Ryobi should have made these hybrid like their other tools. The option to have both battery and corded power would have been a game changer.
NO idea why they didn't make these hybrid....that was such a missed opportunity
@@TonyVainosky I couldn’t agree. At least make the 6 gallon a hybrid. I really don’t think most people wouldn’t mind spending an extra $40-$50 if you made it a hybrid vac.
Completely agree. There are times when a longer runtime is needed, like the hybrid fans. I purchased the 1 gallon and I went through 2 4ah batteries to vacuum my car. I returned is for this and because the suction and noise level was no different than the original 3 gallon that I own.
they probably wanted to keep the cost down + didnt want it to outshine it's other siblings line of shop vacs - RIdgid and Milwaukee.
100% agree with this. That would elimate the need for keeping around my old shop vac plug in. I see that Harbour Freight has a 2 gallon 20v (battery) /120v (plug in) vac. Hopefully Ryobi will follow suit!
The attachment that you're trying to use on the 6 gallon is a gulper attachment which is made for water. The crevice tool is what you need to do the carpet with. The grooves in the attachment provide a way to let air come in and not suck down tight to the floor so water can be sucked up. Without those grooves you would not be able to suck up water. In the past with other Shop-Vac vacuums I used to take a file and put those on the end of the attachment . Some wet vacs come with a door that you can adjust the amount of air coming through to give you more suction. Great video
I like how he pats the battery when he talks about it ❤ good battery. Good boy
Thanks for the video and review brother.
Excellent review. Thank you.
I bought the original 3-gallon vacuum when it first came out and to this day it is my favorite Ryobi tool.
yes i use the same one and its great . im going to buy the one gallon since its on sale
@@techhidotnet I bought the 1-gallon recently when it was a free tool with the two 4Ah batteries and charger. I've been wanting it since it came out but it was too expensive. I used it again today and it's great however I do wish it was a 1/2-gallon to make it even more compact. I also have the Worx Cube vacuum and while not as powerful I love how small it is.
I've got an original 3 gal that I found at the TTI tools outlet near me. It works OK for what it is. Great as a shop vac for dusting out my shed shop and great for cleaning my car. Aside from that, not really worth it as an upgraded shop vac (generic term here, not the brand). Its not really all that great for getting dust out of a carpet or rug, I think these types of vacs are designed for bare floors. Others have mentioned that having a plug in option is nice and I agree although I don't know how many times I'd actually go for the plug instead of a 4ah battery. Yes, these are relatively loud, really excessively loud compared to the competition, but it doesn't bother me.
I just wanted to thank u for such a great channel. U seen like a nice, genuine person and your procedure for reviews r great. I switched over to the ryobi family a while back and they r a great tool line with endless tools to choose from. I watch your channel first on any new possible tool. Thanks so much! Have a great day! Oh.. Have u done one on the 'stick' vacuum w the roller brush on the end. I didn't see one. Thanks
I have the one gallon unit , good for a small service truck, and you can throw it on your shop cart with your other tools as you move around
I like the one gallon. Small and convenient yet powerful enough
I like that tape measure.
I had the 6 gal. and I returned it after the next couple of days. I don't know about the 40v yet, but for now, I'm sticking to my Ridgid 16 gal. corded.
I like assessories.
Put some black electrical tape around the crevice tool and it should sit more snug I think. Nice review, planning to get the 3 gallon for the car when it's released in Sweden.
I hate emptying shop vacs that have filters instead of bags but I'm probably going to buy the one gallon anyway
I can vouch for the 6 gallon, one of clamps went missing and still didn’t experience a leak
How well do these extract water on actual carpet or other surfaces? That’s the one thing I’m interested in knowing more about. Thanks for the video and share the extraction details if you can. Much appreciated!
Just got the 3 gal and only glanced over the instructions but I didn't see where it said the filter can get wet. Only noticed that it said to remove the filter for wet use.
Mine sucked at sucking water!. Had to go out and buy a ridge during a heavy rainstorm!!
Do they shoot water out when sucking up water? Thats what i hate about my current shopvac.
You had the hose in the wrong spot with the larger one. You would want the exhaust air from the vacuum pointing away from you and the hose connected to the body of the vacuum to get suction.
Did they seem as quiet as they claim?
I can't understand why they don't use brushless motors in vacs of these size. A tool that could use the extra power and runtime.
if they are brushless you won't buy, it will be Milwaukee price
I'd definitely buy a brushless version
3gal form factor with DUAL 18v battery and variable or 5 speed rotary knob would be a dream. Trim, finish out sanding etc
hello is there a way to fit a dust bag into PCL735 model? I saw people were able to fit a dust bag from other brand in PCL733 and PCL734 but not sure about PCL735. From your video, I dont see a port for dust bag after you open the PCL735. Thank you!
I think your suppose to remove the filter when sectioning fluid
I have to know! what is your tape measure!!? so cool
When will these vacuums be releasing? Im tired of waiting 😭
Boy, do I hate loose dangly hoses.
4 seconds in and I’m thinking I should call her.
Having the previous model I have serious concerns as to the noise of these vacuums. Are they still deafening? Brushed motors still too? I think I’ll save up this time and go Makita or Milwaukee
I measured the decibel level of the 1 gallon and it was the same noise level as the original 3 gallon I have. I thought it was too loud to use in tight spaces.
