What is the suction Air Watts?

All I can advise are the following specs:
1. The operating power supply is 18V DC
2. The current draw (specified on the serial No. plate on the vacuum cleaner quotes 7.5 amps
3. Under Ohm's Law the Power rating would be 135 Watts
4. The air-flow rate of 14.1 litres/sec,
(specified by Ryobi (https://www.ryobi.com.au/products/details/18v-one-hand-vac-dry-only-chv182g).
5. An obvious constraint to air flow is the small cross-sectional area of the inlet side of the suction tube.
I measure that as 1.1cm2. The effective cross-sectional area might be slightly less than that due to the brush
component of the inlet tube.
Other than that, I cannot advise you. I am not an electrical engineer. Nor am I conversant with fluid dynamics.

Anyone have the same problem I have with this vacuum cleaner? The dust flap has somehow disintegrated and allows any collected dirt to fall back out of the dust retainer once the machine has been switched off! Seemed to work okay for what is was purchased for in the beginning, but I wouldn't say it's had a great deal of use. Hopefully a spare part is available and there's more to come on this aspect from Bunnings!

Further to the above.....Approaches to Bunnings to obtain a replacement part wasn't the most productive - they told me Ryobi had no part (dust flap) available! After contacting Ryobi, I was told the information from Bunnings was incorrect and the part I was looking for WAS available. Ryobi sent a replacement part - free of charge - directly to me for the inconvenience I was put through by Bunnings. The very reason I intend to stick with Ryobi in the tool buying department. You can't ask for better customer service or relations than that - and their entry level tools seem to be the best out of the cheaper brands.

Have a handheld vacuum which is a great tool. However, the filter has become very hard and I need a replacement. Bunnings unhelpful. Can I purchase a new filter on line?

Hello. Im sorry I have no idea. You might ger the info from their website. However I'd caution against buying one. It's a very poor performer. I don't use other at all. Worst ryobi tool ever

Amperes x Volts = Watts
Therefore 18V x 1.3A = 23.4W in a 1.3A hour battery. Larger capacity batteries are available.

This Is more of a handy vac for spills etc. If you are doing floors etc you will need a stick vac at minimum.

Only suitable for small jobs I would say. Like picking up cat hair etc

Not sure - I haven't had to purchase a replacement yet. I bought my Ryobi Vac at Bunnings, so I'd give them a call first to ask!

The only item I've been able to find that looks right is Ryobi part number A32VC04 at $4, unfortunately can't find any UK stockist and postage cost stop me taking a gamble on it as it's listed for the P712 a similar looking vac.
