Thank you for checking this out. I went out and got this blower right after I saw your video. It works perfect for me. No more lugging around a heavy cordless blower. Keep up the good work. You always do an honest, practical and thorough job.
As a Home Depot employee and an avid car detailer, this is great to see. Thanks for your video input, I know what my next purchase will be! I can now with confidence recommend this to customers. This kind of input allows me to give real world advice to people looking to do the same thing, I can't tell you how much this helps me and so many others looking for the right tool for the job. Thank you so much, while we have many products that ramp up in quality, Ryobi continues to produce the most range of tools for every job out there.
@@Simple_Jack82 your uncle is correct on certain products, for example, pressure washers and would be incorrect on others like small tools. Batteries are absolutely atrociously, terrible, unfortunately.
Best quote of the video while trying to fumble with what attachment to put on next is: “I’m trying to think” That made me laugh, seems like we all struggle with that same dilemma
Great review Josh! Thanks again for doing reviews like this. It’s great for Dyi detailers. Really love how you focus on the “sweet spot” for DYI and new/start up detailers
When I saw this coming out I was very excited. It does a great job and very portable. We will using it with our camper to clear off the site and slideouts. Plus with Ryobi coming out with a new battery called Edge it could give it even longer runtime and possibly more power.
Wow. I just found your video today. I’ve been searching Ryobi for their leaf blowers, but many of them are not rated very well. I’m so glad you bought this and rated it, because I will be using it to dry off my cars also and for some leaf blowing once in a while, I’m on my way to Home Depot now to buy it. Thank you Josh I will also be following you for your car, detailing tips, etc..
@@Detailing-in-and-out I have garbage from 20+ years ago and it's still going strong and still useful. The batterie system for the garbage means I have new batteries to power my old blue garbage along with my shiny new yellow/green garbage. In the past I bought garbage knowing I will return it as it's garbage. But all 3 times I bought the garbage with the intent to return the garbage after using it as I knew the garbage would preform like garbage, but I was so impressed with the garbage that I ended up keeping the garbage. I have only had one piece of garbage fail on me, a blue drill garbage that died after many years of hard faithful service. With so many and varied options for garbage I have expanded my garbage collection on a single battery platform that I don't need to look elsewhere, which I would not be able to do to this level if I bought a different color Yes if your a contractor, you already know what color you need to buy, but for the DIY'er homeowner you simply can not go wrong with this garbage. You will have it longer, have a more complete tool collection for thousands less over time and fresh batteries that work with those garbages that you bought 20+ years ago. More tools, less cash, bigger selection, longer life before obsolesces . Nothing comes close for the homeowner than garbage bro.
Thank you for taking the time to review this blower. I have a '19 Toyota Tacoma and have been looking at blowers to blow water off the grille, mirrors, plastic bed rail caps, and alloy wheels. I placed my order for this blower on Home Depot within the past hour. Looking forward to this cutting my drying time down a bunch. Thanks again!!! 🙏
I have the portable shop blower, the small one, and i feel like i get about 10 min run time using a 2 AH battery. How much time do you get with yours? What AH battery you use?
i use 4ah but i cant do run time since it stops in seconds or minutes. thats what got me contacting ryobi and got the new one under warranty.@@bsm1th99
I actually watched your video right up until you finished drying the Porsche, stopped the video, ordered one, and then I finished the rest of your video! ;) LOL. Thanks for the great review! :)
Right on! Remember my main recommendation for this is to get all the water out of the areas where water gets trapped. My usual method is towel dry then use this to blow everything out. I did the whole car just to test the battery life but i was very surprised with how well it did. Its a great little unit!
And my car wash section will grow by one more item 😂 soon as I saw you had a review on it I knew my research would be quick, great review as always! Take my money now Home Depot!
Didn’t know ryobi had this out and now I have to order one lol. What Iv been using to blow out the mirrors, lug nuts and other small crevices was ryobis mattress inflator (high power inflator) and it works decently well for such a tiny unit. But it may just get replaced with this thing if not used as a combo, perhaps this one for drying large areas and the other for the tight spaces. Thanks for the video Josh 👍🏻
Awesome video, thanks for demonstrating this blower. After watching your video I’m sold. I own a 5th Gen 4Runner and it’s a pain to dry. Especially the roof.
