The instructions state very clearly on a separate sheet of paper you ignored to install the float exactly as it comes in the package--but it falls out easily when you pull the parts out of the box. The trapped air inside the cup will make the cup float up when submerged in water, as in when you're using it as a wet vac. So the correct way to install the float cup is to install it with the open side down, closed side facing up toward the motor opening.
@OneFabFisher Thats the only reason I watched too, only to find he completely disregarded the piece as if it had no importance. I had to laugh at that.
Thanks for sharing. You stated at beginning of video that nobody reads the instructions...then you proceed to struggle with assembly eventually leaving float out. Got mine today.. literally took five minutes to read instructions and put together. With 9ah HP battery should get 15-18 minutes.
Haha yes. Usually true, no one reads instructions, but i did not realize that the float was important. I usually use this vacuum for my car or water. Light use. It’s still very good! :)
Nice video but what is that gray plastic cap you left out ? Like what is it for ? I just installed this today to vacuum my girls car and I put that plastic thing inside the other gray plastic thing that you screw in , idk the vacuum was sucking but not as I thought it would. I was wondering if it was because of that plastic thing restricting air flow.
I just saw another video and found out what it is. It’s a floater/stopper so when the liquid over flows it raises the stopper to the top and make your vacuum shut off.
Thanks for watching!! And yes, i was about to say that. I am using my vacuum currently to clean outside, our cars, and these nasty swarm of spider eggs and spiders. The vacuum does its job without the gray plastic cap. Thanks for following up on what that gray plastic cap is! Enjoy your vacuum :)
@@armandosoto4366 Hi Armando, this does not work to wash your car. But it will help to vacuum the inside of your car. I vacuum my car regularly. This works well!
You need it if you are sucking up water to let the vacuum know it’s getting full. But personally, I have left it out because I don’t suck up too much water. And plus, when it is halfway I just dump it.
Please read the instruction! You have to attach, the float to the top, so it to stops the water from getting into your motor, float must be upside down. Young man always read the instructions. 🥰 Please don't use it without the float!
I just got one today and tested it out. I knew I'd lose some suction power due to it being wireless, but I still think it's pretty weak for what it cost. It's very convenient, but I'm definitely considering returning it.
@@maryeakins7081 I checked numerous times. It's on as it should be. I have an older Craftsman vac that's probably at least 12 years or older. It sucks things up violently. I got this to try out to see if it would be a viable replacement option as it's getting harder and harder to find replacement filters and the fact that I have a lot of Ryobi tools. While I think the vacuum is nice, I think it leaves a lot to be desired.
@@brettmillard1338, plug vs no plug. Convenance vs whatever else. This isn't meant to be a complete replacement. It it was, it would be 10x more expensive and probably heavy as hell.
@@MichaelSuarez I must’ve bought a dud? Cause I tried 2-9ah all fully charged batteries and only 4ah and up works. You can hear the motor spin stronger and faster with the 9ah though.
I bought this and had a really hard time getting the top to align and latch onto the base. I'd latch it, but then some sides were sticking out more than others which means it would have been spitting dirty air out of any gap. Plastic latches also felt cheap and the on off switch was really hard to flip. Boxed it up and returned it. Also wasn't a fan of the wobble from the caster design.
The loose cap is suppose to trap air inside the cap will make the cap float up when submerged in water, as in when you're using it as a wet vac. It is to prevent your vacuum from overflowing when sucking too much water. The cap will float up in the suction hole and suffocate it, which will turn it off. In my experience and usage, I don't use the cap and I suck up very little water or half way and then dump it and do it again.
I never put the float and i never use it. But it should go inside if you are sucking up water and it will let you know when water is full so it doesn’t damage your machine. I usually suck water with it, but only half way through. Not much at all. Usually i vacuum dirt and more solids.
Watching you suck up water when you forgot to install the float just made me cringe. Luckily, you did not suck up enough water to over fill the unit and have the water sucked right through the motor. I really hope you fixed this mistake before you damaged your new vacuum.
I think this “review” was meant to be a parody of the male penchant to not read directions. It has to be! Notice how many times he ignored the one component he left out and the fact that a woman had to come to his rescue? Definitely a parody.
Young man I did enjoy your video, but that little gadget you left out needs to be installed in the vacuum, it very important, if you have a lot of water to suck up and you don't have that in, you will burn out your vacuum motor.
Thank you very much for your honest feedback! I agree with you, but i lost that float. So i still use it to vacuum water and other dirt particles whenever necessary and it’s still running fine. But you are right, the float is important! Thanks again :)
You should ALWAYS read the INSTRUCTIONS on ANY tools and devices you are assembling and for you to actually state that "No one reads the instructions" was very unprofessional on your part, and that's why you missed installing the float for the "WET" vacuum function of this product. Please re-think your approach on the importance of reading the instructions in your content moving forward.
So I'm a new viewer, I brought this video up on May 4th to see where that silly round leftover plastic cup goes. Yes I too assembled my unit and then disassembled it to figure out where that nasty leftover part belonged. Yes I read and reread the instructions but the comment about the float said to ' leave it in the basket the way you find it'. The float assembly bag needs a STOP SIGN label saying DUMBASS - READ THIS BEFORE OPENING THIS BAG! SHEEZE. OF COURSE THE PARTS FELL OUT OF THE BAG AND I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IS WAS OR THE IMPORTANCE OF REINSTALLING THE FLOAT CUP BACK THE RIGHT WAY. I figured Michael will show me the way north. Then... hilarious Michael had the 'leftover' part too and had to look at it like 4-5 times and must have thought - what the hell is that and where does it belong, but no...he just leaves it out and goes on with his testing. HILLARIOUS! A big Thanks to @ricbechter and @maryeakins7081 - not sure how they figured this out. The part needs an arrow or imprint indicator; UP or TOP stamped into it.

