RYOBI 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Jobsite Hand Vacuum Kit

This is Ryobi's premium handheld, built on the brushless "HP" motor platform Ryobi also uses in its higher-end drills and impact drivers, and it's genuinely a 3-in-1 tool rather than a pure handheld: the same body works as a handheld, converts to a light stick vacuum with the included extension, and can sit stationary for shop-bench work. Ryobi backs it with real published numbers instead of vague marketing claims — up to 34 CFM airflow, a sealed-suction figure the company separately rates at up to 84 IOW, and a sound level as low as 68 dB, which is quiet for a brushless tool this size. The kit ships with a 4Ah high-performance battery and charger included, so it's ready to run out of the box rather than assuming you already own Ryobi ONE+ batteries, and the HEPA filter is a genuine step up from the washable-filter norm in this category. The 45-minute rated runtime and 4.22-cup capacity are both strong for a handheld. The tradeoffs: at $189 for the kit it's priced closer to a compact stick vacuum than a dustbuster, it's noticeably bulkier and heavier than a basic 12V handheld even at a reasonable 2.9 lbs, and Ryobi doesn't list a motorized pet-hair brush among the four included accessories — for that, look at Ryobi's own PCL700 Powered Brush model instead.
