Overview of the Ryobi RY40460

The Ryobi RY40460 in use

The Ryobi RY40460

  • Power: The Ryobi RY40460 can force 500 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 110 MPH.
  • Power delivery: The RY40460 is a battery-operated unit, so it doesn’t need to be plugged in during use. Users will enjoy the added mobility of its cordless design.
  • Battery: With its 4 Ah 40 V Li-ion battery (1 OP4040A1 battery included), the Ryobi RY40460 has a standard, full-charge run time of up to 25 minutes.
  • Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. All told (including the battery), it weighs 8.7 lbs — the Ryobi RY40460 is neither the lightest nor the heaviest cordless handheld blower on the market.
  • Speed Settings: Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the RY40460 features variable speed settings for added control.
  • Noise: With a decibel rating of 68 dB, the RY40460 is neither louder nor quieter than its rivals in the electric handheld category.

The Ryobi RY40460's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi RY40460 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • Air expelled from the nozzle of this blower can reach 110 MPH. When compared to others of this type, the RY40460 has a lower air speed than most battery-operated handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU01PT, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 208 MPH.
  • Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Ryobi RY40460 can reach 500 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
  • Autonomy-wise, with up to 25 minutes of autonomy on a full charge, the RY40460 is on the low end when compared with other 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.
