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).
- As far as cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range go, the Ryobi P2180 tips the scales on the heavier bare tool side at 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.
- Air expelled from the blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 100 MPH, indicating a lower air speed, when compared to other battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU07SM1, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 143 MPH.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Ryobi P2180 can reach 280 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on the low end for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K, which boasts with 510 CFM.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 15 minutes from its battery, which means the P2180 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. 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.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. 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 Ryobi ONE+ SWEEPER P2102 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 1.28 minutes per Wh.

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 18-24V cordless blowers, the Ryobi P2180 is on the average side of the price range.
