Best Portable Battery Powered Shop Vacs? | Ryobi 18V Wet Dry Vacs

[@cfwebdeveloper]

Second... I was actually looking at the 3 Gallon one.. You always come in clutch with reviews thank you Keav!

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re welcome and there are two versions on the 3 gallon out there. This is the newer version.

[@viperrcr]

I just picked up the Ryobi 1 Gallon wet/dry vac. Picked it up for $45! Love it! I read in the manual that you can remove the filter for wet applications and replace it for dry applications.

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s great and thanks for the info on the filter!

[@jessicapetrin1655]

Nice! I love the dirt, rocks you used for demonstration. Using it for the messes I make while potting up, un potting and spills with my houseplants and car, mostly. Thanks so much!

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re welcome!

[@brantlywebber223]

dude you do an awesome job on reviews you just earned a subscriber

[@CarsWithKeav]

Appreciate that!

[@DelgadoDetailing]

I have the 1 gallon and I keep it in my car to keep my car clean! I love it

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s my plan too.

[@jetsdead]

Same. I use it normally and also for vaccum storage bags on road trips to save space, especially to store/pack our large dog beds on trips.

[@cahg3871]

I subscribed,your reviews are exceptionally thought out.Thanks for the work.BTW- I have been told to remove the air filter when drawing water,it will not hurt the motor.It’s dirt/grit that hurts the motor.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Makes sense I just wanted to test and make sure this filter they say can be used dry or wet was going to work well. Thanks for the kind words as well!

The 1 gallon is on sale at Home Depot for 49 bucks for Black Friday. It's a solid little vacuum for small cleanups. My biggest gripe with it is the hose is only like 3 feet long. If you are trying to clean up an area on the floor you have to bend down. I'm looking on Amazon and the cheapest 10 foot hose is 19.99 and have to find one that is a smaller diameter to fit this vacuum or find some type of conversion attachment. As you note, battery life is short like 15 minutes tops so the 1 gallon is not going to be good for large cleanups.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Ryobi just came out with an adapter for any of their hoses. Battery life depends on the battery you use. Run a 6AH or 8AH battery and it will last much longer of course that adds weight and makes it harder to hold the handle. www.homedepot.com/pep/RYOBI-Universal-Fit-Wet-Dry-Vaccum-Adapter-A32AD01/327055286?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25P-025_009_PORTABLE_POWER-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-PortPower_NEW_LIA_TEST&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D25P-025_009_PORTABLE_POWER-NA-Multi-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA-PortPower_NEW_LIA_TEST-21724535954--&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7ojlKhgQE71NES5YrNqlPUY7svF3KtXQwps0O-L-ZUE_3vd4juDpYgaAn7VEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@JoeFidler]

Great video! The 1 gallon is on sale for 49 right now at Home Depot. I wanted the 3 gallon but might just go 1 gallon since it’s so cheap.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I was wondering why I got an influx of comments today. Figured there must be a sale. Its been working amazing for a year now.

[@JoeFidler]

@@CarsWithKeav should I wait for the 3 gallon to go on sale or get the 1 gallon?!

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@JoeFidler Depends on the capacity you want and the portability. 3 gallon is a better vac, but 1 gallon has the price and size.

[@MrZACATECANO100]

Looking forward for that 1. Gal

[@CarsWithKeav]

I use it all the time.

[@bledboost]

@11:24 I don't think you're supposed to use that filter for wet vacuuming, on the manual it says "The wet/dry vac is shipped ready for dry use vacuuming. To equip the wet/dry vac for wet use, remove the dry use filter."

[@CarsWithKeav]

The ones I have in these are washable filters so getting wet is no problem. A foam filter over top is suggested to help with dirt in the water. The only thing is to make sure the filter is cleaned and dried before using it again for dry pickup. It won’t harden like paper filters will after getting wet

[@aaron30569]

Can you review the new Ryobi handheld blower looks really great

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have it and will do one soon. It’s pretty dang good! Only issue I have is it’s very high pitch sound so inside the garage you need hearing protection.

[@illyaborshchov5977]

thank you for the review, you are only the one who showed how it works with dirty carpet etc. Thank you!!!!

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re welcome

[@Shiitake0787]

love the bloopers! We're only human natural!

