Thank you so much for this video this was very helpful, i am a 15 year old who is trying to start his own lawn mowing business, and i can say that you definitely saved me money i was planning on buying the battery one but after watching this video i am sticking with the gas powered one.

If you're doing a lawn mowing business gas power is the only way to go. Wishing you the best with your future business endeavor!!

I just got the Ryobi 440 cfm corded blower, I had no problem moving some mulch, leaves and even rocks in my driveway. The driveway is all rocks and I had to put it on the first power mode so it would stop throwing rocks lol. But yea I’m liking the jet fan corded blower by them.

It's always makes me chuckle when people say they don't have to mess with gas or spark plugs. Spark plugs last about 4 years and the fuel is super easy to mix. I use the electric ones for "sweeping" under the couch, and indoor jobsite cleaning.

Noah Riede i have echo 710 cfm about 8 years old no spark problems and no mix problems starts on second pull every time i even remove snow with it if snow is dry

I was using a corded one, and it lived on suction and with the bag attached, to pick up all the leaves and mulch them. Cheapest one at the big box store, and a 30m power cord ( plus another 20m extension I already had) worked well. As the area was all paved no real stones to speak of, plus this kept the leaves out of the pool, making maintenance a lot easier there as well. Gave it away to a friend to do his yard when I moved. Never understand why people blow all the leaves into a straggly pile, instead of just using the suction to get them in a single pass, or blow them into the street, and they almost immediately will blow all over the neighborhood and back into the yard.

Good review. The 18-V blower is perfect for blowing leaves and dirt from the garage floor. Also use it after cutting grass. This unit has the power to blow grass clippings off the sidewalk and driveway. This is not the tool to blow large amount of leaves. The 2 cycle hand held or backpack blowers are good residential tools to clean up the yard.

I got the gas one a year ago and am not disappointed. No swapping batteries ever 15 minutes either. The gas on just is a work horse and outperforms my old corded blower.

I concur with your findings. I really wanted to enjoy and be able to recommend this newer (most over the 18-20 V range) generation of cordless blowers but the run time is still poor.

Thanks for this vid. Helped me make the gas purchase. Was about to get the 40v...

I have the 18v and the gas one, its an awesome combo to have, the 18v is awesome for indoors or sometime you just have a very small job to do... for everything else you got the gas!

Thanks man this was super helpful!!!!! Perfect video!!!!

Regarding the larger battery powered one on the right, i don't understand why ryobi didn't neck down the exit area of the nozzle which appears to be larger than the gas powered one. Tapering down to a smaller exit diameter would result in higher air speed.

18v its great for garages and shops where you wouldn't want fumes (I use the Ridgid shop blower). I went with the 550cfm 4Ah 40v and an extra 6Ah battery for the garden.

Pfft here in Canada the prices are way different. The gas blower is $300, latest version of the 18v is $130 and 40v is $230. Doesn't make sense to go 40v because the batteries are so expensive to replace, just go gas or electric if you really need the power or go 18v if you are invested into their product line and just need it for in the garage, deck and grass clippings. I bought the older 18v version and with the 4amp battery that blower does very well, it's ok with the 1.3 amp but is a totally different blower with the 4amp battery. The key to remember is don't go cordless if you want to blow stuff that you'd normally clean with a shovel. If you don't want to clean with a shovel then you need a gas blower or electric with a high CFM output. Thanks for the review!

I don’t now if there available to you guys in the USA but they have released a brushless version of the 18volt jet blower here in Australia. I gotta try me one out

I have not seen a brushless blower yet, they sell a brushless weed wacker with a regular blower and list it as a brushless combo but not a brushless blower. Be interested to see how much better it performs.

Thanks, went with the gas blower. Gas still better than battery for big jobs.

I agree bro you can't go wrong with the gas blowers for leaves I also like the Ryobi brand but I decided to go with a echo gas blower myself that's what the professionals use

Chris Flair i went with nuclear power blower. Definitely had the power I needed. Some claim to have hurricane force winds, maybe a small gale force. This one is like a singularity

I have three ryobi blowers also, 18v like yours, 40v backpack, and now gas. Both battery powered are great but for concrete surface only. The 40v backpack has a ton of power but dies in 25 minutes using two batteries. Moveing fall leaves across grass there is No replacement for displacement. Gas all the way for that aspect.

