Friends, we’re preparing for summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products, and it’s never been easier!

Happy first day of Summer!

Preparing for Summer

The warm weather has hit, the days are longer, and we’re gearing up for summer plans, hosting and lots of outdoor activities.

Let’s start with a great appetizer or snack board!

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products

With Ryobi Outdoor Products, we whipped our property into shape for outdoor entertaining, kayaking and canoeing, and, well, the usual warm weather sprucing up.

We love working with Ryobi, and this year they sent us the following items to try:

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - blower

18V One+ Blower

Their 18V blower makes cleaning our decks and driveway so easy, we run out of things to blow before the battery runs out of juice! Oh, and it has a nice lightweight design (easy to grip and hang on to)!

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - chain saw

20-inch Chainsaw

Our Ryobi 20-inch Chainsaw, light for its size, is so easy to start, and has just enough length to cut through most projects, yet is still so easy to wield. It’s designed for agressive cutting. Have you seen our wood pile? :)

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - sprayer

18V Chemical Sprayer to keep insects out of the house

Summer in central Oregon means a lot of pollen in the springtime. It also requires that we get a handle on bugs that can harm our house before they get a handle on our home, so we spray for them each year so they don’t become a problem. Super easy to hold, this chemical sprayer is convenient and versatile with no pumping involved!

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - power washer

3200 psi gas pressure washer with electric start

Ever had a pressure washer with an electric start? Neither have we—until this guy. We love our new gas pressure washer with an electric start, and have used it so much already!


No more pulling on that string over and over. Just push the bottom button and you’re ready to go.

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - front deck

And the power is so great, we can pressure wash more of our property in less time.

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - clean deck

It produces 3200 pounds per square inch of pressure (PSI) and delivers 2.4 gallons per minute (GPM) of cleaning force! WOW! (Also love that there’s a 3-year warranty on this bad-boy!)

Preparing for Summer with Ryobi Outdoor Products - power washer kayak

This time we power washed the deck, driveway, and all of our kayaks and canoes. Ready for the Deschutes River!

900-watt propane inverter generator

We love this propane inverter generator. It’s so light, and because it runs on propane, we don’t have to deal with the smell of gasoline anymore. It’s a perfect portable power solution for home and recreational use. We’ll be using this in our Sprinter van this summer! (More to come on our Sprinter van conversion + camping experiences!)

And soon we’ll be sharing soon about Ryobi’s electric bug repellers!

What’s on your to-do list for summer house projects?
