In this quick review, I’m talking about the RYOBI 1 gallon wet/dry shop vac—the smallest model they make. The whole point of this thing is portability. Because it’s compact and cordless, I can grab it by the handle and take it wherever I need it without dragging out a normal-sized shop vac or messing with a cord. For small stuff like sawdust in a corner, it’s just way easier and faster. That said, it’s not going to replace a full-size shop vac. It’s not nearly as powerful, especially if you’re trying to pull debris out of carpet or cover a bigger area, and since it runs on a battery it’s not really meant for extended use. If you’re using it all day, you’ll burn through batteries—but you can keep swapping packs and keep it going. I haven’t used it for water yet, and with only a 1 gallon capacity you’re not picking up much anyway. Price is around 80 bucks and it doesn’t come with a battery, but if you already have RYOBI batteries, I think it’s super useful for quick cleanups and car vac jobs.
