Watching your videos is getting expensive for me! Recent purchases: Ego blower, Ryobi power washer, MJJC foam cannon (from you), Active short gun, Flexzilla hose, quick connects, and nozzles. Appreciate the all videos which helped me a lot.
Bought one 5 months ago. Run it off 4AH batteries. Works great last long enough for 2 vehicles for a normal cleaning. Light weight and no loud whining noise like some vacs. Empty after each use & use the blower function to clean its own filter out to keep new.
Unrelated comment: You should make a spreadsheet with all of the results you have gotten from your pressure washer tests. That way we don't have to watch every single review when we are in the market for one. Just a thought.
Although this will be more efficient since he is taking the time to make these videos we as his audience can take the time to see his videos there is not many ppl that do this in detail so the appreciation is giving josh views
Lot of work for little reward, when, regular viewers can't even sub when it costs them NOTHING. Anyways just venting. Nonetheless Josh really is a great content creator. For the Koch Chemie guys to be in a few videos with Josh, goes to show Josh's word is respected. (That's what I believe anyways) I need an Australian local to me "Josh" 😀
Why would he do that??? The point is to watch the full review in real time and "see" it for yourself. You won't get that from a spreadsheet. Not a good thought at all.
I got the original one last year and use the heck out of it. The Rigid is still my go to, but the cordless has been beyond what expected. The true test was using it with the furminator on dog hair and it’s been great. Thanks for reviewing this new one.
I bought this unit a few months ago. Already had Ryobi batteries and chargers, so got just the vacuum. I mainly use it for the cars, but have also used it on the garage cleaning up around the work bench and in the house. Works great, great price, and just super handy.
Great video Josh. I have a small Worx battery-powered vacuum that costs right around $100 and I thought it was a decent unit. But this Ryobi vacuum does everything better than the Worx item does. Makes we wish I had waited...
Thanks for the review. I detail professionally (since 2000) I purchased the pressure washer from ryobi for super early morning accounts. I love that thing! Been looking for a cordless shop vac. This is the one I'm buying!! Thanks a 1000000!
Hope you have a good holiday weekend Josh and can’t wait to see the spring/summer detail content flow. I appreciate you a lot got me and wife into detailing our personal cars and soon to be business owners detailing. Next I have to face the fear and get a dual action polisher.
Hey Josh! Thanks for the review. Value your opinion as always! Have you ever taken a look at the Harbor Freight/ Bauer 3.5 gallon cordless wet/dry Vac? I picked one up cheap over the holidays and it seems decent but wonder how it compares to this one. 👍 Thanks again for all your content!! 😉👌
Had one of these a while for my occasional mobile jobs only cause I already had so many Ryobi batteries, need to sell my corded extractor and get the Ryobi one as well
I would be curious as to if you could check out the new 3 gallon Battery operated Ryobi shop vac. Specs wise it seems to perform just as good as the typical rigid corded vacs on the cheaper end that detailers use most. Seems like it may he a valuable tool for detailers more so than this one
I’ve had their wet dry 1 gallon vac for several years this must be a re-tooling of an existing version so that they can make it work with their latch system, the one I have is more rectangular and shorter to the ground whereas the one you’re using now is square and over twice as tall. I love it I use it to detail my personal vehicles but even with a four amp battery if you plan on running very long it’s a good idea to have more than one battery because it does seem to eat it really fast lol but otherwise I’ve been very happy with it I’m sure this one’s same specs they just did a redesign.
Great video. Now I have to have it! Also... nice tease with the Ryobi Speed Bench. I can't wait until they release it so I can get it too. P.S. I pronounce Ryobi the same. Never thought of pronouncing it "ree-oh-be"
i might get this, with 2 battery to run my no generator mobile detailing ... cant be relying on customer power all the time...... thanks for the reviews
I'm saving to buy some equipment for a home service car wash, which option would you reccomend to me : 1 - Buy a small energy generator , an electric vacuum and pressure washer or 2- A cordless vacuum and gasoline pressure washer ?
Not related to this video but how do you clean dried cement off of the undercarriage, running boards and fenders? Construction company was rinsing concrete into oncoming traffic. I got most of it off but there are stains under the running boards and in the removable fenders (Bronco). Driving me crazy! Any advice would be appreciated
Hi, I'm looking at a similar 3gal vacuum from Greenworks. In your opinion, is 40 inches of water lift enough for car detailing and/or extraction? It's close to the Ryobi in this video. Also, thanks for the years of great content! Extremely helpful.
I'm avoiding a generator (for now). Currently I have a 40V battery bucket pressure washer from them (which I love) so it makes sense to also opt for the 40V portable vacuum.
I bought one last week, and I'm not crazy about what the Link mounting panels cost, so I'm looking at this myself. The grooves (or molded lips, whatever you want to call them) looks like it might accept 1/4" plywood that is cut to a matching profile. I may try to make some cleats based on that this spring. Wish I had some 1/4"-thick, but wide, PVC planking to try out for this purpose, but plywood should at least make a DIY prototype as a proof of concept. Another possible alternative/waterproof/easily-cleaned material might be a chunk of leftover floor laminate.
You know how long the battery lasts in my corded shop vac? This might be a nice little unit, but if it doesn't fill a need or have a purpose in a detailing setup, why bother recommending it? This seems to be more targeted at home owners or apartment owners who have limited room and want to double duty the unit as their shop and home vac.
For me this is something to add to the arsenal of tools, it’s not a replacement. This is a good unit to take on long trips or any trip for that matter. That way you can keep your rig dialed as you go.

