The product is easy to use and performs very well. There are two different nozzles (a wide and narrow style) supplied. I used the wide nozzle to clear off the patio and sidewalk and it worked fast with good control. A four star rating is given as the unit does produce a loud high pitch sound especially at high RPM. As with many power tools, hearing protection is suggested when using this product. Other than the noise it produces, a five star rating would be in order.

I purchased one 4.5 years ago when it was called the "Turbo Blower." It has been great, but the Flare nozzle needs to be replaced due to HEAVILY ground scraping. You can get up to 145 mph wind speed! I can be at the begining of the driveway and the leaves blow all the way to the end! You will be very pleased with the preformance of the "Turbo Blower."

My favorite quality of the blower is that is the lightest TrimmerPlus Add-on that I own. This isn't a substitute for a dedicated leaf blower, and the accessory nozzles work loose after a few minutes. But it's fun to watch them blow away! It works fine on sidewalks and curbs, and I've used it for drying the car. But towels are lighter....

I had an identical blower made 11 years ago and it was used year round until it was stolen - never broke. The only thing that I recommend is to get maximum life out of this blower, do two things.
1) Drill a small hole in the underside of the nozzle and screw a sheet metal screw into it. This will do two things A) the wear that occurs when rubbing against sidewalks will be borne on a metal screw that is easily replaced - thus saving the plastic nozzle. B) Nozzle will stay on and not rotate off while you are using it.
2) Get a heavy epoxy paste such as PC-7 and add a large amount of PC-7 to the underside of the blower disk. PC-7 wears like steel and it prevents the plastic from ever wearing out.
If mine had not been stolen, I would have gotten another 10+ years out of it.

I have had a Ryobi Turbo Blower for over 4 1/2 years now and it is still working great! It has survived a move from FL to TX. However the nozzles and bottom are wearing down due to HEAYILY ground scraping... I have loved having this blower much more than an electric one I had because there is no specific speed setting with an electric. With electric it is ON or OFF. No in between.

I was worried that this thing wouldn't be all that great since it is an attachment tool. I was wrong. The power it puts out is great, and this is perfect for blowing off my driveway and sidewalks after mowing the grass.

DEF. WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD, MUCH POWER, WAS BLOWING AWAY DRIED UP DRYWALL, ETC. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I purchased my first blower attachment, a Troy-Bilt TBTB from Amazon a few years ago.I used it on a Ryobi 720R two cycle and currently a Sears 33 cc two cycle trimmer. I have used the TBTB blower attachment once a week for about 15 to 20 minutes each time to blow off the driveway and patio after mowing. It has worked well. But is now starting to wear out as the drive shaft is starting to be noisy and the turbine fan is wobbling from use. Since there is no way to lubricate the moving parts on these blower attachments, you just use & trash them. I purchased this Troy-Bilt TB720R as a replacement of which will be put into action when the TBTB is finally laid to rest. I might add, I could not imagine being without one of these blower attachments as my Wife's jack russel terrier (aka minnie raptor) sheds massive amounts of hair which cover the back patio and my blower makes quick work of cleaning off!! Good Luck............