I acquired this blower from Bunnings today. On my journey home, I encountered heavy rainfall in Sydney, which prompted me to test the device using a fully charged 8ah HP battery. Frankly speaking, at a price point of $149, one should not have high expectations. I would suggest considering alternatives such as the 510CFM Jet Blower or the Ego model, as I am not particularly impressed with its performance in practice.
Was just looking to see if Ryobi had come out with a better handheld blower and you just answered that question for me! Also cool to see that they have it in stock in San Diego, definitely prefer to buy in store myself. Thanks for the video!
Oh yeah, your review was spot on. I was looking for a replacement to the corded leaf blower I was dragging out every time i washed a car. I didn't want a small cheap hair dryer type and didn't want anything much larger than a nice high end cordless drill!! This is perfect! I received it today. I tested it out with blowing the dust from underneath the furniture, works perfect. Then I looked at my interior window sills in our house, usually I use the shop vac with a bristle brush attachment to clean them. Well, after a dust cloud appeared I can say the sills and tracks are all clean!! I was like a kid in a candy store blowing off the widow sills and tops of ceiling fans!! Who knew the versatility! Anyways, I can't wait to use it to blow the water off of vehicles like I intended to use this!! BTW, Huge thank you for your real world reviews of detail tools and for reviewing things that matter, like how long will the battery last!!
I bought one of these a few months ago and love it. Use it to blow off my driveway, dry my truck, etc. The battery does not last too long but I find it is very adequate for my use.
I have the ego 765 cfm and when i seen this one coming out i had to have it LOL. 1 for the yard and 1 for car...I love how light and powerful it is. Nice video Josh all your videos are very professional.
I own 3 different Ryobi blower 2 are 18v and 1 a 40v The 40 is really a little to heavy and gets hard to hold after a few minutes, also the batteries don't seem to hold that much battery run time. So I was glad to see Ryobi come up with a double battery belt. The first 18v I bought is still in use and I have had to replace a few parts inside of it but found those parts really cheap and easy to replace. This blower is the BEST one I have ever used and believe me when I say it's lightweight and has a lot of power. It is a little loud so I just wear earplugs and other then that you will love it and be amazed at all the things you use it for. I sent a suggestion to Ryobi to create a multiple battery belt for 18v products like they now have for 40. 5 STARS all the way for this unit.
I have the larger Ryobi blower that I use for the residual water & it works good but is bulky for detailing the car so I will definitely grab one of these to use solely on the car!
the smaller Ryobi inflator is my favourite tool for cleaning up, its power for such a small drill sized blower is amazing, I really wish they'd make a HP version like this with a narrower flute and more compact design. I use my inflator for cleaning and blowing chemical out of car crevices after detail brushing them with APC. it is a game changer...
Thanks for this. I’ve been trying to find out if an inflator works well for this purpose and it’s hard to find any mention of it. This is exactly what I wanted to know.
Well thanks for making me spend 160 bucks but seriously I see myself reaching for this every time I walk into my garage just to blow the the dust and debris out instead of my big gas power blower great review you sold me
Just when I thought I had every Ryobi handheld blower, they come out with this thing, and I need it. I have the older "nautilus" style round handheld blower and it doesn't do well on vehicles at all. This unit seems to be the ticket!
I use the Milwaukee M12 Compact Spot Blower constantly but it doesn't have a lot of power. I bought this Ryobi the day it landed and like it a lot. Would definitely recommend over the Milwaukee for a spot blower. Neither of these are really meant to blow serious leaves in your yard. The Milwaukee isn't top heavy though, so sits on a shelf more securely.
I have the ego 765 cfm with the stubby car drying nozzle. That thing is an absolute beast. Dries my entire suv in a couple minutes. It is a little heavy and kinda loud.
Looks awesome for the car drying. Better than the Hercules blower I currently use from harbor freight. But not sure about using it for clearing leaves out of my yard. Thanks for all your reviews.
How do you like your 987? I just found a 986 boxster I was thinking of getting just for track days but I’m nervous about the ims and the seller said they aren’t sure if it was done
@@imjoshv i love my cayman, the 987 interior is a great improvement over the 986, which matters if its mostly for street driving which i do. The 986 though is great value and the ims thing is just another maintenance item. If the seller doesnt know about it, the price should be reflected accordingly so that you can plan to pay for that labor (or do it yourself).
great video homie now i got to go back to home depot and get this too 🤣🤣 and i just bought a lawnmower, weed eater, and the scrubber i just be buy stuff form them
I was going to review this and did some initial testing, but it is so loud so decided to shelve it for a bit to review other things and come back. Outside its not so bad, but inside a garage with the door down it is deafening. I had the older 18v blower as well and it did well. My other Ryobi blowers seem to have the same DB up close around 88 to 90, but this is just a higher pitch.
