Our Verdict
Dyson V8
RYOBI PCL720K
The Dyson V8 is more well-rounded than the RYOBI 18V ONE+ PCL720K. The Dyson weighs considerably less, can be bundled with a much bigger assortment of tools and accessories, makes less noise while running, and delivers marginally better performance on carpeted floors. However, the RYOBI feels much more solidly built, and when used with a 4Ah battery, can run for more time on a charge while taking a lot less time to recharge.