Yes! That is 100% true! Thank you for that! :)
Hahaha! Yes, thank you; exactly why I watched...float fell out and I needed to know which direction to install!!!
Thank you! I watched this video specifically to figure this out and was so frustrated that he left the float out.
Thanks Ric! Mine fell out and I couldn't figure out which way ti went!!! You saved me a TON of time. Thanks again.
@OneFabFisher Thats the only reason I watched too, only to find he completely disregarded the piece as if it had no importance. I had to laugh at that.
Great video demonstrating that the least common denominator can assemble this.
Hahaha right! :)

Is it good for like car washing ?
@@armandosoto4366 Hi Armando, this does not work to wash your car. But it will help to vacuum the inside of your car. I vacuum my car regularly. This works well!
Worst review ever. Mike had no idea what he was doing. Leaving out the float was big mistake.
What about the piece that you left sitting on the floor. That piece fell out of the float assembly.
You need it if you are sucking up water to let the vacuum know it’s getting full. But personally, I have left it out because I don’t suck up too much water. And plus, when it is halfway I just dump it.
Thanks. This video saved me from having to find some other screws that would hold the filter and float in. Didn't think to look at that random insert.
Hey! I’m glad to hear! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Why didn’t it turn on the first time? I’m having the same issue
That’s a good question. To this day, it still does the same thing. Usually on the second try, it works.
Get to know it b4 u make the video. Also, u didn't remove ties from casters.
U did not insert float.
Understood!
Please read the instruction! You have to attach, the float to the top, so it to stops the water from getting into your motor, float must be upside down. Young man always read the instructions. 🥰 Please don't use it without the float!
What is the “float”?? It’s not clear in the manual or directions. Is it that cylindrical thing that this fellow leaves out, on the garage floor?
MY FAVORITE thing for getting rid of spiders around the house.
RIGHT!!!! Bi-weekly spider clean-up!
What about the remaining black thing??
What did you do to fix the issue when you first turned it on
Sometimes I have an issue turning it on. I usually just turn it back off and turn it back on a few times. That’s the only fix I have for that issue.
if i were you & wanting 2 suck up water i would re-check & see if i got my float installed before i dive in ?
Yes, you are correct. But sometimes I use it without the float and sucking water works well too.
I just got one today and tested it out. I knew I'd lose some suction power due to it being wireless, but I still think it's pretty weak for what it cost. It's very convenient, but I'm definitely considering returning it.
I agree with you. I use this just for car vacuuming, or any small particles around the house. Some water if necessary, very low maintenance stuff.
You have to make sure the lid is on correctly.
@@maryeakins7081 I checked numerous times. It's on as it should be.