It’s pretty funny that they just 59db at 50ft… I’m really concerned with how loud it is for me and I agree, I mention that you should definitely use ear protection, but honestly you probably should with any blowe
Bought one. This is great for blowing out the water from trim and other areas where water likes to appear when you're attempting paint correction or you're trying to get rid of that residual water that loves to run down the side of the car after you put all your equipment away. Not great for a whole car though. If you're looking at a whole car dryer, get the high powered Ryobi leaf blower.
I really hate that I clicked on your video. I wanted one within the first 15 seconds. Now I can't wait for spring. Dammit Josh, you probably make me buy more things than anyone I know lol.
It is currently on sale with a 4ah battery and charger for $109. The tool itself is $99 regular price at Home Depot with no battery. I just bought mine, and what a game changer.
I revived my unit yesterday, charged it up and used it on a non-ceramic coating vehicle. I have to be honest as I was not impressed. The unit is very loud in my opinion and just did a fair job. Also to be fair I am comparing it to my Big Boi BlowR mini. I loved the portability but I think I will be returning the Ryobi due to noise and lack of performance.
This looks like a pretty useful tool for around the house for doing quick things you may not want to pull out a bigger blower for and to help with detailing. I think for detailing while you dried your entire car with it, a better use might be getting the jambs, mirrors and other places that hold water then just use a drying towel. Looks like a great product!
looking forward to picking this up on sale. I have one of the 600cfm whisper series blowers and its not as maneuverable as this. I can just toss this into my trunk and blow my car off at any car wash instead of lugging around a full leaf blower.
Just found out they make this. Good God I love ryobi. I don't care what any of the haters say. They make such random USEFUL tools! I would use this on my overlanding trip just to blow the dust and dirt out of my 4runner!
I hear you! I have a '19 Taco and have been looking at blowers for the grille, mirrors, plastic bed rail caps, and alloy wheels. I'm 62 and the older I get the less I like bending over to dry my wheels with a microfiber towel. I just did pop on this blower.
Now I need to sell my Adam’s Air Cannon. Haha. I’ll gladly replace it with that and I can use it for other things as well especially because it’s battery powered. Thanks for the heads up on this. Will be buying one soon.
thank goodness I waited for something like this to come out.. i was seriously looking into buying the regular one + buying the stubby from etsy because I want to mainly use it for touchless carwash.
Damn it sucks that the Blower and Battery+charger combo is sold out. Thats a good deal because the battery and charger by themselves is $150. Which is the same price as the bundle with the blower, battery, and charger. Blower by itself is $99
I went out and bought after watching this video. It’s a good product but battery technology hasn’t caught up yet. After 6 minutes straight from it of the box and charging the 4ah battery, it blew its load after minutes, and that is being generous. You have 4 min of good blow and then it peters out completely. I could only get half of my truck dry and that is generous. You need at minimum 2 4ah batteries fully charged and that is getting by. I’m taking back and just continuing to use my echo hand held leaf blower.
So just an idea forya. I put three electric leaf blowers connected on the sides of the garage opening. One on the left and one on the right and one on the top. I slowly drive in and out of my garage and blow all the water of my truck after washing it. Cheap way of drying the vehicle just like at the end of the car wash. lol 😂
That's the one I've been waiting for.... I have one of the smaller (OnePlus 18v) blowers for in the garage and blowing off cars. I'll upgrade in the next couple of weeks - all I have to do is wait for my wife to buy a couple Stanley Cups and I can "justify" the spend ;-)
milwaukee needs to bring this to their lineup. i bought a knock off pistol grip blower off amazon that uses milwaukee battery. its my most used blower for PPF
FYI - A constant exposure to 85 dB of 30 minutes or longer will cause permanent hearing loss. So, 90 dB is more than twice as loud as 85, it's nearly 3x. Wear hearing protection when using this blower.
If you can feel it in your ears afterwards like Josh said he did after using the blower it is definitely too loud. I've worked in machine shops that did't hit 90 dBs. So yes 90dBs is LOUD.
