Ryobi ONE+ R18HV-0 (5133003834)

Ergonomics and Productivity

Usually, the buyer is faced with a dilemma - to use a compact, but not too powerful hand-held vacuum cleaner, which, along with its size, also reduces power, or an overall classic device that does its job perfectly, but is not so convenient. And Ryobi's product can solve this problem, as it represents a kind of middle ground between these two options. With all its appearance, the vacuum cleaner shows that it is a more professional device with efficient work and consistently high results. The manufacturer added a rubberized handle for a more comfortable grip, but the dimensions are not so compact: the model weighs 1.4 kg and is felt in the hand, especially with prolonged use. If you clean at home or at the workplace, this is unlikely to be a problem, but in the car, the vacuum cleaner is somewhat clumsy.

But the emphasis here is on performance and reliability. The airflow rate is 1300 l / min, which provides powerful suction of dust, small crumbs, animal hair and larger debris, including after repair work. And thanks to the HEPA fine filter, the device retains even the smallest particles, which is especially important for people with allergies. For the collected debris, a capacious dust collector with a volume of 540 ml is provided, which eliminates the need for constant emptying. It is made of transparent plastic, so you can control its fullness. In addition, the package includes a small crevice nozzle, which will help you get into hard-to-reach places. A big plus is that it is attached directly to the body - so the brush will always be at hand and will not get lost.

One battery for different tools

For buyers who are not familiar with Ryobi products, the handheld vacuum cleaner has prepared a surprise: it does not come with a battery and charger. And this was not even done for the purpose of additional income, it’s just that all the manufacturer’s power tools use the same Ryobi ONE + battery platform. That is, a universal battery, produced in different capacities, is suitable for various devices, be it a lawn mower, a rotary hammer, a screwdriver or a drill. For example, a 5 Ah battery provides a handheld vacuum cleaner with up to 30 minutes of battery life, which allows you to carry out a full cleaning in the rooms, office or car interior. Charging itself is quite fast, so if the device is discharged at the wrong time, cleaning will not have to be postponed until the evening or the next day.

Thus, if you already have some tool from the Ryobi collection, you get a powerful and high-quality vacuum cleaner with a nice price tag. However, otherwise, along with spending on the battery and charging, the cost will no longer be so attractive.
