If you're experiencing a loss of suction from your Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Stick Vacuum, it may be because the dust canister's rubber seal is dislodged or loose from position.
It's important that the canister seal is correctly seated, or is returned to position, with both canister springs external to the seal’s placement.
With the seal correctly returned to position and both canister springs external and visible to its placement, your vacuum should return to effective and efficient cleaning.
