I already had a leaf blower but actually with so many leaves blowing them is not enough so purchased this, and it’s very good.
Brushless so you’ll know it’ll last a long time all being well.
It’s a little stiff when you try to put it together but once sorted you’ll appreciate the effort.
Very powerful, and the extra temporary power button is great for some slightly heavier items, twigs etc.
I used a 4ah battery and it lasted about 20 minutes so plenty of juice to get done what you need to do.
I was sceptical that a battery powered leaf sucker/blower would be powerful enough for my medium sized garden, but as long as you don’t try to sick up too much at once this thing is really really good.
Picks up dry leaves very well with plenty of suction
Not good on large accumulations of wet leaves since it clogs and is a nuisance to disassemble and clear
Individual and small accumulations of wet leaves OK
Useful if used regularly to keep paths etc clear
I find the zip bag a bit awkward and would prefer and easier clip on/off system for this since emptying whilst attached to unit is not that easy
This blower-vac works well and is light enough to use without the shoulder strap. However it was very difficult to assemble.. instructions could be clearer almost gave up and was prepared to return it.. persisted and got there eventually!
Whilst the goods appear to be ok after initial trial I wish to complain at the fact that the delivery – man merely left the items on our doorstep without advising us !!>??XX!! My wife and I were at home and our doorbell was in working order as our neighbour used it to inform us that the goods were outside !!! ??||ZZXX11
As with all One+ tools it’s very convenient to have an interchangeable power system. It was easy to assemble, but some parts needed a bit brute force to join up. Operation was straight forward. The only down side was the mouth of the feed pipe. It was too large to reach under or behind bushes. This means having to blow the leaves out and chase them around the garden. An extra attachment, like you get on vacuum cleaners would be helpful.
A bit disappointing plenty of power but when it blocks it’s a complete pain in the A**** shreddings need to drop straight down into the debris bag

Battery not included needed information of what type of battery needed
This is my 4th One Plus Ryobi tool. I already had the cordless drill, hedge trimmer and lawn strimmer.
The garden vacuum/ blower is a well made tool like the other tools in the range. I bought the bare unit without the battery and charger. I already have two 4ah batteries and a charger.
I’m very pleased with the tool. It does what it says on the box and vacuums up leaves, mulching them up into the attached bag. I’ve made do with a corded garden vacuum for a few years now and this cordless Ryobi version knocks spots off my old one. So much lighter to use without losing power.
I would recommend this tool to gardeners.
I have only used it twice and it has worked well. Both blowing and suction was adequate for my small garden. It would probably have problems with a larger one. After clearing the front of leaves, there was still a bit more power left on the battery
A little on the large side but does the job very well
I went into this purchase expecting disappointment and was left surprised – it’s pretty good.
I already own a petrol vac/blower which I used exclusively in vacuum mode and the Ryobi has only half the suction power of that and you don’t want to go near wet leaves with the Ryobi, however, the 18V battery vac is half the weight, half the noise and odourless. The plus side to the lower vacuum strength than the petrol is you don’t end up vacuuming pebbles, garden ornaments, bulbs and kicking up a dust storm.
If you leave off the wheels you can get a fantastic sweeping motion going across lawns and the supplied strap is a blessing when the bag fills.
I also own the 18V jet blower and the vac-blower’s output is somewhere between that and the standard old Ryobi leafblower, not hurricane power but a controlled blade of air you’ll soon get the hang of.
Do yourself a favour and get the 9Ah battery – 160 GBP/188 EUR free delivery from Ryobi. Amazon/eBay don’t have them at present.
Well I’m not sure what the negatives are really. Not too bad with noise level considering the suction power. Its cleaned my garden up in around 10-15 minutes. The leaves and small twigs are now dust. Was easy enough to assemble, 5 mins tops. Bag was a bit more fiddly. Didnt need the manual. I have a lot of Ryobi stuff and used a 5Amp battery but didnt even take it down in 15 minutes by one bar. Job done. Mind you I’m not sucking up wet oak or chestnut leaves bigger than the pipe so I dont know full performance. But for those I’d probably blow not suck to a pile and pick up. Technique is everything. Didnt scare the dogs or neighbours. Didnt find it heavy until full but thats the leaves weight Im sure. Cant change physics !!
I use this for my volunteer work in the garden outside my flat worked well gathering the leaves
Works very well and the wheels take a lot of the effort out of using it.
Funktioniert einwandfrei mit einem 6AH Accu hab ich fast zwei mal den Beutel vollgesaugt auch nasse Bltter vom Boden kein Problem. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt die gehckselten Bltter bleiben in dem Stoff etwas hngen beim ausschtte
Only one complaint. If leaves are damp , it gets blocked. Problem with living around trees
Excellent service,it arrived on time , the item is working perfectly well
ait il une obligation de dmonter le sac de rcupration des dchs car c’est un calvaire de le remettre en place es que vous le vendez en pice dtache ce sac avec sa fixatio
Liked the weight but the changeover leaver between suck & blow gets stiff & Clogged at the slightest damp leaves.
Liked the product overall.
This is a very strong garden vac… it was able to easily clear my lawn of fallen leaves etc within just a few minutes of using. It mulches the leaves as it suck them up, meaning you can easily and quickly empty the bag directly onto the compost heap!
