Very good blower light in weight and easy to use, you need a second battery
I like how it works easy to set up no messing abou
Powerful piece of equipment. Easy to use and extremely light to hang. More than recommend this machine for any home garden.
I have quite a few Ryobi tools but was hesitant to buy a leaf blower as strangely I enjoy raking the leaves. Due to a busy period I thought I would buy one and give it a go, afterall it can always be returned. It arrived shortly before I was about to get ready for work but I thought I would try it out.
I was really surprised how strong the blowing was (I’m sure there’s a better way of explaining that). After a few minutes the leaves were all blown to the hedge ready for picking up. The leaves were very wet but the blower had no problem with them. Had I had more time, I’m sure it would have cleared every last leaf although they’re still coming down. It was also useful for blowing the leaves of the top of the hedge back on to the County Councils land. The photos show a before and after (5 minutes). If like me your in two minds, give it a go
Cleared leaves from front and back garden with ease, controllable switch makes the job easer, very happy with this product, I used a 5ah battery and it was powerful, didn’t try it with less ah battery
Surprisingly powerful, but nowhere near as good as my 2.5kW WORX WG518E blower (which I highly recommend). This one is excellent for a quick clear up on the drive and paths but I wouldn’t try to clear the leaves off the lawn with it. My 4Ah battery only drops one bar over a week with a few minutes use every day.
Bought a leaf blower to have a no-touch dry method for my motorbike and it’s hard to reach spaces. As we have the One+ battery it made sense to buy a Ryobi. After researching the different models, this one with the removable nozzle and the speed control trigger was the best fit for my needs.
Yes it clears away any leaves in the garden but it dry’s the bike and car beautifully.
The battery life has given me well over 30minutes continuous use which is all I need but there wasn’t any lag so I’m sure it could go on for longer quite easily.
It is noisy as all leaf blowers are and the dogs find it amusing to have their mouths and body blown around too 🙂 …
Happily recommend it.
I was completely blown away by this product.

Works fine and blows leaves as well as bringing garden fires to lif
I purchased mine via the Amazon warehouse program. It cost me sub 35. So my review whilst favorable is also cost bias.
It’s light weight. The trigger is a helpful feature. Enables control of piling leaves for mass collection. Rather than setting at max or nothing.
I have a tree heavy garden and substantial rose bushes. We get a lot of leaves and flower heads fall and this makes collection in one a breeze.
I also use it to clear the drive of leaves, rubbish and weeds once easily pulled from place.
I’m over the moon with this tool
I wanted a cordless blower to clear leaves and debris around the garden, and chose this one to add to my Ryobi One+ collection. It’s lightweight and comfortable to use. I have purchased a 5ah battery to extend the running time and actually increase the power slightly. A very good addition to my growing collection!
It blows leaves, not too noisy and not too heavy.
Full force is more than strong enough for most home garden uses.
Pleased that I had the battery with another hedge cutte
light and easy to use, but still gives a good blow to gather the leaves. Battery could last a bit longer. More prudent to have a spare battery to complete large jobs in one go.
Lightweight powerful and very sturdy. Ideal for around the house
No dislikes
Good value for money as I already have spare battery
Great value for money, very powerful, and does the job easily.
I bought the battery and charger which fits my other Ryobi garden tools mower, trimmer etc so it saves having different models of other equipment and several different battery chargers etc.
Would recommend to anyone, very good value overall
I was a little worried as has not got too reviews – but I needed have been! Great blower, controllable & works well on my pebble paths
my kids love this that’s how easy to use it is but i will say you need a good battery 2.5 amp don’t last long i brought the 5 amp for this tool and since then more power and las
Does the Job of keeping the decking clear of leaves, twigs & even kids toys!
I’m a professional gardener I needed something round my own garden what wasn’t big and bulky and it is a really good piece of ki
Excellent product – easy to use, lightweight and variable speed control from the trigge
Using it for gutter cleaning to, powerful. Great, in a word
Ah, I love my new leaf blower. I use to dust off the entire house once a week. Leaves are no more an issue, grass clippings on the patio are a thing of the past, and most importantly its lightweight and pretty powerful. Yes, would’ve been amazing if it also had a vac feature with a bag attached but for what it is. Its quite good.

