Ryobi Tools Reviews Summary

Ryobi enjoys a mixed reputation among its customers, with notable strengths in product quality and versatility.

However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly related to warranty claims, service delays, and difficulties in obtaining replacement parts. Complaints about inadequate support and communication suggest a need for improvement in customer relations. Overall, while Ryobi has a loyal customer base, enhancing service responsiveness could bolster its reputation further.

Good little sprayer
November 11, 2020

This is my second one gallon 18 volt chemical sprayer. First was purchased on March 2018. Disappointed that it did not last longer, however, it was so easy and convenient to use that I purchased a second one. Rechargeable battery is interchangeable with other Ryobi tools. I am a 72 year old woman so a one gallon sprayer, once it is filled, is about all the weight I can handle.

Generator 6500 volt
November 6, 2020

One receptical did not function properly. It keeps throwing a breaker even though nothing is plugged in to it.
The green light on left side dual receptical goes off after about 5 seconds reset. Right side receptical works fine.
At no time has the GFCI breaker been tripped.

I had a Ryobi leaf blower for about 5 years and it finally quit (the fan disintegrated) last month.
I bought a competitors blower & returned it with in a day as it did not measure up to the Ryobi. I am glad that I did as the new blower is a newer model (naturally, after 5 years) & has better power than my old one & works well on wet & dry leaves. Because I also have about 16 other 18v all in one Ryobi tools I now have another spare battery. Love the product & make good use of all of the 16 tools I have

My son bought me the outdoor leaf vacuum for Christmas but unfortunately I did not actually receive it till July of this year 2020 because we live live several hours apart and then the pandemic started. The item worked great one time then never worked again. When I checked with Ryobi on internet, it stated must have receipt. I had no receipt and my son had lost the receipt. I gave Ryobi a bad review because I was pretty upset, however, the next day I received a email from ALEX who manages online reviews and said he wanted to help me. He turned it over to Ryan the Product Manager. Both men were polite and professional and acted concerned. They had me do different things to help them troubleshoot what the problem was. I thought it might be the battery or charger. It turned out to be the actually leaf blower and end of story, Ryobi sent me a brand new one with a battery and charger. Its been awhile since I have seen great customer service like this. Thank you guys very much.

DON'T EVER BUY RYOBI, AND EVEN WORSE DON'T EXPECT THEM TO HAVE ANY LEVEL OF INTEGRITY, WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR TOOLS OR COMPANY!
I had a brand new less than 2 month old RYOBI battery and tools in my truck, not even charging and it burnt my new truck up before I sold the truck.
I tried to get a hold of Ryobi multiple times over the phone, emails, social media and everything; and they completely ghosted me about the whole thing. Wouldn't even replace the tools or anything!
*Luckily I was outside when this happened and heard the truck topper window explode and there was a hose near by to extinguish the fire before it was a total loss!

Great Pressure Washer
September 24, 2020

Bought the 3000 psi washer and I am very happy with the choice I made. It is lightweight and I love the dial head for selecting the type of spray. Ryobi just keeps getting better and better!

Not Impressed
September 11, 2020

My quarrel with Ryobi is probably with the batteries more than anything. One quite after two years, and the others last so briefly I spend more of my time walking back to the house to put it back on the charger. The drill does the best, but the Reciprocating saw and Circular saw's lifetime is useless. You can make maybe five cuts on 12'' boards. Also, the one battery refuses to work on the Circular saw.

Easy to use. I have long overdue brush cutting and it is perfect for the job. Would recommend Ryobi products.

Ryobi Gas Jet Fan Blower
September 1, 2020

I recently purchased the Ryobi Gas Jet Fan Blower at Home Depot, and found this product to be exceptional regarding it's ease of use. The blower is very easy to start, and albeit new, runs consistently well and appears to measure up quite well to what it is advertised to do. I'd recommend this product.

Too noisy
August 23, 2020

I bought this because it was supposed to be less noisy and economic, but the handle underneath, makes it so noisy that you have to place it on a rug, or take out the handle. If it wasn't for that is will be perfect. Some of my friends have the same problem with theirs, so it means the problem is the handle.

I ran a lawn care and used all of the attachments. Never had a problem with them. Weed eaters, chain saws, drills. Still buy them now.
