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!

The fact I purchase a stick vacuum and these new one comes out a couple months later just makes me wish I waited

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!

I wonder what runtime is on the 4AH Battery that comes with it. No one talks about it

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.

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 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.

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.

[alluringming]

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?

[donb]

Can you use the handle/motor directly on the roller part without the shaft?

[johnburroughs]

Have you tested anything against the kirby?

[hansschweikert]

Nice. Informative. Funny. I do wish you have included model numbers. Thx.

[ukmitch]

How does this compare to a dyson v11 absolute?

[wanderingsailor]

Did you frame interpolate this footage as there's some weird frame issues going on?

Salut il Y-a-t-il des aspirateurs balais moins cher mais autant performant budget maximum 150€ s'il vous plaît ❤❤❤

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"

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.