I picked it up right before two snow storms and it was epic for clearing the snow off the cars! I love little bowers like this and was super excited to get it from the moment they released info on it several months ago. A little noisy on high but the not bad and more powerful then I expected. If you own any of the full size whisper blowers, you’ll immediately see the design influence from those blowers. The motor in that thing is so tiny it’s amazing how powerful it is. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Also love the fact they put a little ground strap in the handle to prevent static buildup. Lastly it is an HP tool with the extra HP pickups so you should get better performance using an HP battery. The kit doesn’t come with an HP battery, presumably to keep the cost in check but I was using mine with the latest 6AH HP batteries and it was phenomenal!
Cool demonstration! Thanks for taking the time to do it. Now, I'm gonna have to get one! Question...Do you think this Ryobi would work as well on uncoated cars?
@@imjoshv Thank you, Josh, for your reply. What leaf blower would you recommend for a car that has a ceramic spray coating on it? I'm not a pro detailer, just a lady who likes to maintain her car and keep it clean, shiny, and pristine.
As a beekeeper this could work very well for blowing off the bees off the frames when harvesting frames for honey. Wondering if it would be too much power for my little ladies - guess if I held it farther away from frame.
Thank you for checking this out. I went out and got this blower right after I saw your video. It works perfect for me. No more lugging around a heavy cordless blower. Keep up the good work. You always do an honest, practical and thorough job.

This is great for blowing out the water from trim and other areas where water likes to appear when you're attempting paint correction or you're trying to get rid of that residual water that loves to run down the side of the car after you put all your equipment away. Not great for a whole car though. If you're looking at a whole car dryer, get the high powered Ryobi leaf blower.
I really hate that I clicked on your video. I wanted one within the first 15 seconds. Now I can't wait for spring. Dammit Josh, you probably make me buy more things than anyone I know lol.
It is currently on sale with a 4ah battery and charger for $109. The tool itself is $99 regular price at Home Depot with no battery. I just bought mine, and what a game changer.
I revived my unit yesterday, charged it up and used it on a non-ceramic coating vehicle. I have to be honest as I was not impressed. The unit is very loud in my opinion and just did a fair job. Also to be fair I am comparing it to my Big Boi BlowR mini. I loved the portability but I think I will be returning the Ryobi due to noise and lack of performance.
This looks like a pretty useful tool for around the house for doing quick things you may not want to pull out a bigger blower for and to help with detailing. I think for detailing while you dried your entire car with it, a better use might be getting the jambs, mirrors and other places that hold water then just use a drying towel. Looks like a great product!
Is this not the best industry to be in with all the innovations coming from many angles!!!!!
Ahhhh I see what you did there “ I’m absolutely blown away “ 😅
looking forward to picking this up on sale. I have one of the 600cfm whisper series blowers and its not as maneuverable as this. I can just toss this into my trunk and blow my car off at any car wash instead of lugging around a full leaf blower.
Just found out they make this. Good God I love ryobi. I don't care what any of the haters say. They make such random USEFUL tools! I would use this on my overlanding trip just to blow the dust and dirt out of my 4runner!
I wish they would make silicone covers for the dust brush nubs for shop vac accessories. The hard plastic always mars up my finish work
This arrives Tuesday, perfect for car washes. At 119.99 with battery & charger, it was a no brainer...
Yeah it’s not as powerful as the larger o es but for blowing out all the tight spots and easy of use it amazing!
need this for Tacoma grill and wheels, birthday soon......present to self !
I hear you! I have a '19 Taco and have been looking at blowers for the grille, mirrors, plastic bed rail caps, and alloy wheels. I'm 62 and the older I get the less I like bending over to dry my wheels with a microfiber towel. I just did pop on this blower.
I'm sold! I'm gonna try it next snow, see what it'll do on my trucks.
Ego Leaf blower 765 is a beast. Also has an attachment for cars. 😉
Now I need to sell my Adam’s Air Cannon. Haha. I’ll gladly replace it with that and I can use it for other things as well especially because it’s battery powered. Thanks for the heads up on this. Will be buying one soon.
I have the small Ridgid handheld and battery operated jobsite blower from HD and LOVE it! It has a soft rubber nozzle as well.
nice!!!
I have zero need for one but now I want one 😂
Thank you. I will definitely be getting one.
I'm hoping Dewalt is watching! I have Dewalt gear. Don't want to get into another company. Nice hand held blower.
thank goodness I waited for something like this to come out.. i was seriously looking into buying the regular one + buying the stubby from etsy because I want to mainly use it for touchless carwash.
