Our Verdict

RYOBI PCL720K

Dyson V15 Detect

As is to be expected with the significant price difference, the Dyson V15 Detect provides better overall performance than the RYOBI 18V ONE+ PCL720K. The Dyson has a much easier time clearing away debris on hard floors and carpeting and is loaded with features: its automatic power adjustment system not only responds to changes in surface type but also to the quantity of debris being sucked up. The V15 also has a higher-capacity dustbin and comes with more tools and accessories. All of that being said, the RYOBI feels like a far more solidly built product. While the Dyson can also run a little longer on a single charge, the RYOBI's included 4Ah battery pack takes a lot less time to recharge.
