I was a bit skeptical when I ordered it, but quickly lost that the first time I used it. This little thing kicks some snow back side! In fact, my regular snow blower took a dive ahead of a couple of storms, and this thing got me through. It is great for things like decks. As I said, in a pinch it cleared off my driveway with no problem...just several more passes because it is narrower than a regular snowblower. On the down side, it is a bit heavy, and the clamp for the handle doesn't really hold the handle in place fully. Those issues don't bother me. As a backup or auxilliary snow thrower don't hesitate to pull the trigger on this thing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from good, but not tough I love this device. It’s not perfect though. The scoop is made of plastic. As a result of much snow thrown for 2 seasons, scraping on concrete etc. the plastic has become brittle and breaks VERY easily. I dont beat on this either. This scoop should be reinforced with a stronger material to combat this. I am happy the tool exists, but unhappy it didnt last. Great device otherwise.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Save your money for something better Bought new 40V Ryobi power head this summer and very happy with it. Saw this snow blower attachment and ordered online. Seems like more of a toy than a real tool. Far too narrow in width. When you combine how many more passes you need to make to clear the same square feet with the added weight of this attachment, you're better off just using a shovel. The arm strain took no time to set in. I also found it would often stop in mid-stream clearing less than 2 inches of snow. Had to release power trigger and restart. Yes, battery was fully charged. Also, the "blade" is not made of rubber. It is some hard plastic material.

Can clear same amount of snow as my 22" 2 stage because I can walk twice as fast. Just have to turn thrower about 10 degrees to throw the snow off to the side since no deflector, that's why 4 stars. but, the convenience out weight this deficiency. Highly recommend!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Could be better [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received as a gift when a wheeled snow blower model was discontinued. Rather ungainly to handle. Came with a secondary handle, but it was not referenced in the instructions, and I needed to contact company to find out what the heck to do with it. Would've liked it if blades were pitched so that snow is thrown at an angle. Blowing the snow straight into my path isn't helpful for most of my uses. Might be good for quick clears. However, in those cases, a shovel is lighter and I can throw snow in any direction i want.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Poor Hardware included [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in fall to get ready for winter. The goal was to get snow on my back covered patio more away from the concrete/ landscaping since the piles got rather tall when I shoveled. It worked great! My only complaint is the garbage plastic hardware included with the handle. It did not hold tight enough to keep the handle from spinning. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to some metal hardware.

I love all the products I've purchased thus far, including their 40 volt trimmer, blower, and mower. I was honestly excited to try this product out but in 2 separate occasions (a week apart) I can only get a minute of 2 or use out of the product before it just starts shutting down. It will just stop and then only run in 2 second bursts after that. I called Ryobi support and they said it was the attachment (not the battery or trimmer). This is really disappointing for a $100 attachment on my string trimmer. I had to finish both jobs with a snow shovel lol. At any rate I still love the company but this was a big fail and I am going to have to return to store.

First problem is it is real heavy! without wheels, you are constantly picking it up. it puts a big strain on the connection because of the offset, all it wants to do is twist out of the detent. causing wear and tear on the powerhead you use for everything else. it only shoots strait forward about 10 feet. So if you are clearing your sidewalk that is 30ft, you just keep piling it up in front of you over and over again. for clearing a wood deck, forget it. all it does is push the snow. This product was also designed for Right Handed people only. i went back to the 2lb shovel at half the time.

How well does this work with the 40V line vs the gas line of ryobi products? Will I notice it bog down using electric? Thanks

will it work with a gas weedeater? my power head is not ryobi. but I have a ryobi cultivator on there now works great

Asked by: TD
If your current weed whacker has a shaft that detaches in the middle (not at the end), then it will likely fit as most of them are standardized. This unit has a shaft that extends up a couple of feet or more. You may want to check with Ryobi to see if they could verify fit as well. Fit issue aside, you will be pleased with how well this thing throws snow. I've cleared my entire driveway of 6 inches of snow with it when my normal full size snow blower needed repair.

Can this unit be pushed along the ground like a snow blower? The trimmer gets a little heavy after a few minutes work, so the extra 8 pounds could be a problem for me.
Asked by: Tracy
Yes, it can be. This product should not be held above the ground.

No. It does not. It only works with the Expand-It system for the 40-volt and the 4-cylinder and 2-cylinder power heads.

Is this attachment compatible with my RY15526, 40V trimmer?

Asked by: JustAsking
Hello, Ltlwmn - Thank you for your question. The RY15526 is the trimmer attachment so, no. But if you have the powerhead that is compatible with the RY15526 then this attachment will work with the powerhead as well. I hope this helps! Additionally, if you need further support, then a RYOBI Customer Experience Professional is here for you, Monday - Friday from 9 am to 6 pm (EST) when you call or text us at 1.800.525.2579 or through email or live chat when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.
