Pros & cons

WORX Cordless Cube Vac Compact Vacuum

  • Shares the 20V Power Share battery with 75+ other Worx tools — no separate battery ecosystem needed for existing Worx owners
  • Published suction spec (22 CFM, 10 kPa) instead of a vague 'powerful suction' claim
  • Two speeds with a meaningfully longer 25-min runtime on low
  • Comes with a crevice nozzle and brush attachment
  • Washable filter — no recurring filter costs
  • 3-year limited warranty, longer than most handhelds this size
  • Small 7oz dirt cup — built for quick spot cleanup, not a full car interior in one pass
  • No motorized brush of any kind, so it's weak on embedded pet hair
  • High-speed runtime is only 10 minutes
  • No published noise level
  • $120 list price is high for the category if you don't already own a Worx Power Share battery to reuse

RYOBI ONE+ 18V Cordless Hand Vacuum with Powered Brush (Tool Only)

  • Genuine motorized mini beater bar for pet hair — not just a passive brush attachment
  • Published airflow (30 CFM) and sealed-suction (23 IOW) specs instead of vague marketing claims
  • Over 40-minute rated runtime, long for a handheld
  • Comes with a dust brush and crevice tool in addition to the pet beater bar
  • 3-year limited warranty
  • Cheaper than Ryobi's premium PBLHV701K brushless kit if you already own a battery
  • Tool only — no battery or charger included, adding real cost if you don't already own Ryobi ONE+ batteries
  • No published filtration type (HEPA or otherwise)
  • No published weight or dimensions
  • Too new a line for long-term owner reliability data
