I had a Ryobi Garden Vac and blower previously, so after many years good service I replaced it with a Ryobi RBV2200. I found this heavy to use(and I'm not small). The bag started wearing out where it connects to the machine after about a year, and the safety switch would often not reconnect when replacing the nozzle. Now after 2 years of ordinary use the motor front bearing has completely failed, so I'll be going somewhere else for the replacement vac blower.
