Zoom on the Ryobi P2180
The Ryobi P2180
With its cordless handheld design, the Ryobi P2180 is suited for homeowners with properties with limited lawn space, typically less than a quarter acre.
It sports a max air speed of 100 MPH and a max air volume rating of 280 cubic feet per minute (CFM). For the user, this translates to modest airflow, moving dry leaves and small debris around a yard, patio, or driveway.
The P2180 features an 18V brushed motor, providing cordless operation for flexibility and mobility. One 4.0Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 15 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
Users can fine-tune the airflow of the P2180 to their liking with its variable speed settings, ensuring bespoke performance for any task at hand.
With a bare tool weight of 6.2 lbs and 9.2 lbs when fully equipped, this handheld unit supports one-handed use in tight areas.

The Ryobi P2180's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi P2180 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- When compared to other cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range, the Ryobi P2180 stands out for its higher bare tool weight of 6.2 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Worx WG543 which is only 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 100 MPH, which is on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Worx WG550, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 175 MPH.
- As this unit is rated at 280 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Worx WG550, which boasts with 620 CFM.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 15 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the P2180's runtime is below average among cordless handheld units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 minutes of runtime.
- While runtime is an important metric, it is closely tied to battery capacity. To understand performance more clearly, it’s also useful to look at runtime efficiency, how long the unit runs relative to its battery size. In terms of runtime efficiency, the Ryobi P2180 ranks on the lower side, delivering less runtime per unit of battery capacity than many comparable battery-powered handheld blowers. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Sun Joe 24V-JB-LTE offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 1.04 minutes per Wh.
