5 Ryobi One Plus Products You Probably Didn't Know Exist

When you think about brands that deliver versatile, battery-powered tools, Ryobi might be somewhere at the top of the list. One popular aspect of the Ryobi brand is its innovative range of battery-powered tools. The Ryobi One+ lineup includes tools all running on the same, interchangeable 18V lithium battery, making it possible to share one or two batteries among any of your tools. From Ryobi power tools for your kitchen renovation to ones you can use to repair your shed, Ryobi has different devices to suit every DIYer's needs. 

The Ryobi One+ suite naturally includes classic power tools like drills, saws, and staple guns. But there are a few out-of-the-box items among the 300-plus 18V One+ lineup. You might not realize that Ryobi has created tools that help with things like housecleaning, lawn maintenance, comfort, and more. Where helpful, we've included product specifications and reviews, both positive and negative, from the product pages at ryobitools.com. From a hand vacuum for cleaning up small messes quickly to a power spreader for lawn fertilization tasks, Ryobi has many tools you might not even know exist.

Hand vacuum

Beyond power tools that can help you hang a shelf, Ryobi also has the sort of tools that might help you clean up when you've finished the project. The 18V One+ Performance hand vacuum — available for $54.97 for the tool itself or $99 for the tool plus a battery and charger — is a compact vacuum useful around the house, shop, or elsewhere. As one reviewer notes, "This is a very handy little vacuum for my truck and other odd jobs." To maximize its versatility, it includes several attachments, including a crevice tool and a dust brush.

Powered by the 18V battery, this hand vacuum offers up to 37 IOW sealed suction and up to 40 CFM air flow. One pleased user writes, "The description said 2x the power and they were right." With a dual-filter system, this Ryobi vacuum captures debris for easy clean up. To empty the dust cup, you press a button. Despite the overall review of 4.7 stars out of 5 on the brand's website, several of the less favorable reviews mention poor design, particularly concerning the switch and dust cup. On the other side, many positive reviews note the lightweight aspect of this hand vacuum.

Oscillating fan

Did you know that there is a Ryobi tool that can make a power outage less miserable? The 18V One+ HP brushless hybrid 9-inch oscillating fan for $99 can be a welcome addition to your Ryobi collection in that case, or for daily use in a warm garage or workshop while tackling DIY tasks. This oscillating fan operates either with a One+ battery or an extension cord for added utility. Running on an 18V battery, this fan can provide up to 23 hours of cooling on a single charge, according to the company, with several positive reviews praising the runtime.

You can find a variety of ways to use and install this fan from Ryobi: Mounted to a wall, hooked onto a shelf or countertop, or freestanding. Despite a 1,200 CFM airflow, one fan of the fan notes that "It runs so quiet you may not remember it's on" (an estimated 57 dBA). Standing 9 inches tall, this oscillating fan also features a rubber handle so it can be picked up and transported wherever you need more cool air flow. When it's hot outdoors, consider the $79 18V One+ Whisper Series 7.5-inch bucket top misting fan, which can sit on a 5-gallon bucket filled with water and lightly cool patio seating or a small balcony.

Power spreader

Lawn maintenance, including a Consumer Reports-recommended lawn mower, is another area Ryobi has covered. The 18V One+ power spreader kit, available for $59.57, helps evenly distribute grass seed, fertilizer, ice melt, and other granular materials in the yard, especially useful over large areas. The 1-gallon tub is capable of holding enough material to cover up to 5,000 square feet in one project. One review appreciates the upgrade of this power spreader compared to a manual one, sharing that "The 2.0ah battery is plenty of runtime to get my yard covered."

An anti-clog mechanism and an adjustable flow rate knob helps control exactly how much weed control or fertilizer gets distributed, at up to 15 feet at a time. As one reviewer sums up this part of the design, "The adjustable flow works well and spreads evenly without much effort." This product only has nine reviews (5 out of 5 stars) on the company's website, so there isn't yet much to compare for any downsides or concerns.

Carpet washer

The 18V One+ HP Swiftclean carpet washer kit includes a carpet washer, two 18V One+ batteries, a charger, and 2 different brush rolls. This carpet cleaner, available for $399, is designed to wash the carpet when you push it forward and dry as when you pull it back. It has dual tanks so clean water does not mix with the dirty, used water. There are only a handful of "friends and family" reviews on the brand's site, all postive. One user described how intuitive the cleaner was, saying that it was,"Super easy to put together" and "I also really liked the simple user experience. There's only power on/off and up/down buttons. Super easy. I also really liked it automatically is wet going forward, dry going backwards."

This carpet washer is a Ryobi tool for spring cleaning your home, because you can leave behind the limitations of a corded cleaner, along with the weight of most cleaners. You can use either the gentle clean brush roll for everyday cleaning or the deep clean brush roll for spot treatment on problem areas. One reviewer notes, "This carpet cleaner is way lighter and dries so much better, since you can hit the button to dry only." This user, along with others, also likes the feature allowing you to just dry the carpet. Among the few downsides reported are difficulties getting the small tank fully dry and that the machine auto-switches to dry mode if you move too slowly. 

Digital inflator

Keep car tires, bike tires, and more inflated with the Ryobi 18V One+ high pressure digital inflator, available for $39.97 for just the tool or $99 for the tool plus a battery and charger. It is a portable inflator that runs on an 18V battery for quick air filling of tires and inflatable balls. Although a few reviews mention issues with functionality, overall this tool appears to perform well (4.8 stars with 270 reviews). Other users report fast inflation times and believe it is a good value for the money.

This high-pressure inflator is designed to inflate up to 160 PSI. A key component of this tool's design is an auto shut-off feature for precise inflation and safety. One user says, "I love being able to walk away after setting the psi." Several reviewers praise this feature that avoids overinflation and means there's "no babysitting." The compact tool also has a 2-foot hose to help reach tight areas and a digital gauge for setting pressure and monitoring progress.