The adjustable shoulder strap and little wheels underneath take up the weight of the unit, so you just need to push it in the direction you want to go. I have used this with a 4AH battery and it lasted for the whole gardening session!
I highly recommend this product.
I now have 6 Ryobi tolls, this one is brilliant, easy to use with plenty of power, keeps the patio clean and tidy. The waste bag is well made and collects the shredded leaves etc well.
Mein Nachbar war neidisch und hat sich auch einen gekauft…
Does exactly what was described. Its a bit annoying buying the battery and charger separately, but once you have it seems very robus
Like the easy way to take it out of the shed and use
1 Stern Abzug fr die Powertaste ergonomisch nicht gelungen, das kann Ryobi eigentlich besser.
Sonst Top Gert wie bissher alle Ryobi Gerte.
Produit achet pour l’aspiration des dchets de feuillage dans la cour et le soufflage des feuilles dans le jardin avant ramassage. Pratique l’emploi et conomique l’achat si l’on possde dj le systme de chargeur et batterie pour d’autres appareils de la marque Ryobi. Efficace au soufflage, l’aspiration et au broyage pour un usage normal. Appareil lgrement bruyant. L’aspiration et le broyage des feuilles en priode automnale est encore constater et valuer !
Bonne appareil, j’avais dja pas mal de la gamme Ryobi, d’ou mon choix pour les (5 Ah) batteries et la qualite des produits en gneral.
Seuls bemols, la couture du sac tait defaite ( mal cousue mais pres de la tirete .
J’ai desirer le renvoyer mais ma femme a essayer de le recoudre mais vus l’endroit, ca ne tient pas ( si Ryobi me lit…..un petit geste serait sympa avec l’envoi d’un sac et je serai le plus heureux dans la gamme ryobi
Autrement, appareil ergonomique , pas trop lourd, de bonne qualitee et d’aspiration satisfaisante et au minimum batterie 5ah pour suivre la puissance d’aspiration .
A conseiller…. vraiment ( a part le bemol du sac) .
Manque un peu de puissance mais il ne faut pas en demander de trop un appareil batterie.
It took me ages to figure this out. As you apply the bag you must engage the lip as shown on the wide shot above. (seen on the second closer pic) Then you pull it back to engage the final grey clip seen at the back of the bag. It’s a very tight fit but it does work.
Entspricht genau meinen Anforderungen, super Teil, sehr handlich.
Nachtrag, der Reiverschluss von Laubfangsack ist ein Schwachpunkt schon nach sechs Monate defekt.
Schnelle Einsatzbereitschaft, verwende ihn fr Stiegenabgnge, wo sich fters Laub ansammelt.
Having said that, it isn’t great with wet leaves because they end up in a shredded mass around the edge of the fan/cutter mechanism, which I found heading cleaning each time I emptied the bag.
It’s also quite heavy – not like a main/petrol garden vac, but still quite a weight, especially when the bag is full.
But the main thing is that it works, and it works pretty well. Better than I was expecting, in fact.
Trockenes und leicht feuchtes Laub sind kein Problem
Man muss nur behutsam vorgehen und nicht zuviel auf einmal einsaugen. Die Rder und die “MAX” Funktion helfen beim Arbeiten. Der 2 Ah Akku reicht fr kleinere Flchen, mit 5 Ah ist die Arbeit sehr lang mglich.
Bitte immer bedenken: Das Gert ist mobil und mit Akku!
Better than another brand in that you can access the cutting fan if it gets clogged. Powerful enough for me as by the time the battery has run out I have had enough anyway. Good suction without being so strong is sucks up earth!
Ryobi herrscht als Handsauger, Akkuschrauber….. im Haushal
La batterie 4Ah tient assez longtemps.
Formidabile , io ho un piccolo giardino di 150 mq e con una batteria ho riempito il sacco, aspira benissimo e foglie dimensione lauro fotinia vengono aspirate anche senza la funzione MAX.
Ho vari elettroutensili Ryobi e non mi hanno mai deluso, prossimi acquisti saranno tagliaerba e tagliabordi.
Eliminare la prolunga un sogno che si avvera.
Positiv:
– Top-Verarbeitung
– Einfach zu montieren
– Akku (5 Ah) reicht sehr (!) lange
– verglichen mit anderen Gerten ist der Fangsack leicht abzunehmen und wieder anzubringen
Negativ:
– die Saugleistung knnte besser sein. Ein Elektrosauger einer Billigfirma zieht deutlich mehr ein
Wartet man nicht wie ich bis alles voller Bltter und kleiner ste ist kann man mit dem Sauger mal eben schnell alles subern. Man berfordert ihn aber schneller als andere. Bltter sollten auf keinen Fall nass sein, dann drfte er recht schnell aufgeben und verstopft sein.
Da ich ihn mir mal eben schnappen, einen Akku einsetzen und losmarschieren kann um in ein paar Minuten alles sauber zu machen ist der Laubsauger fr mich die richtige Wahl. Ich habe schon einige Produkte von Ryobi im Einsatz und bin sowohl vom Konzept als auch der Qualitt berzeugt und wrde alles wieder so machen, daher von meiner Seite eine klare Empfehlung trotz kleiner Abstriche.
Das Gert ist bei trockenem Wetter sehr gut nutzbar.
Bei feuchtem Wetter leider nicht gut nutzbar.
