Ryobi is coming out with 3 new 18V cordless wet/dry vacuums this year.
There will be a new compact 1-gallon vacuum, an updated 3-gallon vacuum, and an updated 6-gallon vacuum.
What I find most surprising is that two of the new vacuums are compatible with Ryobi’s LINK storage system. The two smaller vacuums are both compatible with Ryobi’s wall-mounted storage rails, and the 3-gallon vacuum is also compatible with their tool box system.
Ryobi 18V 1-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum (PCL733)
To start off, the PCL733 is Ryobi’s most compact and portable cordless wet/dry vacuum.

The dual speed setting is a feature not found on the preceding model (P770). At launch, this model will only cost $10 more than the P770.

Size Comparison
Here’s a “family photo” of all three vacuums to show their comparative sizes.
To reiterate, the 1-gallon and 3-gallon vacuums are both compatible with Ryobi LINK storage rails. The 3-gallon has cleats on the bottom for connecting on top of LINK tool boxes.
I have had good experiences with some of Ryobi’s 18V cordless vacuums, and less than ideal experiences with others. One thing that can be said is that Ryobi has different models for practically every type of application or user.
