The Ryobi P755 blower packs quite a punch for its size, at 1/2 the cost of the competition. Biggest downsides are lack of attachment accessories and no lock-on trigger.
Some other ideas to use it for, Clearing fresh powder off your car, blowing off lawn equipment before putting it away, possibly cleaning out gutters if you have open gutters, Blow out any dirt or whatever from between the fins in your AC unit if you do that... possibly blowing sand off your feet at the beach, blowing out a tent while camping maybe...
Very well done review. Liked all the real-world examples of usage.
For whats its intended to be used for shop /garage quick blow off/out, I like it. Seen one in the store and thought what a handy tool to have. but I wanted to see it in action first. Great review. Thanks
Glad I could help!
Handy little device, I use mine quite a bit......One thing that it's really good for is cranking up an outside fire. Chuck on some Aussie Hardwood, give it a Blow Job and away she goes. That's what I actually bought mine for, but handy on the verandah as well.
The mechanical speed adjuster is not only more reliable, it also makes it more energy efficient and keeps production costs down
I have an older version and it's a totally different blower from when you use the 1.5amp battery to the 4amp.
I see you used the smaller battery in the garage and larger outside is why I had to mention this.
Thanks for the review!
Yes, the bigger batteries definitely make a difference!
Does the job I'd say, no need for the bigger cordless version if this easily blows out your floor and grass clippings. Thanks for the review I'll buy one right away 👍
Another use that im thinking about would be to get the charcoal ready faster.🤔
Impressive little blower. Thank you for the real world tests.
Thanks for the review. I'm considering buying this and this is pushing me one step closer. Watching from Ontario Canada.👨🔧
Excellent! Just had one of these delivered and not yet had chance to fire it up (batteries are at our new house!) and your comprehensive review coupled with real world example use has reassured my it is a good buy, thank you... ✅
Perfect for me. I don’t need a leaf blower I just need something to blow the grass clippings back into the grass
I have this tool, just bought a month ago and it works great for me.
They must have hit your area sooner, because I bought the first one I saw at my local HD last week! Ryobi has been doing some weird limited distribution releases with their new tools lately.
Have the milwaukee version, great for quick blowoff of deck or stoking the coals on the weber, this ones 30 bucks cheaper and probably all u need to do the above
Sometimes I dread using my leaf blower because it takes a minute to prime and choke it. This would be cool for cleaning out different small filters or cleaning your windshield if there is a light snowfall.
Exactly - I think this will be my go to blower when I'm feeling lazy and don't need a ton of power, just because it's so light and convenient.
Milwaukees attatchment works with it. You can order it on ebay. Got mine today fits perfectly. Adds 10 inches
great idea - what did you get specifically? The extension only (43-24-0155) or the extension and nozzle (43-24-0521). Wasn't sure if the extension only would work with my existing Ryobi nozzle. The extension would make this more useful - just want it to clean out the garage. Thanks.
@@michaelz12 extension attatchment. For there compact blower. Comes with the 9 inch attatchment and nozzle. Got it for like 20 bucks. Perfect fit
You could also get a length of heater hose to sleeve over the factory tube. If you can only find hose too small or exactly the same diameter, leave it in the sun to soften it up.
Thank you for the real world review will definitely get one.
I just got one of these since I already have the battery and charger from another tool. Got it to dry my car off after a wash but didn't try it yet, I think it will work good. So far playing with it moves my shoes easily on the floor, the cats jump and run away from it. And my nutsack looks really funny getting hit with 160mph wind.
Great review, gonna definitely use it for camping BBQ and bon fire and in the yard.
Thanks! But I think I could have done without that last bit of imagery! 😂
Is this as strong as compressed air. I need something compared to air can. After watching maybe this would work for me if it had smaller attachment nozzle for precision. Any advice. I want to bust dust out of furnaces, and condenser coils
Be good for blowing water out of hard to reach spots when detailing a car?
PS I bought one and it does the job 😅
how was it? I’m looking about this right now. Does it dry the car well?
@@slow10thgenaccord70 yeah goes good. Does the job. I figured I dry car first then blow out the cracks and what not then dry off the water that came out. Also good for blowing stuff around the yard haha
@@remyche8768 wow great to hear. thanks!!
Can I blow dirt off cars or blow off inside the car ?
Yes, we can see it works good and we already want to buy us one. Thanks.
Nice video I noticed you used the 4 amp battery for the grass clippings and your shed. Very useful
Thanks! The 4Ah is great for extra runtime, and you don't really notice the extra weight.
Does your blower make an unusual whistling sound for a few seconds inmediately after pressing on the trigger when using it and right before the fan starts blowing hard? Mine does, but its the firsttimeI see a Ruobi tool make a soundlike that.
