Thought this would work well. Plastic pipe had to be gaffer taped on as it constantly fell off. The plastic clips broke so it had to be tied on and the electric start almost always ran out of battery before it started. I had to try and start with the rope pull, warm it up, throw it on my back, tie it on- then it would cut out and the electric start would not start it. Nightmare- avoid. Also it was the most expensive one in B&Q- waste of money- buy a Stihl.

I have to say this blower is a great design, with a fantastic electric start which can be started on a finger button, so you don't have to take it off your back to stop / start. That said, the shoulder pads are on plastic clips and will not take the weight, they just pop off, very annoying and dangerous. The plastic blower pipe is in 4 sections and constantly just falls off. The plastic used by Ryobi just isn't up to the job and will continue to fall off. A great design, but inferior parts ruin this machine. If the blower pipe won't stay on, you aint gonna be blowing any leaves.
