The Ryobi RY40LB01K's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Ryobi RY40LB01K compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- The air speed of the Ryobi RY40LB01K maxes out at 120 MPH. While more than adequate for many jobs, its air speed is below average among other battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. 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 Ryobi RY40LB01K is a powerhouse, boasting an airflow capacity of 550 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute), firmly establishing itself among the most potent cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- The autonomy of the RY40LB01K aligns with the industry standard for cordless handheld units in the 36V to 48V range, offering up to 75 minutes of operation when fully charged. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU01Z can run for up to 300 minutes and could be worth considering.
