Three New Ryobi Tools for DIY Cleaning: Vacuum Mop and Two Power Cleaners

Introduction

Ryobi has quietly rolled out a trio of cordless cleaning tools that should land well with DIYers: a second-generation Swift Clean wet/dry vacuum mop, a portable 18V power cleaner, and a beefier 40V HP brushless version. Each one solves a different cleaning problem, from indoor floors to boats, RVs, and patio furniture.

Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Swift Clean Wet and Dry Vacuum Mop (2nd Gen)

The original Swift Clean Wet and Dry Vacuum Mop handled dirt and debris well, but it had one recurring complaint: streaks. Those streaks showed up especially when light came in through windows or sliding glass doors, apparently after the floor had dried rather than during mopping itself.

The 2nd gen looks set to address exactly that. Everything that made the first version easy to live with remains, including the self-cleaning charging stand: you dock the unit and it spins the roller clean while water flushes it out, which removes the messiest part of floor care.

The display shows a max clean mode, a wet/dry selector, and indicator lights, and the handle on top carries the water tank. It is built for households where messes happen constantly: pets, kids, dropped cereal, spilled milk. It offers 3-in-1 cleaning with a deep clean formula, fast mopping, and powerful suction.

It is rated for vinyl tile, vinyl plank, hardwood, and sealed floors, and it carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty. The self-cleaning charging stand is included with both purchase options.

The tool-only model is $349, while the kit with a 4Ah 18V battery and charger is $429. Availability is listed for July 2026.

Ryobi 18V 700 PSI Quick Connect Power Cleaner

This 18V power cleaner sits at 700 PSI with a flow of 0.8 gallons per minute, and its big trick is portability. You can drop the intake into a bottle of water, a bucket, a lake, or a pond, run a 20-ft siphon hose, or simply attach a standard garden hose.

That flexibility makes it genuinely useful away from home: boats, RVs, ATVs, bikes, shoes, and similar light-duty jobs. It ships with an extended wand and a 40-degree nozzle, and the quarter-inch quick-connect nozzle coupler makes it compatible with most pressure washer accessories.

Pricing comes in at $129 for the tool only, or $189 for the kit with a 4Ah battery. If you are already deep into the Ryobi 18V battery system, the tool-only route is the obvious pick.

Ryobi 40V HP Brushless 1000 PSI Quick Connect Power Cleaner

The 40V HP version steps power up to 1,000 PSI and adds a brushless motor, aimed at slightly tougher jobs: boats, patios, and vehicles. It offers max and eco modes, giving you a balance between cleaning force and runtime.

Runtime is quoted at over 30 minutes with a 40V 6Ah battery, which is not included. The tool-only price is $189, and the kit with a 2Ah 40V battery is $259.

It uses the same quick-connect philosophy, so swapping accessories stays simple. For jobs where 700 PSI feels a bit light, this is the step up.

Buying Advice: Which One Makes Sense for You?

If your pain point is indoors, the Swift Clean 2nd Gen is the clear choice, and the kit version saves you hunting for a battery if you do not already own one. If you are already in the 18V system, the 700 PSI cleaner is a cheap, flexible add-on for outdoor gear. If you want more cleaning force for patios and vehicles, the 40V 1000 PSI model earns its higher price, though remember the kit battery is a 2Ah and the longer runtimes come from buying a 6Ah separately.

Conclusion

All three tools share the same idea: battery-powered cleaning that skips the buckets, cords, and hassle. The vacuum mop targets daily household messes, while the two power cleaners cover portable outdoor cleaning at two power levels. Pick by where the mess lives and which battery system you already own.
