Anyone own Ryobi gas powered stuff? Mainly a blower?

Seems like a good price and they have pretty good reviews. I know ryobi power tools are entry level stuff but I’ve always had good look using them for normal homeowner jobs. Anyone have any feed back in their gas powered blowers or weed eaters?

I owned a Ryobi blower. It started on the 7-8 pull consistently. It was ok.
I upgraded to Echo and like them much more.

I currently have the echo combo with the weed eater, stick edger and blower attachment and it’s been good to me. The blower kinda sucks though. Just doesn’t have much power behind it so I wanted to get a stand alone blower at some point. I’ll orobably end up going with a echo but since the ryobis are priced right I figured I’d see if anyone had feedback.

I buy Echo refurbs at Home Depot. Most are like new and discounted 33% or so.
Also Craigslist and FB Marketplace are places to look.
My neighbor gave me an extra Echo blower that had carb issues. I ordered a carb off Ebay and it ran great. Gave it to my son in law.

I have the ryobi weedeater and use it more with the pole saw attachment. It is fine for occasiabal hunting camp use and annual palm tree trimming. I live in a condo with a lawn service; if i used gas power tools weekly, I would have echo or something better.

The blower is pretty good but stay away from the weed eaters they are trash

Have the gas powered weed eater, and edger/blower/tiller/pole saw attachments for it. Have had 0 issues going on 2 years now. Blower is pretty powerful.

I looked at one of there big saws that was a refurb. I have a smaller echo saw that has treated me right but decided against it. Going to stick with a Husq or Stihl when I get another big saw.

I had the ryobi weed eater head, used attachments with it. Surprised it lasted about 5 years before it quick cranking. I actually went with a refurb ryobi commercial head to replace it last year. No problems thus far with it.

I have a blower that I got about 6 years out of. It took a few pulls to start but never had a problem with it. I gave it to my nephew to start a cutting yards and he still uses it.
