Description
Overview of the Ryobi RY404150
- Power: This cordless leaf blower features a maximum air volume rating of 600 CFM and an air speed rating of 100 MPH.
- Power delivery: The Ryobi blower features a brushless, battery-operated motor, ensuring cordless operation for superior mobility and convenience, perfect for hassle-free yard work.
- Battery: Its 4 Ah 40 V Li-ion battery (2 OP40404 batteries included) mean that a user can operate the RY404150 for an estimated 18 minutes on a full charge.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. However, for a cordless handheld blower, the Ryobi RY404150 is heavier than most, weighing 15.2 lbs.
- Speed Settings: The Ryobi RY404150 boasts 3 speed settings, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
- Vacuum: The RY404150 is also what is known as a 'blower vac'. Those who don’t wish to blow leaves and debris away can switch to its vacuum setting and suck them into a collection bag (10.5 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: With its mulching ratio rated at 20:1, this mulcher excels at transforming 20 bags of foliage and debris into a single bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 65 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

The Ryobi RY404150's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi RY404150 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- At full power, this blower maxes out at 100 MPH, placing it on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- The RY404150 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.
- When fully charged, the RY404150 offers up to 18 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. 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.