[@CarsWithKeav]

I must be very human as I get lots of bloopers. 🤣

[@MrMichaelsaldana]

I thought you posted a video of different bypass valves for diy systems, what happened?

[@CarsWithKeav]

For some reason KZbin only uploaded 10 minutes of a 16 minute video so I have to reupload and get the full video up. Sorry about that.

[@JSantana-mn6bi]

Can the one gallon be link locked on top of the portable tool box? I know it can on the wall but curious of the tool box! I can’t find a pic or video of the actual bottom of it. Thanks

[@CarsWithKeav]

Unfortunately it cannot only the 3 gallon was made to work on the link toolbox.

[@asharsiddiqui9647]

Do you recommend a 4ah or 4ah hp battery for the 1 gallon, or actually hp or non hp?

[@CarsWithKeav]

HP batteries can bring out a little more performance and might last a bit longer. I prefer to use them when I have them charged up. Most of my batteries are the normal ones so I work with what I have. If you don’t mind paying extra the HP batteries are worth it and for sure a 4AH on this will work way better than a 2AH

[@MiketheMike238]

Would the 3 gallon work well with a kit to do extraction do you think? How does this stack up to the rigid 4 gallon that so many detailers seem to love? I dont want to lug around a generator!😂

[@CarsWithKeav]

The 3 gallon works well have not used an extractor to know. I have the 4 gallon Pro Pack and it is more powerful. Anything plugged in normally would be.

[@MiketheMike238]

How do you feel these stack up against the similar rigid model?

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@MiketheMike238 Rigid is better to me as a shop vac just the cord being in the way is the problem. I like the 1 gallon the best just for its size and portability. I would prefer a corded Rigid over the 3 gallon.

[@is5032]

How’s the noise levels? I had the old one and it literally hurt my ears. I got rid of it because of that and went for the Milwaukee Fuel Packout instead. A much quieter and better built machine.

[@CarsWithKeav]

The 3 gallon has a much higher pitch and it would get annoying over time. The one gallon one is very tolerable though.

[@hgodtx]

Can anyone explain the foam cover accessory? Do you remove the filter and install the foam? I currently have a Rigid wet/dry vac but want to purchase one of these to be able to quick grab for wet cleanups.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Mine didn’t come with them, but they are usually for using with wet cleanups you would put over the current filter as it is built for wet and dry. Just makes cleanup easier with very dirty water. Some shop vacs filter is only for dry cleanup so that filter is removed and the foam one Installed for wet pickups.

[@josephmercado2668]

Are there any adapters for larger hoses?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I know Ryobi makes this one that adapts most fo their hoses to work with each other. www.ryobitools.com/products/details/33287208678?srsltid=AfmBOoquwpmwfpHCQF7d-WXwexgpRk_WvKvOJwP7pezBPgxIKiCt74-4#

[@bboychris168]

It states on Ryobi website manuals that it doesnt support 9ah battery? Are you able to confirm if this is true.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I do not have any batteries above a 6ah to be able to test that. Not sure how that is if it fits. Voltage isn’t changing just battery capacity. That is weird.

[@bboychris168]

@@CarsWithKeav So you think it could be just a size thing?

[@hgodtx]

There is no difference between the physical connection of the various batt capacities, so it's gotta be something like the clearance of the handle flipping up.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@hgodtx Exactly

[@knman0010]

Should have done the blow test with the crevice tool attached.

[@t.sowers7583]

Do you have a link to the Tornado gun?

[@CarsWithKeav]

This is the classic Tornado gun I have. Just mine is branded from Liqui Moly. amzn.to/3SDjUB8 There is one without the chemical spray ability that’s cheaper amzn.to/49x3qBo There is also this cheaper one that seems to work well. amzn.to/49tPIPY

[@t.sowers7583]

Thanks

[@frankjdm4636]

Great Video

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank You

[@TheOnlyTexasNinja]

You are pronouncing crevice correctly . That person is saying a completely different word

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thank you

[@chrish4783]

@@CarsWithKeav @TheOnlyTexasNinja is correct. A crevice (/krev-es/ a narrow opening caused by a split or crack) is something you vacuum. A crevasse (/kre'vas/ a deep open crack, especially one in a glacier) is something you don't want to fall into.

First! Lol
