Description
Delivering 600 CFM and 155 MPH this blower can tackle wet and dry leaves. It is a part of our WHISPER SERIES of products and is 85% quieter than a gas blower!
Zoom on the Ryobi RY404130
With its cordless handheld design, the Ryobi RY404130 is best suited to homeowners with an average-sized yard that requires regular upkeep, generally around a quarter to half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 155 miles per hour (MPH). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
A 40V brushless motor powers the RY404130, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. Ryobi claims that it can deliver power of a 26-cc gas blower. It includes a 4.0Ah battery, able to deliver up to 22 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
Users can fine-tune airflow with the variable speed settings of the RY404130, complemented by intuitive cruise control for effortless use.
With a bare tool weight of 6.6 lbs and 9.7 lbs when fully equipped, this handheld unit supports one-handed use in tight areas.

The Ryobi RY404130's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi RY404130 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- When compared to other cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range, the Ryobi RY404130 falls in the mid-range for bare tool weight at 6.6 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Forced air leaving this blower’s nozzle has been clocked at 155 MPH, placing the RY404130 right in line with the average air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- The RY404130 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 600 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is certainly on the high end compared to other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 22 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the RY404130'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 Makita CBU01Z which offers up to 300 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 RY404130 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 SKIL BL0460C-11 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 0.75 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 36-48V cordless blowers, the Ryobi RY404130 is on the average side of the price range.
