- Includes a high-capacity 4Ah battery and compatible charger

The RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Jobsite Hand Vacuum Kit is a premium, highly adaptable cleaning solution designed for contractors, DIY enthusiasts, and homeowners alike. Unlike standard handheld dustbusters, this model bridges the gap between a portable hand vac and a full-size shop vacuum. It is specifically engineered to handle tough messes like drywall dust, wood shavings, and general jobsite debris, making it a must-have addition to any workshop or garage.
Performance is where this vacuum truly shines. Powered by RYOBI's ONE+ HP technology and a highly efficient brushless motor, it delivers impressive suction power that easily tackles heavy debris. The standout feature is its 3-in-1 versatility. With the included extension wand and floor nozzle, it quickly transforms into a stick vacuum for hard floors. Alternatively, you can attach the 5-foot flexible hose to use it as a stationary vacuum, which is incredibly convenient when working at a workbench or detailing a vehicle.
In terms of design and build quality, RYOBI has prioritized both durability and user comfort. Weighing in at just under three pounds, the core unit is lightweight and easy to maneuver above your head for ceiling cleaning. The inclusion of a true HEPA filter is a massive bonus, ensuring that 99.9% of fine dust and allergens are trapped rather than recirculated into your workspace air. Additionally, the kit comes complete with a high-capacity 4Ah Lithium HIGH PERFORMANCE battery, providing up to 45 minutes of fade-free runtime, plus a charger.
While the vacuum packs a serious punch, the 4.22-cup dirt bowl capacity means you will need to empty it frequently during larger cleanups. However, for quick sweeps and medium-sized tasks, this is a minor trade off for such a portable device. Ultimately, the RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Jobsite Hand Vacuum Kit is an outstanding investment. Its combination of strong suction, quiet operation, and unmatched versatility makes it one of the most capable cordless vacuums in its class.
