It should be a given that any remodeling process, no matter what room of your house it takes place in, is going to conclude with a gigantic mess all over the floor. Whether it’s wood shavings from sawed planks, metal bits from drilled screws, or the occasional puddle of water from a leaky pipe, there’s going to be a considerable clean-up effort before you can cap off the entire process. For this, you’re going to need a sturdy shop vacuum that can handle both wet and dry messes in a quick and precise manner.
Ryobi’s 6-gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum is designed to be your trusty buddy for cleaning workshop-level messes. Using its 18V ONE+ battery pack, the vacuum can follow you anywhere you go without the need for tangling, or tripping on power cords. With 80 CFM, this compact device can capture whatever messes have settled on your floor and possessions, storing it all in the conveniently removable compartment at the top.
Pro Tool Reviews’ Kenny Koehler praised the 6 Gallon Vacuum for its efficacy in capturing messes all over hard-surfaced floors. In the event a mess was a little harder to get at, he noted that the vacuum’s various nozzle, wand, and brush attachments more than made up the difference. The only real downside he noted was that a full charge only provided 12 minutes of runtime, but this can be assuaged through swappable battery packs.
