is that it’s cordless. Biut the suction is moderate with a 40 v 6 Ah battery use for my lawnmower.

Absolutely superb
This is a dream product. No cords to get fouled. Suction on high is absolutely excellent, comparable to wired shop VAC. Batteries last a good 20 minutes, which is fine. I have extra batteries if I ever need them. Very very happy.

Great for small jobs
Love this shop vac and don’t have to worry about dragging a cord around. Works well for regular clean ups but definitely doesn’t have the suction of electric (which you have to expect). You’ll get about an 45 minutes on high suction with a 6ah battery. Love Ryobi products and highly recommend this vac for small everyday use.
