I bought this; the blower that is one below this unit in "power" is only $60 cheaper; however THIS model comes with a 2nd battery! They charge almost $200 for ONE BATTERY at home depot. so...if you are going to get other 40volt equipment from Ryobi; it makes sense to get the big one.

Outstanding review and video. Thank you for not recording opening the box and assembly! Keep it up and subbed

Awesome to see Ryobi stepping their game up. Seems like they’ve pulled out all the stops and have an option for every price point. I’ll be waiting for a bare tool option on this one. Best review I’ve seen of it yet!

It's almost always cheaper to buy a kit with batteries than individually, unless they're running a BOGO offer.

That was a really good, honest review. You put out some really helpful and interesting information. Thanks!

just got one of these to compliment my BR800 blower on jobs. I will be using it on roofs, blowing out gutters, etc. Places you can't comfortably go with a heavy BP. Plus it's nice to be able to push a button and go instead of starting a regular blow, waiting for it to warm up, etc. Happy with the raw performance so far, I hope it proves reliable for at least 5 years if I baby it. if It does I'll be happy. Was really surprised when I hit the turbo for the first time, it almost jumped out of my hand. It was blowing at every bit of 190 mph/21N for sure. Without turbo on full throttle it still has similar power to my old 25cc handheld.

Great review, that thing is huge!

I got this blower as a replacement from Ryobi. Long story short I had returned two other different less powerful models because both triggers on them would stick in the on position. They sent me this without me asking for it. I think the one I got is a lemon as well- It’s chainsaw loud most of the time. Every once in awhile it stays quiet. I’ve reached out to them again but not surprisingly haven’t heard back.

@DoresoomReviews

Yeah, sounds like it could be a loose/bad bearing or something. It definitely shouldn't be that loud!

I got this for free (tool only) when I bought the single stage cordless snow blower. I have used it about 4 times to do leaves. I compare it to my Stihl backpack gas unit (which is not a fair comparison but that's what I have). It is very powerful but not quite as much as my Stihl. I found it to being close to as powerful when using the Turbo button. My Stihl at idle can move leaves (you actually have to be careful where you point it) whereas this one needs a bit more throttle to move leaves. I was able to clear my yard just as fast as with the Stihl. In fact it's so powerful that if you have it near your clothing, it will suck it in the air intake. I also found I had to switch arms if I was using it for anything over 15 minutes. I have 3 Ryobi cordless tools and 4 batteries so now I'm just looking to expand my tool base a bit. I will probably end up getting the backpack blower, the extension saw, the edger extension and the trimmer extension. That should do it. I have used my snow blower twice so far with great results. I am a Ryobi fanboy now I guess, LOL.

I received mine - blower, two 4Ah batteries and quick charger - in early December as a bonus with my 2-stage 40V snow blower. I have been using it to clean the snow off of my car. Obviously, it won't take ice off, but unless it snowed while it was mild and it kinda crusted over by the end of the day, it has no problem telling snow to take a walk. It is heavy enough that it feels like a small work-out by the time you're done cleaning off an SUV, but it's more fun than using a brush, and more efficient, too. In fact, my mom uses it to clean her car off, and so does my dad and brother.

I love the ryobi blowers, I currently have the 40v whisper version. Downside is the weight as well, I’m puzzled why they wouldn’t add a strap, if this is anything compared to the 40v whisper version, you’ll find yourself switching machine from one arm to the other because of its weight.

I got one. It is too early in the fall for me to have used it seriously yet. I upgraded from an older model. If I run them side by side this is MUCH quieter than the old one. I always use ear plugs, but my neighbors will enjoy less noise. The power of this device is seriously noticeable. It almost feels like an air power washer. It blew cobwebs off my porch that my prior blower couldn’t.it will also blow small stones, so one needs to dial it back around landscape gravel. I am eager to put it through its paces later in the fall. I may prefer this over my Ryobi backpack battery blower, unless the weight becomes an issue.

@banjo215

Not necessarily, a 40v battery can produce higher wattage(work) than a higher voltage battery but has to have higher amp draw to do so. The biggest thing to consider is that a 4 amp hour 40 volt battery has the same amount of energy as a 2 amp hour 80 volt battery.

@DoresoomReviews

2 жыл бұрын

That's a complicated answer, but the short version is "not necessarily." The best way to start comparing two different batteries is by watt-hours, which is voltage multiplied by Amp-hours. That's how Milwaukee 18V batteries can hold their own against DeWalt Flexvolt 54V batteries in terms of power output. The M18 12Ah battery actually has the same number and type of cells as the DeWalt 12Ah Flexvolt. They're just wired differently, with the M18 being 3 parallel sets of 5 cells in series, and the Flexvolt being one set of 15 cells in series. The power limitation comes from how fast a battery can discharge current from its cells. If two different batteries have the same number and type of cells, their power output capability will be roughly equal. Thermal management will come into play too, since the hotter a cell gets the more its performance drops. You may also get more efficiency from a higher voltage system, because running more current through a wire will generate more heat. (Power = Voltage*Current).

Higher speed from the nozzle gets stuff like wet leaves moving. Higher CFM without the nozzle is better for large quantities of dry leaves or grass.

So the trigger only controls the speed between 0-550 CFM and the the Turbo does 730 CFM. What if I want to run it at 650 CFM? Why don't these manufacturers just allow the trigger to operate the blower at the full range and eliminate the stupid Turbo button. It serves no purpose whatsoever.

@DoresoomReviews

I'm right there with you - I pretty much keep the turbo button pressed the whole time I'm running any blower. I think they use it as a battery life control.

The big thing the Ryobi has going for it is the combination of great power and how quiet it is. But if you just care about power only, EGO is the way to go.

I just bought this model last week and very unhappy with it. For starters, the very first day I used it, the air tube kept blowing off. Very cheap design with just the one tab to hold that on. If that tab ever breaks, you would have to replace the whole tube or screw it on. This alone made me want to return it that day. Some are saying how powerful this thing is but if you have ever had a good backpack blower, this thing is pretty weak. It's good on decks and concrete but I like blowing the leaves off my grass and this thing does not cut it. Not to mention it only lasts about 20 minutes maybe with batttery power. And that's not with turbo on constantly, which you'll use if you want to move. As for the weight, I thought it was pretty light. But I am also used to a backpack blower. I think it's good for the homeowner that wants to blow off their deck, driveway, patio, etc. that does not take much time. But for anyone wanting to use it longer, like commercial use for example, stick with the gas powered blowers. More power and much longer use. This is why the lawn guys are still using gas as these electric tools have a long way to go to equal the gas tools. For just over $300, I am returning mine and going back to gas. This thing is maybe worth $150 IMO. Gas powered blowers at the $300 price range are much, much better.