Great review, keep up the good work 🥇👌🏻👍
This is a great little workshop machine, pity the designers didn’t try a little and balance it to sit on the battery and redirect the intake with an elbow.
I mainly just think they should have made it a mirror image for the intake. Most people are right handed, but that's the side that I find the intake suctioning to my pants or shirt while using it. Still a really useful tool though!
Is great to blow the starting fire in a carbon BBQ
I was trying to find a reason to purchase this with the 2 battery pack deal, with this comment im sold. ;)
Late to the party here, I was looking at a plug in dust blower to keep on top off my Lego sets on display that like to trap dust . That has different tips you can change etc and is more concentrated, I will also use for blowing out dust in electronics. I then noticed this for £10 cheaper and I have quite a few Ryobi tools already, including the large garden leaf blower. You think this mini would be too much for the uses above, and I would be better off with the concentrated dust blower.
I'd actually recommend the Ryobi P738 high volume inflator for your use case. Pretty much all I use it for is clearing sawdust. I reviewed it here: th-cam.com/video/sKhvssNbhTc/w-d-xo.html
@@DoresoomReviews Brilliant, thank you for that!
good video buddy ..👍
Thanks!
wonderful review
Thanks!
Good review. I've been using leaf blowers for decades to do the same job, but the variable speed would be nice. Awhile back Ryobi had a sale on a combo kit leaf blower, string trimmer, battery and charger for only $10 more than this blower. I use the leaf blower without the nozzle attached and it's about the same length as the blower you demonstrated. I use it for a ton of things including blowing out computer cases.
Yes, variable speed is one of the best features when using it in a garage/workshop - you don't end up with a cloud of dust all over you if you need to blow out a corner!
Can I use this to dry my car after wash?
It could work for that, but I think it would take a while. Something with a higher nozzle velocity might be better.
Have you tried dusting your house with it? No joke, really want to know if this can clean a very dusty house
I think it would just move the dust around.
Does this use the same battery as their cordless drill?
Yes, all Ryobi 18V One+ tools work with all Ryobi 18V One+ batteries. They've done a great job maintaining their cordless tool compatibility for 25 years - longer than any other power tool manufacturer I know of.
How does this compare to a shop vac blower?
And is this going to be enough for a workshop , or is it a good idea to get the leaf blower version? I like the form factor I'm just wondering if it's strong enough?
It's good for clearing sawdust/leaves/light debris out of a shop or garage. It's nice that it's got a shorter nozzle, since it gets into corners more easily. The 3 speeds are nice if you want to coax debris out of a corner without scattering it up overhead everywhere too. But it's a little underpowered for large areas or for outdoor areas. I'd say it depends on the shop vac blower, but it will probably be better than some.
Nice review. I just picked one of these up today and I notice if I pull the trigger all way and hold it in on setting 3 the blower stops after a short time. It doesn't blow continuously. I cannot tell if that is by design or I have a defective unit.
I haven't had mine cut out like that.
Mine do the same. I think is the battery
@@cristianriutort1 It turned out to be a defective unit. I exchanged it and haven't had any issues.
@@jnick67a Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna return it.
@@jnick67a Thinking about the battery, I saw in another video that the 4ah battery will give you 15 minutes of power and the standard one only 5.
50 bucks buys a helluva broom (broom, bench brush, dustpan, etc. with change left over) which is faster, quieter, and doesn't get debris in my coffee.
I like power tools, but this is one in search of a reason. I'll save my batteries for making the dust, then I'll take 5 minutes to clean up the dust.
BUT....
Ryobi made a terrific stick/hand vac until a couple of months ago (4/2020), just found one at a Home Depot that hadn't been snapped up by the re-sellers doubling the price on ebay. I don't know why they discoed this great vac, maybe there's a better one coming?
Even at the $229 list, it's a great machine, runs circles around Hoovers and Sharks at twice the price and comes with "always ready" wall charger and a 4 AH Ryobi ONE+ battery (Battery is $99 MSRP) so Vac is really only $129 and is a REAL power tool.
To each their own, I suppose. Ryobi is coming out with a new stick vac. I have the old one - my main complaint about it is the debris canister fills up every 5 minutes of vacuuming if you have a pet that sheds.
@@DoresoomReviews You are right on that criticism. A minimum of double the volume would be helpful on the canister. At least it's easy to empty. (Compared to my HF Bauer hand vac, it's great) It's a big improvement over the old Dustbuster system where you have to remove and clean the filter every time. A lot of what I use mine for is cleaning up after my cat, who feels obliged to kick litter over the edge of a 12" deep pan. I empty after every cleanup there. The power and brush effectiveness of this machine is what sets it above the rest, but it coould use improvements. I think they made a mistake by trying to make it a hand-vac as well, although I do like to remove the head for shop cleanups.
