Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the RY40WD01B for delivering a significant power increase over Ryobi’s earlier cordless vacs, with 80 CFM airflow and 50 inches water lift that rival corded units. They highlight its 75 % higher suction than the 18V P770, the spacious 10‑gallon tank, and the quiet low‑speed operation, while noting the higher noise on max power, absence of HEPA filtration, and the weight as trade‑offs.
What Users Say
Everyday users echo the professional praise for strong suction, cordless convenience, and quiet low‑speed operation, often mentioning the ease of draining liquids and the usefulness of integrated accessories. The main complaints revolve around louder operation at high power, battery runtime limitations, and the unit’s heft during prolonged handheld use.
Common Complaints
Common issues include higher noise levels on the max power setting, variable battery runtime that depends on the 6 Ah pack, and the 16.2 lb weight making prolonged handheld operation uncomfortable.
What People Are Saying
“Strong suction outperforms smaller battery vacs like Ryobi P770, with noticeable pickup difference”
“Quiet at 68 dB on low setting; useful attachments like squeegee and brush”
How It Compares
vs. Ryobi P770 (18V, 6 gal)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the RY40WD01B for larger messes and longer runtime; stick with the P770 for lighter tasks and if you need a lighter, lower‑cost unit.
vs. Ryobi ONE+ 18V 4.75 gal (PWV201B)
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the RY40WD01B for heavy‑duty, larger‑volume cleaning; opt for the ONE+ 4.75 gal if you prioritize compactness and already own ONE+ batteries.
