Expert Review

Ryobi Mulching Blower Vac RESV1300

Date Published: 6/5/08

Using a totally new design concept with the permanently mounted blower and vac tubes molded together, you can instantly switch from blower to vacuum mode "on the fly" with a simple flip of a lever. This eliminates the need to stop and exchange tubes. The collection bag mounts closely under the bottom tube for excellent balance and comfort. The motor, which has a two-speed switch, stays in the same orientation in both modes so there is no need for complicated grips. In the fall of '99, a 31 cc gas engine version, RGBV3100, priced at about $129, became available with similar features and specs.

Ryobi 18 Volt Lithium Blower, (Ryobi) photo
The first of it's kind, Ryobi brings you the Lithium-Ion Cordless Lawn and Garden line. With longer run time, fade-free power, and a Li-ion battery that works with all One+ tools, this is also the most eco-friendly option for your lawn care needs- while Nickle-Cadmium batteries contain potentially harmful components, the 18V Li-Ion does not. And best of all they'll work with any One+ tool you already own. And because all 4 of the Lithium-ion outdoor tools come with a Lithium-ion battery and charger, there's never been a better time to upgrade your One+ system, or start your One+ collection. If you want Performance, Versatility and Easy Operation, the One+ system has it all. This 18V Li-Ion sweeper is ideal for clearning hard surfaces, and is designed for easy one-handed operation to make quick work of those driveways, sidewalks and decks. Available at The Home Depot.