Damn it sucks that the Blower and Battery+charger combo is sold out. Thats a good deal because the battery and charger by themselves is $150. Which is the same price as the bundle with the blower, battery, and charger. Blower by itself is $99
I have a similar one (Milwaukee). Besides drying, it’s a great no contact duster for when you go to shows.
I have a big Stihl petrol blower and using that as a comparison I am impressed
Considering you get the battery and charger with it, that's a good buy right there!
I went out and bought after watching this video. It’s a good product but battery technology hasn’t caught up yet. After 6 minutes straight from it of the box and charging the 4ah battery, it blew its load after minutes, and that is being generous. You have 4 min of good blow and then it peters out completely. I could only get half of my truck dry and that is generous. You need at minimum 2 4ah batteries fully charged and that is getting by. I’m taking back and just continuing to use my echo hand held leaf blower.
Too much $$ just to blow dry your vehicle
So just an idea forya. I put three electric leaf blowers connected on the sides of the garage opening. One on the left and one on the right and one on the top. I slowly drive in and out of my garage and blow all the water of my truck after washing it. Cheap way of drying the vehicle just like at the end of the car wash. lol 😂
That's the one I've been waiting for.... I have one of the smaller (OnePlus 18v) blowers for in the garage and blowing off cars. I'll upgrade in the next couple of weeks - all I have to do is wait for my wife to buy a couple Stanley Cups and I can "justify" the spend ;-)
Ryobi has new 21700 Edge batteries coming out that will probably give you a few more minutes of runtime even.
milwaukee needs to bring this to their lineup. i bought a knock off pistol grip blower off amazon that uses milwaukee battery. its my most used blower for PPF
Man, wish I had seen this a few days ago. I just bought a leaf blower and stubby nozzle primarily for drying cars.
Looks like a winner. I know what's on my next list when I visit home depot.
Certain Ryobi tools should be in everyone garage.
Exactly what I needed on my detail arsenal will purchasing soon
FYI - A constant exposure to 85 dB of 30 minutes or longer will cause permanent hearing loss. So, 90 dB is more than twice as loud as 85, it's nearly 3x. Wear hearing protection when using this blower.
If you can feel it in your ears afterwards like Josh said he did after using the blower it is definitely too loud. I've worked in machine shops that did't hit 90 dBs. So yes 90dBs is LOUD.
Your videos cost me money lol, I just might have to buy one, thanks Josh 👍😁
I’m very impressed so the how well it works. I probably will have to get one in the future
Fellow Cayman owner…best car ever
Love his talk lot of details put in it... Thank U soo much....
I picked it up right before two snow storms and it was epic for clearing the snow off the cars! I love little bowers like this and was super excited to get it from the moment they released info on it several months ago. A little noisy on high but the not bad and more powerful then I expected. If you own any of the full size whisper blowers, you’ll immediately see the design influence from those blowers. The motor in that thing is so tiny it’s amazing how powerful it is. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Also love the fact they put a little ground strap in the handle to prevent static buildup. Lastly it is an HP tool with the extra HP pickups so you should get better performance using an HP battery. The kit doesn’t come with an HP battery, presumably to keep the cost in check but I was using mine with the latest 6AH HP batteries and it was phenomenal!
Great video I have said it before beautiful home but I do know what I will be getting my next trip to Home Depot thanks Josh
I have been looking for a blower that size for my black car. I am getting one. Thanks for the review.
Cool demonstration! Thanks for taking the time to do it. Now, I'm gonna have to get one! Question...Do you think this Ryobi would work as well on uncoated cars?
For blowing out the tight spots yes, but for trying to dry the whole car it wouldn’t be too good
@@imjoshv Thank you, Josh, for your reply. What leaf blower would you recommend for a car that has a ceramic spray coating on it? I'm not a pro detailer, just a lady who likes to maintain her car and keep it clean, shiny, and pristine.
You always review such cool, functional and user friendly stuff man, great job as usual!
As a beekeeper this could work very well for blowing off the bees off the frames when harvesting frames for honey. Wondering if it would be too much power for my little ladies - guess if I held it farther away from frame.
I just found it's also available without the battery for $99 if you already have batteries!
Thx for the review , I use the Blo Air GT on my vehicles and MTB’s. I could see using this.
Awesome Josh!! Thank you for the review!
