Description
Overview of the Ryobi RY38BP
- Power: The RY38BP gas-powered blower, manufactured by Ryobi, is rated for a max air volume of 760 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 175 MPH.
- Handling: Like most backpack blowers, this model is technically heavier than a handheld. That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. All told, it weighs 20.2 lbs — the Ryobi RY38BP is neither the lightest nor the heaviest gas-powered backpack blower on the market.
- Engine: The engine boasts a displacement of 38 cc. 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 RY38BP is 50:1.
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Ryobi RY38BP allows precise control of the air output.
- Noise: As far as gas-powered backpack blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 75.5 dB.