Awesome i guess ill buy the 155 mph 300 cfm 40v blower for 120 on amazon! my 40v weed eater is beyond powerful and my 40v lawn mower is perfect. i'm absolutely done with gas, wish they made Ryobi vehicles.

There is a Ryobi Vehicle. A Zero Turn Electric Riding Mower.

You don't see many people choose a gas over the electric options and I am one of many people that choose the electric option over the gas I've had gas blowers and gas trimmers and I hate them lol its not the oil mix that bothers me nor is it the spark plugs I'm very mechanical inclined but getting the cheep ones to run properly is a massive pain I'm tired of yanking that pull starter looking like a mad man . Why spend the extra money getting a really good gas one when I still have to get gas , oil , and engine noise. Then I come in the house smelling like exhaust so I can't sit on my couch right away ugh lol I am not running a lawn business I don't need hours and hours of run time I just need to finish my front lawn my back lawn and blow off the leaves and grass in my driveway and I could do that with the electric blowers . Ryobi used to have a hybrid line that was awesome I still have a blower. That was under water for a few days during Hurricane Harvey it still works too . And still gets the job done .

Very helpful! Thank you!

The 18 volt jet blower is the worse one it doesn’t have power

Good Review I am happy with my 1st gen 20v Dewalt Blower 1st gen 20v Dewalt String Trimmer ( Single Piece Aluminum Shaft )JUNK broke after 1.5 years - Dewalt did Replace but only after Bitchin and Complaining using 29cc troy Bilt Sting trimmer - AMAZING but just picked up a 82v Snapper String trimmer

I just bought ryobi weed eater and blower 18v and probably going to return. I thought it would be more powerful than what is. 18v is really week for yard work.

I bought the Ryobi 18 volt brushless weedeater and I am VERY impressed with it's power. I can even edge with it and it will dig a trench. I never use it on high speed except to feed new line. That is my only complaint. You must turn it on high speed to feed new line. I'll never go back to gas weedeaters.

I use EGO weed eater(whipper snipper) it’s as powerful as the petrol one, more quieter. For blowing and vacuuming grass clippings and leaf, I still use my 2004 BOLENS BL 3100 3in1 petrol powered.and still going strong, it’s noisy but powerful, BOLENS don’t make them, anymore. For lithium-ion powered, I would choose EGO than RYOBI but both brand are still noisey like a loud old vacuum cleaner. Both brand are weak, petrol motor still the powerful one..

The electric ones ever used them on snow? How are they?

Dude Thanks so much.I just bought the small one and I was like ,It works alright but the batterie went quick and seems like it could have a little more power compared to my electric Toro (which is awesome and from Home Depot).

The problem I have is ....I have an older 18V blower, which lacks power...I was Thinking of getting the 40V .... as I may want the 40V Hedge Trimmer. I have an 18V string trimmer....ok for around the house. But for true Trimming I bought an Echo 3020 beast. Using batteries seems so much easier, but when I shopped for the Echo I considered the Toro Battery string trimmer.... Trimmer = $$$, the batteries $$$$ Ridiculous. I wish the 40V blower had the Gusto 🌬

3:02 ........wait uh second here! Do you have some sorta *arrangement* with Home Depot or somethin? 🤔 Great video. I just have driveway a walk after mowing and own other ryobi tools. But now I think i might not be satisfied. And i have a terrible history with 2cycle leaf blowers. The 40 volt is pricey ...what to do

I bought the gas one about two days ago and I'm very happy with it very powerful

I wonder if a higher Ah battery on the 40V would make a difference. 3 Ah doesn't sound like much.

Thanks... I have the original 36v (Australian, whereas Americans are 40v... don't know why) Blower... it's ok but doesn't have the strength of my 15 year old Stilh Petrol Blower (even thou fuel is leaking everywhere). I was soooo close to buying today that new 36v JetBlower, but now I'm glad I haven't, as it seems it would prob be the same strength of the original 36v Blower, so I would be wasting my money for nothing, hoping that the jet Blower would be equivalent to a gas/fuel Blower.

We get 36V 5Ah (180Wh) compared to 40V 3Ah (120Wh) so our batteries have more capacity. (I'm guessing - and have no real idea, but I guess the 40V units have smaller cells and fit a couple of extra in, we have less cells but they're larger and overall have more capacity).