@@brianm3724 really interesting thank you. I’ve decided to replace my previous generation 3 gallon due to the extraordinary noise of the thing. It literally hurts my ears in confined spaces. It sounds like the right decision is to go for a trade rated one like the Milwaukee Packout that has a greater emphasis on noise and thus hearing safety.
How does the new 3 Gallon compare to the old one? Is it powerful enough to justify an upgrade?
I've never used either of them, but the newer one supposedly has 30% more suction, base on descriptions. I probably wouldn't upgrade. I would add a corded version if anything, for more power. Or buy the Ridgid corded vac.
Not a single brush. The 4.75 gallon version (not shown here) with the stainless steel tank shows that it is included with the brush on ryobi’s website. But it didn’t come with it in the box. 😢
How good is that model? Does it actually have the power to clean automotive carpet? Not the test of some loose dirt on the surface but that ground in dirt.
Thanks
The hose on the 6 gallon still looks like the super cheap plastic on the old model, that’s a bummer. It wasn’t very flexible and doesn’t feel like it’ll hold up well over time. I returned it and got the Milwaukee instead. I wanted to like it, but it’s not for me. I’m sure it’ll work great for some people.
I have the previous version of the 3 gallon and it screams. So loud I hate using it. I need something like the stealth sonic in this compact size, battery powered.
Same here. I’m retiring mine due to its dreadful noise. I’m going Milwaukee as trade rated brands seems to have more data available on noise and pressure levels.
Is there a bearing or something that can be lubed up? If you’re gonna retire it maybe break into it and see about oiling it. Make a video. People would watch it.
The real question is --- do they have replacement filters ?? They don't ever have one available in Home Depot.
I see there are in stock now at HD
Can they be used for detail car seats?
I doubt they would be a good candidate for pulling cleaning solution from seats. Thanks for watching.
i like ryobi and have several tools but the shop vac was a total fail and disappointment--could not get the air fiiter to fit in the spot, very difficult and if i have to mess with it for hours each time i have to use it...forget it, it is going back, poorly designed as to how to fit the air filter into the top and bottom areas at the same time
can they attached to any vaccm paper bag?
Nope. As far as I know, no bags for these.
When you vacuum water or wet things, you are supposed to take the filter out.
Perhaps not always anymore. After watching this guy hook up the hose to the wrong side, I knew what was about to happen, lol. He forgot to mention the blower output of the mid model too. It seems like he was distracted and definitely didn't bring his "A" game to the production.
Not with these, he mentioned that at each vacuum. The filters are a wet/dry filter.
Nope. It’s a filter designed for wet and dry.
I have the original 3 gal and the only time I used it as a wet vac, I removed the filter. That said, if you leave the filter attached when doing wet vacuuming, you will still need to remove it while drying it and the vacuum itself (I let my wet vacs dry in the sun once done with them).
@@matthewjbauer1990
I do agree with needing to dry it out after using it after water pickup. They are designed to get wet but if you went straight to sawdust or ? That filter would clog pretty quick.
I do like the idea of a filter during water vacuuming. It would stop anything from getting up to the motor area.
Did you expect to get 6 gallons out of a 5 gallon pail? I must have missed something
Take the filter out for water
At around the 4 minute mark, little more maybe, he mentioned that the filter was a wet/dry filter. They are designed to get wet, no need to remove the filters.
After using the vacuum with the filter you need to dry it off if it get wet.
@@randysmith9636 Normally if you choose to leave the filter in, you would have a filter designated for wet usage and a filter designated for dry usage. And when the filter gets wet, you still need to remove it so it can dry better.
nice vacuums but for some reason at 20:19 has me wanting to call a girl I know....
😆
Why do they offer a plug on their fan but not on their shop vac. Insane.
Same goes with their table saw...
Same reason they don't offer a plug on most all of their other BATTERY operated tools.
Wait. You have a 5 gallon bucket and a 6 gallon vac that only manages to suck up just over 5 gallons 😂
on one hand it was spitting water on the other he ran out of water. I really did think it would stop and fill the bucket (partially) once he drained it though
@@james2042That's because once the bucket was dry, it was sucking air through a water saturated filter.
Look like 3 galón vacuum do better on 6 galon😊
Mine is junk I have the one with the wheels I do not recommend.
Ugh, imperial sucks. You know what 1 litre of water weighs in metric? 1kg. 1ml weighs 1g. 1cubic metre weighs 1 ton. It freezes at 0C and boils at 100C. It doesn't have to be difficult. Also, props for leaving 14:20 in, that was comedy gold.
Listen, just because metric makes sense, doesn't mean that we should use it. That's all I got, nothing else to argue with. All I know is this, Jesus had 12 disciples, not 10. :)
The 14:20 mark, we do this for you...we have to show our stupidity sometimes too. Thanks for watching.
Please tell me you’re just making a dumb joke with that Jesus shit…
@@fatal510 obviously he was. It was pretty funny too.
biggest drawback of the PCL733 is that you can't attach normal 1-1/4in attachments to it. the end nozzle is a slanted design or whatever and regular attachments don't fit onto it. they slide off. awful design by Ryobi.
