Our Verdict

RYOBI 18V One+ 3 Gal. Project P3240

Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean+ Pet

The Black+Decker dustbuster AdvancedClean+ Pet and the RYOBI 18V One+ 3 Gal. Project P3240 are for different usage scenarios. The Black+Decker is a much smaller, considerably lighter handheld vacuum designed for household spot-cleaning tasks. It also comes with a turbo brush for dealing with pet hair on upholstered surfaces and has a longer maximum battery life of roughly half an hour. Meanwhile, the RYOBI is a dedicated shop vacuum with a remarkably strong suction force, enabling it to easily clear debris on most surfaces. It's wet-compatible, allowing you to clear liquid messes, and has a dustbin capacity that's almost twenty times that of the Black+Decker.
