Description
Overview of the Ryobi RY08420A
- Power: The RY08420A, built by Ryobi, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 510 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 185 MPH.
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Among other gas-powered backpack blowers, the Ryobi RY08420A can be considered light, weighing only 18 lbs.
- Engine: The blower is fitted with a 42 cc engine. Being that this is a 2-stroke engine, it must be fuelled using a mix of gas and oil. The proper fuel ratio set by the manufacturer for the RY08420A is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: For those who are keen on having complete control while operating their leaf blower, the RY08420A offers variable speed settings.
- Noise: With a noise rating of 73.4 dB, this blower can be considered the standard for similar gas-powered backpack blowers.

- Its max air volume rating (510 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of gas-powered backpack leaf blowers (the biggest expelled air volume belonging to the Echo PB-8010H with 1071 CFM).
