  • About this Offer:
    • From personal experience, I've found that Factory Blemished items are brand new and never been used. They are marked blemished to prevent being sold as new, and to avoid MAP pricing agreements.
    • 50% off factory reconditioned items and 40% off factory blemished items offer valid 1/27/23 through 1/29/23 at 11:59 PM EST.
    • Valid on select items only.

    • Limit of 5 like items per customer.

IMO, the best deal is the two pack of 4Ah batteries for $48.

Get the fan; it's a really good deal. That's the newer model from this deal:
https://slickdeals.net/f/15951505-2-pack-ryobi-one-18v-4-0-ah-compact-battery-charger-kit-one-hybrid-fan-99-free-shipping

Except instead of 2x 4AH battery + charger for $99, it's 1x 2AH battery + charger for $30.
Gonna quote a user from that thread on runtimes (using a 4AH battery, so ~ halve them for the 2AH battery)



Since it's "hybrid", that means there's a male plug underneath where the battery goes in, so you can plug an extension cord into it and into the wall to run it off normal house outlet power.

How's the fan? Is it nice?

For those who received Factory blemished, are they new conditions?

Liking it a lot, put it to use immediately. Pretty heavy duty design, solid feel to the plastic body, stiff enough in the pivot that it has no issue holding its tilt at whatever I put it at. Low setting is very quiet (and pretty low CFM I'm sure), medium has been my normal setting and does fine. I'll test runtime against a 2ah and 4ah battery in the next day or 2. Overall, VERY happy with it at like $35 out the door - great deal.

*And condition seems brand new, pretty normal in my experience on the factory blemished stuff.

I plan to use it as a desk fan at my work

Edit: I received the fan today. I love it. It's brand new condition for sure.

I ordered one smallish item Friday the 27th.

Label created the 28th, and was in Fedex's hands late 29th. Delivered today.


But here's my question -- I've only ordered multiple items from DTO in the past, and they've shipped together in boxes, with TTI's logo on them, pretty much as expected.

With this order, they simply slapped the slipping label on the factory box, and off it went.

I'm curious if DTO has always done this with smaller, or single items, or is it a new practice?

I haven't opened it yet, but the item appears new, and hopefully intact.

I commonly order things from overseas, and they are only wrapped in un-padded plastic, and never boxed, so it's not necessarily an issue all the time.

However, I do want to log this in my memory bank, in the same way as "(Newegg and Amazon liked to) ship a bare hard drive in a box with one pillow pack" is logged by a lot of folks, for future consideration when shopping.

Whenever it takes a long time to ship (or says "processing order" for awhile), it makes me nervous that the vendor will cancel the order.

I'm talking to you, BBuy.

I ordered a blemished Ryobi drill in November 2021, and that is exactly how it came for me,

with a shipping label stuck to the actual retail box. That's my only experience of single item

DTO purchases.

Received 1 of 3 orders yesterday. Others still in process. I ordered one with free items, but never showed up. Called customer service and the picture is just for reference… if it had a free tool, it should be in the cart together when you add it. If it doesn't show up, they ran out of the free tool. Well, now I know how their free tool works. Just wanted to share for others wondering how that works.

Also, factory blemish tools are brand new condition. RYOBI Fan delivered in RYOBI box with label attached, RIDGID compressor arrived in RIDGID box with label attached. RYOBI vacuum came in a box with TTI logo, but it is a little banged up for some reason. Still haven't opened, but I'll take pictures before opening.
