Description
Overview of the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB
The Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB
- Power: The Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB is a gas-powered blower with a maximum air volume rating of 520 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 160 MPH.
- Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. However, for a gas-powered handheld blower, the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB is heavier than most, weighing 11.5 lbs.
- Engine: The blower is fitted with a 25 cc engine. Since this is a 2-stroke engine, it’s important to remember that the JET FAN RY25AXB cannot run on gasoline alone. The fuel must be mixed with an appropriate ratio of gasoline and oil in order for it to function properly (for this Ryobi model, this ratio is 50:1).
- Speed Settings: With its variable speed settings, the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 74 dB can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered handheld blowers.
- Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a handheld blower, with a tank able to hold around 18 fl. oz of fuel.

The Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Maxing out at 160 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for gas-powered handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Poulan Pro PPBV25, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 230 MPH.
- If air volume is an important feature, the JET FAN RY25AXB by Ryobi will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 520 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most gas-powered handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Craftsman B225, with 650 CFM, could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other gas handheld blowers, the Ryobi JET FAN RY25AXB is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.

Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
I bought this blower about a year and a half ago. Used it normally (weekly lawn cuts, fall and spring cleanups, winterized during winter). This weekend, while I was using it, it started making loud noises, black shards of plastic came flying out and within seconds it froze up. After further inspection the shards of plastic were from the internal turbine fans. Not even sure how they could all come apart during use. When I went online, I saw that this was common in their electric version of the blower. Seems awful quality to me when I really only used it about once per week. Can’t imagine this working over a long summer with daily use.
Called Ryobi support and they said there is nothing they can do but I was more than welcome to bring it to a nearby service repair shop (at my cost). Not happy….
Switching brands now…
Very pleased with the jet fan blower untill the blower section failed. If Ryobe does not have a simple fix for it, this would make the design useless to the diy, crowd, which is the American buyer.T A Holaday
Bought the RY25AXB Dec. 2017 and it quit working July 2021 with minimal residential use (burned maybe 2.5 gallons of gas total). Warranty is for three years but I guess $119 really is not that much to throw away. I kind of glad it quit as it was extremely loud and the vibration caused me to have to change hands frequently because of pain ( always wondered if it accelerated arthritis in might right hand). Because of this experience I’ll probably never buy another Ryobi product. I’ll take it apart to see what failed and it can be a science fair project for a grandkid.