Maybe the reason the blower leaves me cold for cleaning is I've had compressed air in the shop forever, and rarely use it for cleaning the shop because it just throws so much junk in the air, only to land somewhere else. I've had the little blower in my hand several times, and just can't make the leap. I'm sure for some, it's great. I wish they had set it up as a dual function with a collection bag like the some of the big lawn blowers. I'd own one for sure.
Thanks for the review and your reply.
This works great 👍🏽
How do you think it would do for getting leaves off of a roof (not gutters, i have gutter guard). I have a large packback blower for yard work, but if this little guy could do the roof leaves that would be awesome.
This is probably a little underpowered for getting leaves off a roof, especially if you just want to stay on the ladder and blow from there. If they're wet at all it definitely won't be up to the task.
If you want to stick with Ryobi 18V, the Jet Fan blower is probably your best bet. You can get a refurb that comes with a 4Ah battery for $79 - www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-Reconditioned-ONE-100-MPH-280-CFM-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Leaf-Blower-4-0-Ah-Battery-and-Charger-Included-ZRP2180/207136528.
Otherwise, I'd look at EGO. I just bought one of their refurb 530 CFM blowers on sale for $99 with a battery and charger, and used it for cleaning leaves and sticks out of my gutters: instagram.com/p/B5T9D6KgLzZ/
Anynone that owns this blower. How much time does the battery last before needing to be recharged?
I cover runtime at 3:30. On a 4Ah battery, you get 15 min 30 sec on high.
Doresoom Tool Reviews So is the 4ah included or separate? Thanks!
Would this be good for dusting off lego sets ?
I'd say this one is too much for something like that. You should look at the P738 instead. I reviewed it here: th-cam.com/video/sKhvssNbhTc/w-d-xo.html
would this leaf blower be good to push the water off my car or would it be to weak
The nozzle is a good length for that, but it might be a little underpowered if you want to blow it completely dry.
Would this be terrible in place of canner air for computers etc.?
I would think the Ryobi High Volume inflator would work better: th-cam.com/video/sKhvssNbhTc/w-d-xo.html
Be careful though - anything that has a motor rotating a fan to blow air can also generate static electricity. I'd keep the nozzle well away from any circuit boards.
I just got one love it for small jobs and sometimes i use it to play around I noticed my wife had dandruff she was scratching so I blew her hair clean did the job lol I'm a clown lol
Would you say it is powerful enough to dry off a car after a wash? Also is it annoy your neighbors loud?
It's not terribly loud. I think it would work for drying off a car, but haven't used mine for that.
@@DoresoomReviews Ok I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I think I may give it a go. It seems like a pretty good budget tool to have.
Street Slicks did you buy this to dry off your car?
@@floridaliving33881 No unfortunately I didn't. I am probably going to probably go more power, but am still undecided on a product.
Seems like the hose is much shorter than the dewalt which makes me lean towards buying that one. Would love to see a comparison
I think the DeWalt has an extra extension nozzle, which is a nice extra especially if you're taller. This works well for quickly blowing out the garage, and the shorter nozzle works well for switching back and forth between a bench and the floor. But for larger areas like a driveway I found that even I had to stoop a little bit, and I'm only 5'3".
These all go to 11.
I was able to blow off my Patio and driveway with this blower.
It will definitely work OK for light duty clearing of paved surfaces (like dry grass clippings), but doesn't hold a candle to a true outdoor blower designed for yardwork.
Great video, wouldn't a Hair Dryer do Exactly the same for a fraction of the cost though!
Thanks, glad you liked the review! Some differences I can think of between this and a hairdryer:
- The Ryobi is cordless which is way more convenient
- The Ryobi is much more powerful than a hairdryer when it comes to air volume. I did find a few hairdryers with specs of up around 80 mph nozzle speed, but it's hard to find CFM specifications for hairdryers.
- Your wife/girlfriend won't get mad at you for stealing her hairdryer to use in the garage :)
It's all about the right tool for the job!
How would it do drying off a car?
I haven't used it for that, but I think it would work great. It's much more maneuverable for that purpose than a full sized lawn blower.
how many minutes does it work
I cover runtime at 3:30. On a 4Ah battery, you get 15 min 30 sec on high.
What do you all think about it his as a car dryer?
the metro sidekick is way better plus warm air
What about drying a vehicle off
I think it could work for that.
Blowing out the gutters?
I think it would work great for that.
That's what I use mine for.
6.19.23
lol the shirt
Now it cost $69 dollars
Dang, 40% increase in 5 years.
Just admit dude, simple broom would be 3x faster for grass
Eh, it's not great for grass, but it's definitely better than a broom. It's really designed for use inside a garage or workshop though.
