Ryobi RY18PCB-0 ONE+ Patio Cleaner with Scrubbing Brush (Bare Tool), 18 V & RB18L50 ONE+ Lithium+ 5.0Ah Battery, 18 V

A Brilliant civilised way to clean a patio compared to a loud jet wash.You also need water. Yard brush to sweep away dirt.Low noise (quieter than a strimmer or vac), the universal brush roller is a very gentile sweep, get the wire brush for deep cleaning. This seems to take a little bit off the patio surface along with weeds but not a real issue.Wet feet but full body cover or ear defenders not required.Eats batteries/works hard - need 4Ah at least or have breaks while charging 2Ah.Easy to use, weighty head keeps pressure on roller, it just works very well.Cannot clean at right angles to a wall or objects due to bulky sides.See pics for part cleaned patio, old shaded riven slabs. No chemicals (blocks not cleaned)

I have just completed cleaning our 50 sq m decking using this implement, it worked very well, I used a light mixture of bleach and multi surface floor cleaner and a hose pipe to clean it offMy only issue with this machine is the battery only lasts a shot time it is all sai and done only a 5 AH battery on the plus side with two batteries it did not cause undue delays it also gave me a much needed rest I am now 85!

I purchased this item in May 2024.I have used it many times and there has never been a problem.I purchased a new wire brush from Amazon on the 14th May and when trying to replace the screw to unlock the existing wire brush would not come out, therefore I cannot replace the new wire brush.I have contacted Ryobi directly and they advised I speak to yourself as Amazon has bought out warranty for 2 years and has advised you will either replace the item or refund the money.As this is such a good path cleaner, I would appreciate if you could replace the item.Look forward to hearing from you.Dianne Niven

This is a RYOBI bare tool....no battery includedI have a battery from previous tool purchase, like all RYOBI tools once you put in the battery it works a charm.A little self assembly, the wheel. wire brush and handle need to be attached.

Does the job (I have no other way of doing it) but the consumables (replacement discs) are really expensive. Like everything, it gets better with use. The skill I'll focus on growing is how to do the job, whilst making the consumables last longer.

This tool is fantastic, but ONLY because it's the only tool that does this. I truly don't know why DeWalt or other power tool manufacturers haven't made one of these a long time ago!Mine arrived covered in white grease somehow... Not impressed.My 5AH DeWalt battery is lasting about an hour, but this thing gets really caked in dust, internally, really fast.The rubber dirt guard is nowhere near big enough, so you WILL get all of the dirt in your shoes and socks and because its not balanced properly, it will put a fair bit of strain on your wrist trying to keep it straight.Its clearly designed only for right-handed use, yet with 1 simply tweak, this could have been made for both, and the plastic wheel on its opposite side is already almost knackered, as it doesn't have any barings in it, its just very loose plastic, rubbing against more very loose plastic, which as you can imagine, fills up with dirt almost instantly then starts grinding away at itself from the inside outwards. You don't realise until you finish using it for the second time that the wheel is now insanely wobbly and loose.In total, I've run about 8 battery packs through it so far, and it's chewed through 1.5 wire brush discs.The handle is really poor quality too. This thing really needs a locking switch on it so you can switch it on and it stays on. The trigger is painfully short too. the whole thing, as soon as you get it out of the box you know it's cheap junk and wonder how long it's going to last.I just don't understand why Ryobi makes something so useful, so badly... What it does is brilliant, its just a horribly made tool to use, that was built based on profit margins instead of the people who actually need to use it.Ryobi spares are also a pain too. The company they outsource the parts to have painfully short opening hours and super slow delivery of parts. 7 weeks for replacement brush wheels.

Unfortunately it didn't work. On inspection the internal drive spline was too far in the head and would not rotate the brush cog. I had to take the head apart and place the drive motor in the correct position and now it works fine!

Reasonable well made time will tel
