Bought one over the weekend. Was concerned about lugging around ten pounds (Female, 5' 2", 60+). The balance of the machine and the battery make it very manageable. Love the whisper feature. It easily moved smallish branches and leaves. The low setting is a must on the driveway for creating a pile to sweep up. Had to balance blowing and bagging to allow plenty of recharge time for the battery.
Brooo You had me crying when you were blowing the pool and you said "And this is why my neighbors think I'm Crazy" You are killin it B, Giving my guys at VCG a run for the money. Keep spinning them blades!
Wow! I got that Gen 1, or 2, 40v turbo blower. That thing is a beast but it had an issue. A single pine tree straw got sucked into the intake (which should have had a screen to protect that from happening) and stripped the motor's spindle from the "plastic bushing" and rendered my blower blowless! [Reason why I know so much about the inner workings is because after disassembling the unit over 6 times using various glues & epoxies I finally found the winner which totally fixed my blower saving me $$$] Locktite 👎 Liquid Nails👎 J B Weld👎 Super Glue👎 Gorilla Glue 👎 Gorilla Super Glue Gel👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I am watching this on a Saturday night instead of watching a movie. You are funnier than most stand up comedians I have watched. I love your sense of humour and will troll through your collection from here on. Great review by the way. Subscribed 🤙
That bloody insane, I have been waiting for them to make one this powerful So I dont have to fire up my stihl petrol blower. Cheers for the review mate
Just spoke with Ryobi today… They have been promising the release date at Home Depot “coming soon”, which has been ongoing for months. They said it would be in mid to late September… they have Labor Day specials coming out as well and indicated that things could change & this could be released as soon as Labor Day… I will be purchasing one to add to the 40V brushless platform…
This is great. Ego and Toro needs competition to keep them pushing the limits. Good job Ryobi. In general I absolutely am loving the whole battery powered line of home improvement tools. Case in point, my wife and daughter actually like using my Ego single stage snow blower to clear the driveway, HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! LOL.
Hey Clint, Rick from Ryobi. You told me you wouldn't put our conversation on RUclips. Now that wasn't reel nicelike. And you creating those that tsunami in the pool. 🤣 lol. That looks like a nice blower.
Wow. I have the current brushless 550cfm and thought that was powerful. Use it to dry my cars. This new model will probably blow my side view mirrors off. Reeeobi is gonna do some crazy stuff with their 40v line. This is a good time for tool lovers, DIY'ers and Pros alike.
Great video. Love mine. So impressed with the power. Stay off the top speed as it will drain the battery fast but you only need that power level occasionally so it should last for most purposes.
yes, i'm 'thinking' about it.. how is the balance of the unit? Does it automatically point downward or do you have to 'force' it downward... no one has addressed this question that I've found... BTW, thanks for great videos!
It would be cool to see you do a comparison between the most powerful hand held 18v vs. 40v blower. I have an 18v and with an 18v battreeee and I'm curious if it's worth jumping to the 40v platform.
Love your demo. Very precise and informative. Just bought one 2 days ago. Not used yet but your information was helpful. By the way saw the name "Nass" on your t-shirt. My name is "Nass" also from the Frank Nass line in Schenectady, NY.
How does this unit compare to the Greenworks 80V, 2ah, brushless blower(also marketed in the Midwest through Menards under their house brand, MasterForce)?
Is it better than Milwaukee I have two batteries I’m still debating because the batteries unless that long comparisons with the Milwaukee where is it good to know
Milwaukee blower is 450 CFM and 120 MPH. The Milwaukee blower seems to do better than my Ryobi 40V Whisper Series 145 MPH 625 CFM Cordless Battery Backpack Leaf Blower. I've been fairly disappointed in the backpack blower. But this video shows that Ryobi outperforming what I've seen from my Milwaukee.
I'm trying to decide between this and the Ridgid being that I'm already deeply invested in the Ridgid lineup. Conflicted even after watching both of your videos.
I will take the Pepsi challenge with my discontinued Jonserend leaf blower. You can put a giant battery from Poulon on it for $40 on eBay that was made to run a mower. 900 cfm and 1200 turbo with 3 hours of run time. Total cost $150. Do it diy guys! I literally use it as snow blower.
I think Ryobi needs to start making other tools like recip saws & circular saws, demolition hammers and other heavy duty power tools using their 40v platform,I think that would be a great business move for them and I think people would be quick to jump on if they already have Ryobi 40v outdoor power equipment, thoughts? 🤔
I hear ya. Ego never has great deals, but I'm thinking with all the new Ryobi outdoor power equipment on the way, Ego may need to step it up to keep people on the platform
Same parent company… Essentially the same tools in a different color. One important note, Hart brand is exclusive to Walmart and their 40V batteries are “NOT” interchangeable with Ryobi!
Ok... it’s time Clint, for another sit down discussion.... It’s time. Time to add a new segment to your channel: Tool Review Test Raw, or as I think of it TR2 (or TR squared), don’t ask me where I came up with the idea 😂. Your prior video was of all the EGO stuff, and now the Ryobi. Go for the head to head blower testing! Even invite your evil side to help you! Which Clint blows the best! Whatcha think?
That’s real nass like Clint! Great video 👍 @KiteArmy You need to include this blower at your next Beachball blower bonanza! This one should give Ego a run for it’s money!
@@JamesMKE LOL, he does love his Ego OPE, that’s for sure. I’d like to think he’d give this Ryobi a fair shot and acknowledge defeat, if the Ryobi ends up being a better blower overall.
The $300 price tag is kind of steep. The Ego 650 CFM blower with ten amp hour battery is definitely more powerful. The Ryobi blower is also almost half as loud. With the 190mph nozzle the CFM goes way down.
how do you know, i own the ego 650 and the greenworks 700cfm unit and they are close but using my anemometer the greenworks wins with the same size orifice, barely
who cares? if you own ryobi 40v you probably have at least 3 more batteries so i think 5 batteries in total is enough for 99% of the population for this tool
I am going to buy that belong to use when I clean the roof of my house to blast the water that’s for the video you help me to decide to buy it. 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍🍕🛠🛠🇵🇷🍕
Mine just stopped working for no reason. No warning. Battery is fully charged before you ask. HD doesn't do any tech support. Not every power eqpt dealer works on these. SO buyer beware!!
@@ToolReviewZone apparently you don’t use them very much and have a lot of hate towards them. I’ve been using a blower, weed eater and there 2nd gen 60 volt mower. All of them work fantastic and offer every bit of power that ego does. Go watch some of tech made easy unbiased review on ego and Greenworks.
I was excited when i bought this earlier this year. Ive used it for one big job and was very happy with it. I turned it on for the second job and it died completely after 2 seconds. I got laughing at for buying ryobi and i now understand why people hate this company. What a complete piece of shit.
That’s real nasss like yes indeed, I think I’ll have to look into getting one but with larger capacity batteries, does RYOBI make rapid chargers for those batteries? Smeeesh that like button. 👀👉🏽 👍🏽
So many tools.....so little money! Seriously, what's a poor boy gonna do!!! (Almost sounds like the start of a country song, ya know? ) Now, yeah, that is spiffy but I suddenly had a thought...a deep, dark, seriously disturbed thought...about that yappy little dog the neighbor lady has, or that evil, evil cat on the other side. Now suppose, just for arguments sake, that one or the other of said little s**ts were doing their customary rants and I suddenly hit the turbo function on this and..........sorry! SORRY! I don't know what came over me...but yeah, wish I could buy one of everything...yeah, real nass like!!!