How did you get it to work after it didn’t start Initially ??
I took out the battery, put it back in, and tried to turn it on again :)
What he failed to mention the most important part is the size of battery! You need a 4ah or higher!
Does it give more suction power if you get a 4ah?
You are able to use any battery that fits into the battery pocket. I have used the 2ah battery. It works but doesn’t last long.
From my experience it doesn’t give any more suction power compared to a 2ah and 4ah. The only difference is that the 2ah doesn’t last too long.
@@MichaelSuarez I must’ve bought a dud? Cause I tried 2-9ah all fully charged batteries and only 4ah and up works. You can hear the motor spin stronger and faster with the 9ah though.
@@jasony724 how much run time will you get with the 9a battery? Thanks
So what would I have done wrong in assembly if I feel the sucking power “sucks”?
Check the battery if it’s low. Or change the nozzle on the vacuum.
Hey, why did it not turn on at first?
Truthfully, I have no idea. Sometimes it works the first time and sometimes on the second try.
Becase he’s a kid!! And doesnt know better!! That’s why!!
Nice review bro😊
Thank you very much! :)

Yeah, I had that trouble too. But then it gets easier from there. To this day I still use this vacuum for water and cleaning up the house and car.
Nice review!
Thanks a lot! :)
Just like that!
Right! :)
What does that lose cap do ?
The loose cap is suppose to trap air inside the cap will make the cap float up when submerged in water, as in when you're using it as a wet vac.
It is to prevent your vacuum from overflowing when sucking too much water. The cap will float up in the suction hole and suffocate it, which will turn it off.
In my experience and usage, I don't use the cap and I suck up very little water or half way and then dump it and do it again.
FLOAT?
I never put the float and i never use it. But it should go inside if you are sucking up water and it will let you know when water is full so it doesn’t damage your machine.
I usually suck water with it, but only half way through. Not much at all. Usually i vacuum dirt and more solids.
Bro. Maybe sort out how the install works before filing a how to tutorial
100% agree with you!
Watching you suck up water when you forgot to install the float just made me cringe. Luckily, you did not suck up enough water to over fill the unit and have the water sucked right through the motor. I really hope you fixed this mistake before you damaged your new vacuum.
Yes, biggest mistake, the float is inside now. But overall, I don't suck too much water, I always suck up about half way and dump it and then repeat.
@@MichaelSuarez We all make mistakes. Glad you discovered it before any damaged happened.
@@paparoysworkshop thank you! And yes! That’s very important.
You didn’t put the float in!!!
I did not hah. But i don’t usually suck up much water. And when i do, I try to dump it out more often than usual.

Haha! Thanks for this! I’m one of a few in this world that doesn’t read instructions.
What is that left out part? Is that the “float”? Where does it go, cuz I can’t find it in the instructions. :-(

LOL LOL LOL!! I need to! I have been in most recent reviews now lol
@@MichaelSuarez It's all good! You showed what I needed to see. Thanks...
@@christophersmith5116 Awesome!! Glad to hear :)
For the clip attachment Ryobi should pay you. Their video is pathetic.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!! I really appreciate that :)
Great negative demonstration by ignoring the instructions and rush the process to make mistakes. LOL
Hahah lesson learned.
You literally did everything wrong in this assembly video, please don’t embarrass yourself anymore.
I’ll do my best! :)
