The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Ryobi ONE+ HP PBLJS01 is the consensus value brushless jigsaw, particularly for buyers already on the ONE+ battery platform. High-trust testing source protoolreviews.com listed concrete pros including plenty of power and cutting speed, an easy blade-release lever, a lock-on button with orbital adjustment, tool-free bevel change, and access to Ryobi's broad battery lineup. Ryobi-community threads repeatedly tell buyers to choose the brushless model over the brushed one, with one calling the brushed version terrible for cutting straight.
What reviewers liked
- High-trust expert source documented power, easy blade release and tool-free bevel
- Strong value within the broad Ryobi ONE+ battery ecosystem
- Community consistently recommends it over Ryobi's brushed jigsaw
Where it falls short
- Nearly identical to the older Ryobi brushless model, limiting upgrade value
- Bare tool; battery and charger sold separately
- Slightly lower top SPM than the model it replaces

Ryobi-community threads repeatedly tell buyers to choose the brushless model over the brushed one, with one calling the brushed version terrible for cutting straight.
The nuance reviewers raise is that the HP version is mechanically very close to the older brushless Ryobi, with one thread noting nearly identical construction and a slightly lower top SPM, plus a loss of HP-battery communication points. That makes the upgrade marginal for existing Ryobi brushless owners. As a bare tool it again needs a battery.
The synthesis: a capable, affordable brushless saw with credible expert backing, best positioned for DIYers and ONE+ owners rather than as a head-to-head pro tool.

I have the brushed jigsaw. I have zero complaints. It's the best Ryobi tool I own. wandering left or right. Quality on the non HP Ryobi tools ...
This is a terrible jigsaw. It has huge issues cutting straight under the best circumstances. Get the brushless instead or buy a different brand.
