Ryobi's 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Stick Vacuum costs about the same as Dyson's V8 Cyclone with a battery and charger, and less as the tool only for anyone who already has Ryobi batteries. It holds more dust and carries a longer warranty. Dyson's V8 Cyclone and V10 Konical quote higher suction figures and finer filtration.

Figures are from Ryobi's and Dyson's own product pages. Each maker measures suction its own way, so the air watt figures aren't directly comparable, and Dyson quotes run time in its lowest power mode. Prices were checked on 28 September 2026.
Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Stick Vacuum
Ryobi's HP Brushless stick has a brushless motor, an 800mL dust tank, an LED light on the floor head and a roller bar that Ryobi says is designed to reduce hair wrap and clicks out for cleaning. It stands up on its own, so it doesn't need a wall mount. The kit comes with a 4.0Ah battery and a charger, good for up to 55 minutes, and the same vacuum is sold as the tool only for people who already own Ryobi 18V batteries.
Bunnings shoppers rate the tool-only version 4.7 from 226 reviews. Ryobi quotes 90 air watts against Dyson's 150, and its filter is washable but isn't described as HEPA.
What We Like:
- Runs on Ryobi 18V batteries
- 800mL dust tank
- Up to six years' warranty
What We Don't Like:
- Lower suction figure
- Filter isn't HEPA
Dyson V8 Cyclone
Of the Dyson sticks The Good Guys sells online, the V8 Cyclone costs the least. It has 150 air watts on Dyson's figure, up to 60 minutes of run time and no trigger to hold down, and Dyson rates its filtration at 99.99 per cent of particles to 0.3 microns. It weighs 2.7kg with its battery, which can be swapped out.
It scores 4.8 at The Good Guys from 71 reviews. Its 0.54L bin is two-thirds the size of the Ryobi's, and the warranty is two years.
What We Like:
- 150 air watts
- No trigger to hold
- Swappable battery
What We Don't Like:
- 0.54L bin
- Two-year warranty
Dyson V10 Konical
Dyson's V10 Konical keeps the V8 Cyclone's suction and run time, and adds a floor head with two cone-shaped brush bars, which Dyson says are engineered to de-tangle hair up to 63cm long. It also has a light for spotting dust on hard floors and 0.1-micron HEPA filtration, and weighs 2.73kg.
The Good Guys' reviewers give it 4.7 from 55 reviews. It costs about $300 more than the V8 Cyclone at The Good Guys for the same suction figure, run time and bin size.
What We Like:
- Conical brush bars for long hair
- HEPA to 0.1 microns
- Dust-revealing light
What We Don't Like:
- About $300 more than the V8 Cyclone
- 0.54L bin
What actually differs
Warranty. Ryobi's 18V ONE+ tools carry a four-year replacement warranty, extended to six years if registered within 30 days, and its batteries and chargers three years. Dyson's machines carry a two-year guarantee.
Batteries. The Ryobi runs on any 18V ONE+ battery, the same battery as Ryobi's drills, trimmers and blowers, so owners of those can buy the vacuum as the tool only. Dyson's batteries only fit Dyson vacuums.
Suction and filtration. Dyson quotes 150 air watts for both models and filtration to 0.3 microns on the V8 Cyclone and 0.1 microns on the V10 Konical. Ryobi quotes 90 air watts, and says its washable filter traps 99.9 per cent of dust and allergens, without calling it HEPA.
Bin size. The Ryobi's 0.8L tank holds about half as much again as either Dyson's 0.54L bin.
Where to buy. Ryobi sells its tools through Bunnings, and its warranty registration asks for a Bunnings receipt. The Dysons here are sold by The Good Guys and Bing Lee.
Which suits which home
The Ryobi suits households that already own Ryobi 18V batteries, and anyone who wants the longest warranty and the bigger bin.
The V8 Cyclone suits buyers who want Dyson's suction and filtration at the lowest Dyson price.
The V10 Konical suits homes with long hair or pet hair that tangles around brush bars.
For homes with pets, Ryobi also sells a pet kit with two 4.0Ah batteries, a dual roller floor head and a mini powered brush.
FAQs
Is a Ryobi stick vacuum as good as a Dyson?
On the makers' figures, the Dysons quote higher suction and finer filtration, and the Ryobi has a bigger bin and a longer warranty. Owners rate both highly: 4.7 for the Ryobi at Bunnings and 4.8 for the V8 Cyclone at The Good Guys.
Do other Ryobi 18V batteries fit the stick vacuum?
Yes. It takes any battery from Ryobi's 18V ONE+ range, and run time depends on the battery's capacity: up to 55 minutes with a 4.0Ah battery fitted.
Which Dyson is cheapest?
At The Good Guys, the V8 Cyclone is the cheapest Dyson stick vacuum you can order online. The full range is compared in Dyson stick vacuums compared.
