My vacuum is grinding, replaced the belt. What else could it be?
Good question. I haven’t had any issues with mine and haven’t even heard of this issue. Check on our forum as I know some of the people own that vacuum and might be able to help you out.
Same issue with mine. Replaced the belt and something going on. I noticed what looked like a small plastic piece that probably acted as the belt tensioner had broke off. NOW WHAT? I can not find the roller head anywhere. Help.
Have you had any issues with charging the battery? Just purchased the vac and had it on charge for 12+ hours and it still wasn’t fully charged. Returned to Home Depot and exchanged for same. Have it on charge now and after 1 hour the battery is still flashing at the same level as when I plugged it in.
I haven’t had any issues. Are you charging via the wall or battery charger? I know if you use the black battery charger, it takes a long time. If you use their green battery charger, it’s about an hour or sooner for a charge.
The filter for the Ryobi cordless is horrible. I can’t even vacuum 5 minutes before I need to clean the filter. The dirt container doesn’t hardly ever get anything in it custom filter always seems to get stopped up with dust! ? I loved the convenience of having a cordless vacuum cleaner but I wasted my money on this one!!
Getting a cordless stick vacuum will be lifesaving. I hope it’s as awesome for me as it is for you. I will let my parents know about the vacuum it’ll save them a lot of trouble. Thanks.
I got the Ryobi Stick Vacuum and is has been good so far with little to no problems. Great review
I am trying to choose between the ryobi stick vacuum and the ryobi handheld vacuum. Does the stick vacuum conveniently convert to a handheld vacuum?
I purchased a Ryobi stick vacuum in late December to deal with dog hair and winter debris in the house as a quick way to keep from buying a new larger vacuum. Worked great for a week and then the beater bar froze up. Dirt got in around the drive mechanism and melted the driver. Was replaced under warranty. Fine. Now I have a problem with dog hair wrapping around the bearing and seizing up. Was told to send in under warranty. This does not solve the problem. Do you not have parts for this product to fix it ? I need a roller bar only and another piece and we can be up and running. I have 7 other pieces of Ryobi tools and have not had problem one in over 10 years use.
The grinding issue is real, I’ve been through two complete units, Ryobi has been good about replacing them, as well as two different heads, again Ryobi has been good about replacing them, while in warranty, which I am now out of. Replacing the belt does nothing to eliminate or reduce the grinding. The unit works great but is useless as a long-term tool. I have stuck with Ryobi because of the ability to use the same battery, but I’m giving up on it. It is a lousy investment. By the way it doesn’t get abused or overused.