@@JLamont_3PM Ditto my dude.
Ran out and bought this. It is awesome. You really should be getting a commission from Ryobi.
I agree haha I wish

Another great video Josh I love Ryobi but I also love the 20 volt system from Worxs they have a very good vacuum that you can strap on your shoulder
Great review Josh! Thanks!
Im a detailer here in san diego, i use the cordless 9 gallon ridgid nxt. Its pretty fantastic!
I own a mobile bike shop in philly. Love this little machine. I used the 9ah battery
Great video Josh. I have a small Worx battery-powered vacuum that costs right around $100 and I thought it was a decent unit. But this Ryobi vacuum does everything better than the Worx item does. Makes we wish I had waited...
I'm glad I found this video as I was about to buy a small wet vac for my small detailing business. Portability and size was top priority for me.
Bought the 1gen w/d shop vac which was awesome but I’m gonna pick this up too
I just bought one a couple weeks ago. Pretty impressive so far
I work at HD and am picking one up today before heading home! 🤙🏽
I love them! I actually bought another since I made the video ha
Thanks for the review. I detail professionally (since 2000) I purchased the pressure washer from ryobi for super early morning accounts. I love that thing! Been looking for a cordless shop vac. This is the one I'm buying!! Thanks a 1000000!
Great review, Josh!
Thanks Josh hope you and your family have a great weekend!!!

I love that thing! I use it for my final vac at the end of the detail so I don't have to whip out my big vacuum again. Its awesome

I bought this exact unit-great for quick clean ups in my vehicle between my regular cleanings.
Great to hear!

It's on sale at Home depot now, $50 !!
Yep just picked up another today! Video for Home Depot deals out tomorrow!!
Great video. Now I have to have it! Also... nice tease with the Ryobi Speed Bench. I can't wait until they release it so I can get it too. P.S. I pronounce Ryobi the same. Never thought of pronouncing it "ree-oh-be"
This is my second favorite Ryobi after my air gun
i might get this, with 2 battery to run my no generator mobile detailing ... cant be relying on customer power all the time...... thanks for the reviews
Will grab tool only one since I already have 18v ryobi batteries.
Pair this with the Bauer new hose kit and you got a home run for quick cleans.
I'm saving to buy some equipment for a home service car wash, which option would you reccomend to me : 1 - Buy a small energy generator , an electric vacuum and pressure washer or 2- A cordless vacuum and gasoline pressure washer ?
Remove the filter when doing the water lift test cause if you are sucking up water you wont have the filter on there.
Adding another ryobi to my wish list
Home Depot had them for $50 at Christmas.
Can you test out the milwaukee M18 Fuel Packout 18-Volt Cordless 2.5 Gal Vacuum?
is there a smaller version of a vacuum you would recommend just for interior vehicle use?...thanks
Any idea where you can get attahments for this that fit like the water squeegee?
Is the hose long eough to comfatbly use it on a car, do you need to put the vacuum on the seat or can you keep it outside on the ground.
Not related to this video but how do you clean dried cement off of the undercarriage, running boards and fenders? Construction company was rinsing concrete into oncoming traffic. I got most of it off but there are stains under the running boards and in the removable fenders (Bronco). Driving me crazy! Any advice would be appreciated
Have you seen the 7 in 1 hand held steamer by Dirt Devil? Is it usable for car detailing?
Will the Rigid car cleaning kit hose and attachments fit this unit?
You should do a review on superior products, Dark Fury to be exact !!!
Josh, how😊 about trying it as a wet vac and let us know what you think.
Can you put a bag in it? I rather have a bag with it. Or do you know any vacuum small like this that operates with a bag? Thanks!
Hi, I'm looking at a similar 3gal vacuum from Greenworks. In your opinion, is 40 inches of water lift enough for car detailing and/or extraction? It's close to the Ryobi in this video. Also, thanks for the years of great content! Extremely helpful.

Josh love your vids man! Can I have your opinion on clay towels ?
Hi! I personally use a clay mitt or sponge but it’s just a preference. Just keep the surface lubricated properly!!
What’s the difference in auction with the 1 gal and 3 gal?
Test coming soon. I just got the 3 gallon. It has two power options but I don’t know the power difference yet
Is there an inexpensive way to mount this on the wall without having to invest in the expense link mounting system?
I bought one last week, and I'm not crazy about what the Link mounting panels cost, so I'm looking at this myself. The grooves (or molded lips, whatever you want to call them) looks like it might accept 1/4" plywood that is cut to a matching profile. I may try to make some cleats based on that this spring.

@imjoshv Hey could you pls tell is this better than the DEWALT 20V MAX Vacuum, Wet/Dry, (DCV581H) ? pls anyone?
Right now is 127.97 on clearance. I just got one.
Great review! Thx.

Just FYI Home Depot has the Ryobi Compact Blower on the site with a charger and 4Ah battery for $149. Normally they only have to tool for $99.
Your tracks on your garage floor do you ever have to take them up?
👍
Reeee-obi ❤
You will have to dump out this unit a number of times after wet vacuuming a dirty car. 1 gallon is not a lot volume.
Pretty sure that was explained 😂😂
@adg4eternal
Actually it wasn't. For people who haven't used a smaller unit like this will soon find out, lol!😅
For me this is something to add to the arsenal of tools, it’s not a replacement. This is a good unit to take on long trips or any trip for that matter. That way you can keep your rig dialed as you go.
As soon as I saw Ryobi…well as Mark Cuban says “for that reason I’m out”
