Ryobi P2108A ONE+ 100 mph 280 CFM 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Jet Fan Blower - Battery and Charger Not Included

This is such a handy, fun, useful little tool. We have a big gas powered blower for big leaf jobs, which will tackle things like damp leaf buildup, leaves trapped in hosta beds or ivy beds, etc.--this blower does NOT do those jobs. However, it is GREAT for keeping walkways, driveways, barn aisles, patios, and other hard surface areas neat and tidy in a fraction of the time of sweeping. It will also a decent job of blowing fairly dry leaves out of trees/bushes/etc. or into a pile, although I'd keep that for smaller areas--you're better off with a more powerful blower for big projects.Our property is covered in trees, mostly old oak trees, and they drop tons of leaves, acorns, and other debris--I absolutely do not have time to sweep every day, but it's fun, fast, and easy to pull this out and blow off the main areas in 5-10 minutes whenever I get the urge. It really feels like a new toy, so light and easy to use, and so pleasing to see the neat results. It's so fun that my 9 year old son also used it frequently this fall to clear the walkways and driveway, and tried to claim this tool as his own. Please note, this blower does NOT come with any batteries, so I ordered the 2 battery pack and charging kit to go with it, which means that I can always keep one battery charging while the other is in use. Each battery lasts about 10-15 minutes, which is more than enough to do the little jobs this blower is meant for, and I can use my back-up battery if I get carried away using it all over the yard. I wish I'd gotten this years ago!

Short story: appears to be the most powerful blower within the 18v Ryobi ONE+ system, and if you already have batteries for that system and need a blower that is capable of clearing leaves, brush, and grass clippings of a hardscape for clearing a patio, or cleaning up driveway edges after mowing and string trimming the lawn, then this is a perfect tool. Would NOT attempt to blow an entire lawn worth of leaves or do heavier duty work with it; it is not maximum power. Bang for the buck is worth it.Long story: I inherited some tools and batteries in the Ryobi ONE+ system when I bought my first house, and so with every new power tool purchase I consider staying in-brand. Specifically, since adding a couple 3amp lithium ion batteries to the system I've got the ability to work all day effectively uninterrupted with a constant cycle of charges. I have a very powerful corded electric blower that is a pain to deal with due to extension cord coiling and uncoiling, and I sought a more convenient way to touch up my driveway and roadside after mowing and string trimming, as well as to clear the small amount of leaves and such that land on my patio and driveway. I saw this listing, which oddly boasts the product at a price point $30 lower than Home Depot (even without the battery). I then read reviews and saw that if you want true "gasoline power" from an electric system, you really need to upgrade to a 40 or 60v system. Price points for those look in the $200-300 range for one tool plus a battery/charger. Being as I already had perfectly functional gasoline and twin-cycle lawn tools for almost all other applications, I thought it would be wasteful to go all-out for a brand new system. Likewise, I did want to avoid buying another fossil fuel dependent machine if I could. I bought this unit with crossed fingers that it would be powerful enough. For MY purposes, it is! It clears fresh grass clippings, acorns, scattered leaves, and reasonably dried dirt that hasn't caked-on without issue, resulting in pristinely clean hardscapes. Turned to turf lines of mulched grass, if the grass is not soaking it will effectively scatter this mulch. I only have a 3amp battery (I think the battery-included version comes with 4amp) and it gave me a good 10 minutes of use (trigger pulled full strength probably 3/4 of the time). It is VERY light, ergonomic, easy to use, and meets my purposes perfectly. I do not see any flaws in the product, within the limitations of its power as advertised. Do recommend if you are in a similar scenario.

This Ryobi P2108A ONE+ 100 mph 280 CFM 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Jet Fan Blower is lighter than the otherwise excellent corded one it was purchased to replace,p. This one is much easier to use for that, as well as because there is no inconvenience in dragging and repositioning a long, heavy cord around, no tripping over said cord and so forth. It makes the job of clearing leaves from collection points like sunken pathways and places where leaves pile yo around back entrances, etc. though I mow / mulch the leaves that fall on the lawn, we live in the woods, and the lawn is only a small patch of grass in a larger wooded yard. I find this jet fan blower to be useful and significantly more convenient than the corded one it replaces.

We use this handy little tool to blow leaf and grass debris from our pool deck. The backpack blower we already had is just overkill for our new space. This compact and lightweight battery one is excellent for what we need now. We went with this brand because my husband already had several tools and batteries by Ryobi, so the batteries we had were compatible with this blower. It is lightweight and easy to maneuver, very compact for the power it has, and perfect for light jobs. The only drawback I have found is that sometimes it pulls my shirt towards the air intake if I get the blower too close to my body while I’m using it. This isn’t really a negative at all. It doesn’t hurt my shirt and the blower is unaffected, but if someone had strings hanging off their clothes or anything loose, like a drawcord on their shirt or shorts, it may get caught in the air intake below the handle of the blower (under where the battery clicks in)

We purchased the Ryobi P2108A and I have used it through two battery chargings. My feedback is as follows.We purchased the ANTRobut 5.0Ah 18V Replacement Battery and Ryobi P118 Lithium Ion Dual Chemistry Battery Charger as the blower did not include these. The battery seems to take about three hours to recharge after the initial charging and use. The blower has a variable speed control so you can control the amount of air flow therefore only using as much power as it takes to move the debris. We are using it predominantly to blow leaves from our gravel driveway and walkways. As the speed is variable I would estimate that I only need to press the trigger about 40% to blow the leaf debris without blowing away the small crushed stones, which average ½” x ¾” in size. My estimate of the use time per charge is 30 minutes. We’re only using it to clear our gravel and paved drives and walks. We don’t use it for the lawn as that’s what a rake is for. I was apprehensive as to its ability meet our needs, but after today I am very happy with its performance, weight (not tiring at all to use), and charge/run time. Again, we are using it to blow dried leaves from gravel walkways and driveways, not lawns. Run time per charge is acceptable and overall we really like this blower.
