Ryobi Evercharge Stick Vacuum Cleaner + Giveaway

Isn't he cute??

That's our Louie, our little Yorkshire Terrier, and I apologize for waiting too long, almost a year, to properly introduce him around here (he's had his debut on Instagram 😉).

Well, this post is a tool review, but here I am showing you pictures of this little guy you haven't seen much on the blog.

Let me tell you very shortly why. - Louie is our first pet. We've never dared to have a pet because any pet would drive Mister RLC completely nuts! My son asked so many times for a dog, but every time he asked, his dad said nope, no way.

So, how did we end up with Louie?

What started as a pet-sitting favor for a friend turned into pet ownership after our friend lost his battle against cancer. This was a bittersweet way for our family to experience the joy of having a pet.

After living with Louie for a few months, I knew I had to do something to tame the amount of hair and dust that was invading our home. Not that dust and dirt didn't accumulate before having him, but they kind of doubled after he came to live with us.

Here he is at his favorite spot.
We controlled the barking, but he still closely watched those passersby. :D

And that's one of the spots where, as my friend said perfectly, "hairballs roll across the floor like tumbleweeds in the Wild West!"

When given the option to pick a power tool to try in one of my upcoming projects, I didn't hesitate much. I needed a lightweight vacuum cleaner to keep my sanity.

I've been using the RYOBI Stick Vacuum Cleaner for three months now. 

It's the first cordless, lightweight vacuum I've had in my entire life, and I'm in love!

I like that it's cordless, and I love that it belongs to the Ryobi ONE+ platform, which means I can use any of my Ryobi batteries to put this vacuum to good use.

The Ryobi Stick Vacuum has a crevice tool, dust brush, charging mount, accessory storage, and a 4.0Ah Ryobi battery.

The Evercharge technology means the vacuum is charged and ready to clean when you are. You place your vac there on the docking station, which immediately connects through the vacuum to the battery.

You can keep track of the battery power by looking at the measuring lights on the battery itself...

Or the lights below the handle where a green light tells you what's happening. 

When both green lights are flashing, the battery is being evaluated. 

When the right side light flashes, the battery is charging. Solid lights mean the battery is fully charged.

The dust brush and crevice tool can be neatly stored by the side of the vacuum.

And I usually keep the power head on the tool and ready to vacuum floors. It runs on two wheels and lays flat on the floor, which is great for cleaning those hard-to-reach places. The roller starts spinning as soon as you turn on the vacuum.

The brushless motor provides better suction and longer run time. The specifications claim that you can run this vacuum for 45 minutes on one 4.0Ah battery, but that's at a lower speed. On high speed, it should run for 25 minutes. But the reality is, I have always had a battery. I usually do one-hour cleanings or one-room cleanings, so I end up with more battery than needed.

If you ask me if this small vacuum can replace one of the big sisters, I might say no. But again, maybe. I haven't used my big vacuum cleaner in a loooong time.

The vacuum has two speeds that you can change by pressing the power button. 

I usually use the high speed when vacuuming carpets, and the lower speed is used when cleaning hardwood floors.

Each of the accessories can connect directly to the console and the extension wand.

I use the extension wand and dust brush to clean the moldings high on the wall. The crevice tool is the way to go to clean my minivan or to catch all the dust balls in the corners of the rooms!

I prefer cleaning the steps by removing the extension wand and using either of the accessory tools.

Cleaning the dust cup is easy! 

Push the bottom of the cup to open the top flap to remove dirt, or push the button on the side to completely remove the dust cup to remove dirt and clean the filter.

I must thank this little guy for pushing me to try this wonderful tool!!
