RYOBI R18SW3-0 18V ONE+ Cordless Debris Sweeper (Body Only), Green, 18 V

This is a great machine! Bought it in the fall last year to help with clearing up leaves etc. It's like an outdoor hoover - Works on almost any hard surface, easy to use, light to manage, hangs away on the wall when not in use and a great companion for keeping the garden and garage neat and tidy.

Really regret buying this, awkward to move around has to be carried to location. Then so much hit and miss with anything that it was asked to pick up. Didn’t seem to matter what size the leaves. Basically the same system as a road sweeper van that cleans by the kerb, no suction, just brushes to flick it into the hopper. I have gone back to using the outdoor very large dustpan and reed broom. Far faster and burns more calories.

Ryobi R18SW3-0 18V. I needed a product that would sweep up debris from our old tarmac driveway around the house. The debris mostly consists of loose surface stones, soil, leaves, sticks etc. I searched and deliberated on several different models including the big petrol sweepers for some time. It was when this came at a discounted price I decided to go for it. I’m very glad I did as it has turned a two day job into a 4 hour job now. It does leave a small line of debris down the middle but it isn’t a big deal. I also use it in the workshop/stables for general tidying without issue. There are videos out there of how to get the best out of it which I would recommend viewing. Great bit of kit all round especially if you can get it on offer.

I've recently added the Ryobi Sweeper to my collection, and it's quickly become a favourite tool for keeping my spaces clean, both in the garages and outdoors. While it's not a vacuum and won't replace one, it does an outstanding job at what it's designed for.First off, the sweeping performance of this tool is impressive. It handles large objects and dust alike, making it a versatile choice for tidying up various surfaces. While it's not perfect, especially for fine dust, it excels in taking care of larger debris with ease.The large bin is a notable plus. It allows you to run the sweeper for a substantial amount of time before needing to empty it. This efficiency is a time-saver and allows you to tackle bigger cleaning tasks without frequent interruptions.I power this sweeper with a 5AH battery, and I must say, the battery life is exceptional. It lasts a surprisingly long time, which means fewer battery swaps and more work done on a single charge.I'm also pleasantly surprised by the durability of the brushes. After 10 hours of use, they show minimal signs of wear and tear, which suggests they'll last quite a while. This is great news for the longevity of the tool.The added convenience of easy folding for storage is a thoughtful touch. It allows for neat and compact storage, making it a practical addition to my Ryobi collection without taking up too much space.In conclusion, the Ryobi Sweeper is an impressive addition to my collection. While it won't replace a vacuum for fine dust, it excels at handling larger debris and makes quick work of tidying up. With a large bin, long-lasting battery life, durable brushes, and easy storage, it's a valuable tool for any Ryobi enthusiast. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for keeping your space clean and clutter-free.

Tried the product and it is acceptable. Like other reviews it is a great concept but needs to have suction to work effectively. Did not like the ridges in the decking and kept getting caught. Left debris behind so had to use the yard brush to finish off which defeates the purpose of buying this machine.

The quality of this product is extremely variable. My son bought one and it works really well, and on that recommendation I bought one. What a big mistake. It was never as powerful, The dial for setting the height did not work properly and slipped to it's lowest setting after a minute or so use. After 18 months it refuses to operate. So as Trigger said "look after your broom". Do not buy one, a total waste of money.

This is something everyone should have!It works brilliantly and sweeps up everything in its path! Its well made, solid and lasts ages on a 5.0ah battery!A solid 10/10 for this Ryobi sweeper!

Read lots of mixed reviews about this product and whilst it is not perfect (it does leave a middle line that you have to go back over and the emptying could be a bit easier) it is a damn site easier to use than a brush.I used to dread brushing the drive as it felt like a never ending task , now it is the cleanest it has been with very little effort. Great product
