Great Blower Ryobi Backpack Blower Model# ZR08570,
January 15, 2008
By homec
from Seattle, WA
"I bought this blower for a Christmas gift for family member, and was amazed at the great performance and how well built it was. I have other Ryobi products and this is on the higher end of their product line. It will blow wet leaves and is easy to start. You can't beat this price, you would pay twice as much or more same power and quality. I buy a lot of reconditioned products on the higher end, and I think this is one of the better buys I have found."

leaf blower,
November 2, 2009
By Colorado123
from Colorado
"This is my first backpac blower and I really like it. It does seems to have a little less power than the electric one I used to have, but not having to move the cord around makes up for it.
After looking at many different model I choose this one it seems like a good value and other people like it. The backpac fits great and can be adjusted well. I really like the control botton for blowing it gives you a nice control.
One thing negativ the way it comes packed , everything trown in a box I guess because it is recondition item."

Ryobi Backpack blower,
October 19, 2009
By tunes
from Georgetown,California
"I recently bought this unit after my old blower gave up the ghost after 20 years. I use this blower mostly in the fall/winter months after large storms and normal leaf fall on my two acres in the Sierra mountains.
The blower is holding up well and easy starting and light. I go through a tank a gas each use but cover alot of ground /roof/and roadway."

Nice little leaf blower,
July 20, 2009
By Nealsdad
from Dracut, MA
"PROs: I've owned this leaf blower for two seasons and have used it several times. It has more than enough power for normal household landscaping chores. I've found that it will even peel up wet leaves with no problem. It's not too heavy - my wife uses it with no problem, and it starts right up every time.
My unit was factory reconditioned, and did not come with the shoulder harness. I called Ryobi and they sent one over quickly with no questions asked - great customer service.
CONs: The fit and finish is a bit cheap (plastic seams don't line up, etc), and the shoulder harness does not positively lock in place, which can sometimes make strapping it on over a thick jacket troublesome.
Bottom line: Great leaf blower for the price, especially compared to home improvement stores. You will not be disappointed."

Ryobi Backpack Blower,
March 16, 2009
By BobbyGtheblower
from Galloway, NJ
"I've used blowers before, but always had issues with them staying running in idle mode and this one stays running when I have to put it down for a minute to do something else. It doesn't die. If I do need to turn it off and it hasn't fully cooled, it starts with one pull, yes only one pull and that's amazing.
I recomend this blower to anyone that wants hastle free work."

Ryobi backpack blower,
February 12, 2009
By calboneone
from Clayton, North Carolina
"I read quite a few reviews on this item where the user was having problems with keeping the blower wand together. I read where screws were used and duct tape was used. What I found was that if the wand was put together correctly in the first place, there wasn't an issue with it. Mine has been used now eight times and I've run 13 tanks of gas through it and I have yet to have any problem with the wand falling apart.
It does require paying attention to how it connects and making sure that it snap locks, but if it does, it stays together and runs fine.
Super purchase for the money, and does a fine job with all types of leaves and pine straw."

Ryobi backpack blower,
August 11, 2008
By hayruner
from Louisville KY
"Blower is very light weight and good value for the money. It is a little short in overall wind power when using for heavy jobs. More then adequate for most household projects. The flexable discharge hose is frustrating as it does not have a well designed fastening system and tends to come apart when using and or getting the pack situated on your back. A spot of glue did the trick to keep it together. Starts very easly and runs well."

back pack blower,
April 22, 2008
By KED1
from Chesapeake Beach, Md
"I bought one of these last year because I have a large yard, and dragging around an extention cord for an hour was no fun. The ZRO8570 worked as promised. Easy to put on ,light, powerfull, a little loud, but I was used to a Toro electric. Over all I would say the Ryobi cut more than a half hour off my clean up time ."

Good Value,
April 15, 2008
By mrgray
from Fuquay-Varina, NC
"Overall, I found this blower to be a good value for a gasoline-powered backpack style blower. It was clear that my unit was reconditioned from some of the scuffs/marks on the unit, but that was purely aesthetic and not unexpected. The main problem with this blower is the way the tubes connect together...the plastic is too flexy and they don't really lock well. This can be corrected with duct tape, but it looks a little bit rigged up.
It does start easily, blows well, and I haven't noticed it being too hot."

Ryobi blower,
January 17, 2008
By BenC
from Long Island, NY
"I have used this product for about a year and a half. I recently bought another one for my son. It is easy to use,lightweight and reliable. The price is very good. The fact that it is refurbished tells me that it has been thoroughly checked and less expensive than a new one. I have never owned another backpack blower to compare it to. It is powerfull enough for normal yardwork."

Does the job,
January 15, 2008
By Reno202
from Atlanta, Ga
"The blower arrived a little dirtier than I thought it should but it is a refurbished model and the price was right. The shoulder straps and waist belt were not attached and no assembly instructions were included but after some deductive reasoning I was able to get it together rather easily. The cable straps that came with it were dry rotted and were worthless but I just used my own to secure the throttle cable. The hose sections don't really lock in very well and are prone to come apart if not secured with something like duct tape. The blower is light weight, comfortable, and does a fine job for a 25cc engine. I use it twice a week and it always starts right up and hasn't given me any trouble yet. The price was right and the product works thats all I ask for."

"WE USE THIS IN THE CHICKEN HOUSES TO BLOW OFF THE TOP OF THE BROOD STOVES. IT WORKS REALLY GOOD. THE ONLY THING IS THE PIPE KEEPS COMING APART WHILE YOUR USING IT AND ITS HARD TO PUT BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT TAKING THE BLOWER OFF YOUR BACK FIRST."
