This is the best compact blower ever. I know that it is described as a shop blower but my wife and I have two large patios in our backyard and we us it to keep the patio clean and it's just great I had to purchase a second one for my shop after my wife fell in love with it. The only thing I would like to see changed on this blower is that the nozzle needs to be about 18 inches longer so you don't have to bend over that's for tall people when using it

.Great tool for light debris clearing.

Great for smaller light weight dry debris. Great for clearing grass clippings off sidewalk or dry light weight debris from porches and garage floors etc. This blower has worked great for clearing debris from the bed of my truck. More blower power would be needed for heavier damp/wet yard debris. Awesome light weight cordless blower.

Awesome compact blower! Buy..buy

I love this compact blower! My wife uses it including my 82 year neighbor to do his driveway. I use it to clean my deck, garage, 60 feet of driveway, interlocking and lawnmower. It will blow dry leaves (large/small), grass, sand, pea gravel, crush stones, dry dirt and sawn dust without any issue. It uses a lot of battery when you have it on high-4 amps battery will address the problem. It is so convenient without having to pull out the extension cord. I will highly recommend buying the blower!

Blown Away

Bought over two months ago and still loving it. I use this vacuum every time I wash my vehicle to help get water out of all crevices prior to drying. Takes a lot of time away from me having to hand dry my rims especially. Plenty of power.

Does the job

I bought this to blow the debris from a 2000 square foot storage building. I chose this blower because of its ratings and because I already had another battery for it. As expected, it is not nearly as powerful as a gasoline blower, but it does have sufficient power to clean out my building with two battery charges. This blower does what I bought it to do, so I am quite pleased with it.

Great for shop use!

I had hesitated on this purchase as the price was a little high, and I was pretty happy with my corded shop blower, but boy am I glad I finally broke down and bought this! The three speed settings are great! At low speed its great for blowing sawdust off and out of tools without sending it flying everywhere, dusting tool boxes, and blowing off electronics. The higher speeds are great for chasing dust out of corners and from under mobile tool bases or from under my table saw. It is fantastic for blowing off my ridgid vacuum filters. This is much easier to control than using compressed air or a leaf blower. I have not used it on a project yet, but I think its going to be very handy for blowing off sanding dust as well.

Handy and then some!

Great little blower. Most blowers can be too big and too powerful for small jobs. This blower fills the gap. It is one of the handiest tools I have seen. It will blow the dust and shavings off of your workbench without blowing away everything else. The three-speed selector makes it adaptable to any situation.

Just perfect & lightweight, in my opinion. Love it!

When I ordered the compact blower, I thought is was larger than showing in the photos. I had a larger Ryobi blower previously which I really liked the size. However; I have found that I prefer this smaller sized blower. I also liked that it has three settings on this compact blower. The size is just right and light weight. I am 5' 2" tall and it is easier for me to handle.

Lightweight with great features, love the variable speed feature.

This is perfect for blowing off a small deck, I also use it to clean and blow off the grass on my push golf cart after a round of golf and before i put the cart into the car. If you have a large area, this might be to small. I have the larger Ryobi for those jobs. I Love Ryobi products. I have the drill, jigsaw, nail gun, flashlight. bluetooth radio, push mower, weed edger, and 2 leaf blowers, ( small and larger ) All are 18 volt

light weight with decent power

the blower is light weight and has more power than the competition. i bought this unit as i was tired of constantly busting out the extension cord for the electric model i have and weaving around trying to not damage anything or trip on the cord. the ryobi is as powerful as my corded unit maybe slightly stronger. the ryobi is not as powerful as my gas unit. however, my gas unit is heavy and some days can be difficult to start. so far i am very happy with my blower unit. it does blow harder than a black and decker blower