I like the fact that as with all Ryobi one+ products they are all compatible with the same battery and charging system
It’s very compact but gets through a 5ah battery very quickly indeed. Despite its thirst for battery it’s not all that powerful, if you try and blow wet leaves or grass you’ll really struggle, which will have a further impact on your battery life (maybe 10 minutes at full power?). For a quick tidy up after mowing and edging it’s perfect though, which is what I use it for. This is definetly not going to replace your petrol blower.

Great garden blower. Lightweight and easy to use. Ideal partner for the Ryobi strimmer.
Little bit heavy with a 5ah battery. However most blowers are.
Really good power from a compact unit great for cleaning anything really (leaves, dust on patio/deck, water on car) solid purchase.
Really impressed with this. Bought it as a back up to my petrol blower, obviously not as powerful but really quick and easy
Well that was more powerful than I expected 🙂 think I bought the wrong one for my granite chip path as it easily blew that away. Now using this one for driveway and decking as pulls wet leaves off and then purchased the other version as well with more volume and less power.
really pleased and great value if you already have a couple of batteries.
If you need battery buy the biggest as it goes through them really quickly and get a fast charge

I bought this as a ‘bare’ tool as I already had a couple of 18v Ryobi batteries for a power drill, so it made it a cheaper purchase for me.
I live within the ‘fallout zone’ of a 200+ year old oak tree (plus other assorted species) so every autumn my garden and drive get a regular covering of leaves, seeds, etc. The Ryobi leaf blower made quick work of blowing the leaves, etc, from the lawn, drive and borders and I was very pleased with the performance it gave me.
I would recommend the Ryobi OBL 18JB for general domestic use in small to medium gardens, however for larger areas the18v lithium battery might prove a bit short on run time – obviously more powerful batteries are available from the same manufacturer.

Very comfortable to hold and easy to operate. Very powerful for a hand held battery operated blower. Variable power is controlled simply by pressure on the trigger – simple and straightforward – there are no other controls other than the trigger on this tool. The blower appears sturdy and well made. Running time on a (rechargeable) 18v lithium battery is around 15/20 minutes depending on amount of power employed during use.

Bought on the amazon day offers, works great, more power than I expected.
Lightweight and easy to use one handed. Sensitive trigger so easy to control air strength from a light breeze to a strong wind – perfect for leaf blowing.
It is really good as works with my drill battery and blows away all the leaves!
As all Ryobi kit, very very good. Good price and if you have the big battery does the job magnificently.
For blowing leaves as I
Have so many trees in the garden.i am impressed
I bought this blower as I have a number of Ryobi tools in the ONE+ series. It works very well and is quite powerful.
No more mains lead is a bonus too. Like most of the other tools I have in this series I use the 5Ah battery which obviously gives a longer usage time but of course doesn’t make the tool any more effective. It’s a good piece of kit.

It does fly though the batteries fairly quickly, so I am grateful that I have a couple of 5amp batteries to keep it going.
To summarize, like most Ryobi tools its a perfectly workable, no frills solution to getting the job done. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget.

Only given 1star for auction as this is only a blower.. Order 4pm arrived 12:30pm next day !
Very light and great responsive trigger. I have used it 4 times with a 5amph battery for approx 10mins at a time and there is still a decent charge in the battery.
good size, light, and simple to use, thought it may have been a bit more powerful but it is OK
This is a fantastic leaf blower with a powerful blast when the trigger is fully down. Turns an hour long job with a brush into a 10 minute tidy up. Use a 5Ah battery and get 35-40 mins use at full power, expect a lot of noise on this setting so choose carefully the time/day!
Best leaf blower I’ve used. Saved a lot of tieme and hassle.
almost as good as a petrol blower, less than half the weight and trouble
Great easy to use piece of kit.
Battery life is not fantastic so I would recommend purchasing spare batteries.
As previous reviewers have said it does eat batteries. I got 5 mins of use from each of my 1.3 amp batteries and 20 minutes from a 5 amp. Lightweight, easy to use, made clearing leaves a lot easier.
Great product and price if you have the batteries already..I use it to clear footpaths after I cut the grass and is ideal for job..
Simple and relatively powerful – this is my 2nd purchase, this time for my mum
