Bob Vila is an idiot. Have you ever actually seen him DO ANY WORK on any of his programs? All he does is walk around and get in people's way.
Anyways, I'll have to echo most sentiments here and recommend Makita or Milwaukee if you're doing anything more that weekend warrior type stuff. For general duties I think a Ryobi would be just fine.
Another point is not to cheap out on accessories like blades, drill bits, etc. and keep them well maintained. Sharp tools go a long way to making that tired power tool feel like new again.
