I have the 9" Ryobi bandsaw, I'd actually argue that it's pretty useful! I bought it to cut out bodies, etc., and I picked the small saw because I have a small workshop (I mostly use hand tools). All in all I think it's a great alternative to a jigsaw.
For what it is, I think the saw does a great job. I've been able to cut out a body (1 1/2" thick maple and mahogany), and also do nice long straight cuts on mahogany and maple neck blanks. I also made a simple guide and successfully resawed some 3 1/2" wide hard maple, but that's the absolute largest it can do.
One thing I think really matters is a high quality blade and a careful setup of the bearings. I got this blade, it can't do super tight curves but does straight lines and gentle curves really well.
