The Ryobi RY08510 is junk!! Hard to start, tubes fall off, zipper on cover bag broke, and the cover over the air filter continues to shake off consistently.

About 26 months old and Ryobi RY08510 just stopped working. No spark to engine. Travel, time and repair costs make replacement a better option. Last Ryobi I will ever purchase.

I am very disappointed with this Ryobi RY08510 leaf blower. I try to limit its use to 15 minutes at a time as it is a nightmare to operate. I believe Ryobi could have solved all these niggles quite easily before putting this product on the market.

Don't waste your money on this equipment. Our local authorized repair service is not qualified to repair Ryobi. We replaced short block, under warranty. Have a choke problem, service tech rebuilt carb., it wil start but after it warms up, it dies out, he said it may need new carb.

The warrranty on the machine is for two years. I have had it at two different repair shops, under warranty, because it was difficult to start. One of the shops took the air filter out or left it out by accident. It still is difficult to start. As other people have noted, the tubes fall off of the machine, if you can get it running. I use it as a vacuum only. I have the vacuum tube taped on with duct tape, so that it will not fall off. I have had two of the vacuum bags. On one, the zipper broke. ...

Couldn't they have added or offered a vibration-proof rubber attachment for the bolt that holds the cover over the carburetor of the Ryobi RY08510 leaf blower?

Poorly designed and badly made. As others have commented, the fan disintegrated first time I used it as a vacuum. The hot exhaust burned a hole in my fleece and burned my stomach. The mulch bag sits next to the fan and I burned a hole in it. Attachment hoses continuously fall of. If Ryobi had left this as a blower only perhaps it would have been OK but if they sell it as a vacuum/mulcher then it should be able to vacuum and mulch. As I only had it for a week I can't comment on the durability of ...

I got my Ryobi RY08510 leaf blower as a Father's Day gift. The second time I used it, it would not start. Then Home Depot would not let me return or exchange it without a receipt. No way I'll ask my kid for a receipt! It's gutless and very cumbersome. Poor design, should not be on the market.

Our Ryobi RY08510 broke the first day of use, like another reviewer noted, the fan broke far too easily. I bought it last fall, and have not had satisfaction from Ryobi in ordering parts. I was directed to a local repair shop about 20 miles away. I just want to order parts online & fix it myself! I bought it based on price & the good use I've had from a Ryobi cordless drill, but after this, I would think twice before buying any other Ryobi product.

I've had other Ryobi products over the years and was very pleased, but this Ryobi RY08510 blower has to be the cheapest built piece of lawn equipment I've ever purchased. The second time I used it to vacuum some leaves, I sucked up a small piece of bark. It broke the blower fan fin and broke a piece off the engine where it mounts to the blower housing.

The vacuum on the Ryobi RY08510 leaf blower is bad. The only way you can hold this unit for vacuuming, is to have the hot exhaust blowing on you. The extensions for the vacuum will not stay on, and they keep dropping off. The unit gets so hot that it melted the bag. I tossed the unit away. There are too many other things I can get sick on, other than an exhaust.

Poor design, bad product. Would not recommend this to anyone.
