RYOBI - 18 Volt ONE+ cordless vacuum blower and shredder - Brushless - 201km/h - OBV18, Black

Another great Ryobi product, this garden vac was a replacement for an old corded vac.It’s light weight, easy to use and of course because it’s battery, no cable to snag up or run out of cable.Suction power is good and the bag holds plenty of leaves and garden rubbish

Iam a big ryobi fan and already have quite a collection so buying this with confidence was quite easy. It's a great tool and since having it has made my life a lot easier .it's strong and very well made ,good power and gets job done no more rake and shovel for leaves ,falling flower heads during summer blossoming etc does a clean fast job and not a chore.i use heavy duty batteries on most of my ryobi tools to give plenty of power which is key I believe to cordless working properly and to it's best.so I would recommend this as it's not too heavy either and easy to empty bag .

This has good suction, but it can get blocked easily if large items cannot pass by the cutter/fan.It's a bit of a pain to assemble, and if you need to dissemble for storage/unblocking it's a faff.Overall good, bust as with most suction/blowers quite heavy and unwieldy.

I used a fully charged 5.0a battery and found the vacuum weaker than expected...struggled to pick up broad leaves and if picking up heaps of small leaves , it easily chokes up ...I had to disassemble & clear it twice within 20 mins of starting.The blower is adequate. Once I'd got used to the capabilities & limitations of the machine I had no further problems. My wife indoors found it quite noisy.

I received the tool with high hopes due to the other tools I have from Ryobi. I was very disappointed.It was relatively straight forward to put together.Once started, it picked up a handful of leaves quickly and then became unable to pick up anything. After 15 minutes struggling to detach the flute to see if there was a block, a small amount of chopped leaves fell out. I started again, and no more than 30 minutes later it happened again.Leaves were dry and no compacted.A very poor tool - a shame - and makes me think twice about using Ryobi again.Should have watched the YouTube videos first - not the first to find this by all accounts.

Good suction, but wouldn't use on wet material, but happy with dry performance.4-5.5Ah batteries are best (are their higher available?), as they drain pretty quickly if you have a large area.I like the lever so you don't have to grip the trigger for long periods and the boost function does help.Once you have the bag attachment method worked out its pretty easy, but its not immediately apparent and could do with a redesign.

Fallen leaves are very rarely bone dry and of very varying sizes. With this device as soon as you approach a fairly thick layer of leaves, the unit blocks on the exit from the fan to the bag. Removal of the two black tubes is not easy (nor is reassembly after clearing the pipe out) and required frequently. Frankly when you have done this a couple of times, you might as well get a rake, as the time taken disassembling and then putting the unit back together is very lengthy and awkward. It does manage a very light dusting of small leaves, and will pick up from gravel paths quite well but nothing more than that..

My husband has loads of Ryobi kit but needed/wanted this leaf blower. Been used several times for far and it is a succsess. Not too heavy to handle