Could be the Oz and Europe have truth in advertising laws. The 36V and 40V are the same batteries, it's just that they measure a little over 40V when you take them off of the charger.

All I want is one to blow leaves off the roof. Figured lightweight 18v would be enough. Occasionally would use it to blow leaves from parts of the yard like flower beds. Don't want one that will blow away my mulch and gravel. Do you think the 18v ones are good for that?

Yes

Which would be efficient at car detailing? Blowing the water off the car after the wash? Was considering an electric model from ryobi. Would the 18V push that water?

No my husband just bought it for the same thing and he said he’s going to stick with his gas one

I bought the small electric one a few years back too. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Woopsies haha. Should've got the gas leaf blower too. Haha.

I have the two-cycle jet blower I love it it starts good when it's cold but if you try to restart it while it's warm it will not start any help?

That comment at the 3min mark!!

what about the 39.00 ryobi 435 cfm?

Uy útil gracias

I have the battery charged blower. It quit mid blowing but still running/ spinning but no flow. Any advice?

Thanks was literally getting ready to order, but decided to check some reviews. I will pass on it

It’s expensive to be cheap

Well that's disappointing. I'm hoping the 40V will be good enough.

Kite Army found the Ryobi one to be the weakest of the bunch. My older version is even worse. Buy EGO, nothing else is as good. Greenworks is a distant second.

It's smart to use Premium gasoline in small engines. Unlike an automobile it will probably cost only a few dollars a year more. If you bought the Ryobi BP42, return it and get a new one next season. They die after a year or so. Ryobi hillbillies will guide you through all the things that could be wrong. That process requires buying part they suggest, waiting for part, installing new part, calling Ryobi when that didn't fix the problem. I went through this 4 step/week long process-At least 5 times: Air filter(1 week), fuel filter(1 week), carb cleaned, carb replaced with a new one, new fuel and air lines installed, new plug. Over 12 hours and ~$100 into this and I give up. Ryobi sucks. Their hillbilly helpers are in the business of getting you to buy all these solutions!! They don't get paid to actually help you with your problem. If the Chinese blew leaves, they'd make a better leafblower. They don't-Ryobi BP42 is a planned obsolescence product. This piece of crap is actually a terrific leaf blower when it works. Show me a homeowner who was able to fix their BP42 and I'll blow your leaves for a season. Also...when you're on the phone with them and they ask you for the serial number on your blower, you'll see that the serial number is sleazily hid by an impossible to read microscopic font size. DO NOT PULL THE STICKER OFF TO READ THE NUMBER!! While on the phone with them I pulled it off It voided my warranty. VERY SLEAZY COMPANY!!

Earl Fahnestock premium gasoline only has higher octane for high compression engines. No difference in low compression lawn equipment.

So what ur telling me is the electric blower wont keep up w/a gas powered blower, who knew?😂.Its really abt Noise & Sound! Try using the Gas Blower at night or other times arent when nobodies home, see what ur neighbors think? I have the 18volt, its good But not good enough for bigger harder jobs & leaf seasons comming lol..Anyway thers nobody who still has a brain connected that doesnt know The Gas Blower will always be superior to electric blowers..Really all abt how much work do you want put into ur Leaf Blower AND How Much Leaf Blowing Do You Need To Do?!🙄.For almost any instance there is, the 18volt works pretty well & when using the Rite Batteries will last long time, But Now that the Fan has broke on 18volt, Yes Ill replace the fan BUT I Will Also Get The 40volt Bc if the 40volt Leaf Blower is anywhere near as good as there 40volt Lawn Mower, A Great Mower so probaby at Great Leaf Blower As Well😁..A Gas Blower will ALWAYS out run electric blowers as of now But for most jobs the 18volt is good, So the 40volt must be Great & Quite which is paramount when living with Neighbors🎸🎸🎸

Fuck gas it's too noisy all the houses in you street will know what your doing yes it's stronger i know.

Just don't buy the BP42. DO. NOT. BUY. IT.

I got mine for free

Try EGO...

none. you buy the EGO. :)

This review is meaningless unless the actual see the volume of material he has to move. If you don't have a lot of leaves the smaller 18v may be enough. The gas unit will definitely be stronger but you are still messing around with oil and gas etc.