😮 That blower is awesome. The neighbors dont think your crszy, they know it🤣. I am in the EGO platform at the moment.

I agree Andrew. That would.be pretty awesome, but it may eat into Milwaukee's lunch... so I doubt you'll ever see it 🤔
Ryobi HP is basically green Milwaukee right now
This blower would be amazing to get me into the 40v ryobi because there other 40v ryobi tools I want to grab @ToolReviewZone
Dats real nice like!
Very entertaining video
Thanks James!!!!
Looking to buy the new ego blower but f*** I wish their was a deal but i feel like they never go on sale
I hear ya. Ego never has great deals, but I'm thinking with all the new Ryobi outdoor power equipment on the way, Ego may need to step it up to keep people on the platform
How Hart brand compared to this? Better or Worse?
Basically the same company just different colors.
Same parent company… Essentially the same tools in a different color. One important note, Hart brand is exclusive to Walmart and their 40V batteries are “NOT” interchangeable with Ryobi!
Ok... it’s time Clint, for another sit down discussion....

Look like Rambo with that on your shoulder. Big guns blazing!
awesome video
Thanks RC!!!
Is 730 CFM no 750 CFM
Bought one this past Friday, love it. I'm the kinda guy that likes to blow his garage out at least once a week.
Hi, sweet lol, that’s got serious competition with Milwaukee blower lol,
That’s real nass like Clint! Great video 👍
@KiteArmy You need to include this blower at your next Beachball blower bonanza! This one should give Ego a run for it’s money!
Haha, that sounds cool
KiteArmy probably wont be able to figure out how to use this Ryobi blower and say its bad and how much better ego's junk is 🤣
@@JamesMKE LOL, he does love his Ego OPE, that’s for sure. I’d like to think he’d give this Ryobi a fair shot and acknowledge defeat, if the Ryobi ends up being a better blower overall.
Wow ryobi gets serious! Cool speculation on HD throttling ryobi tools to fit the price segments.
Great idea to blow the dust off the pool too 😅
Yeah Guy, I think they definitely did that. Now that Ego is gone, Ryobi will have freedom to do what they want
Now, you're just showing off. BTW, I haven't messed with the tip since I was born.
Lmao 🤣👊🤣👊🤣👊🤣
Ryobi stepping up the game.
Definitely, and it's good to see 👊
That Ryobi blow some hot air woohoo
750 cfm ain't shabby!!
Was kinda shocked when I seen that, but the Deeps definitely seems to want more power to blow Lowes out of the water
The downside is the battery in turbo last about 7 minutes, wish it was at least 10.
Either your a small guy or that battery is massive!
I'm only 4'2"
The $300 price tag is kind of steep. The Ego 650 CFM blower with ten amp hour battery is definitely more powerful. The Ryobi blower is also almost half as loud. With the 190mph nozzle the CFM goes way down.

It is 730 not 750
Don't even know what you're talking about 🤔
@@ToolReviewZone lol the CFM.
I am not in the Ryobi lineup.
That's a sweeeeeeet blower... I bet it could blow the Brown's o-line over.... Go Steelers
Hahahah, damn right David!!!!
Strap it on your back. Ok rocketman. Go straight up for 14 minute. Be careful on your landing.
Haha, like that dude with the rocket back zipping around LAX this week 🤣
So it takes about 10 minutes to drain the battery on turbo and then you have to wait about 3 - 4 hours for the battery to recharge. Fail in my book.
who cares? if you own ryobi 40v you probably have at least 3 more batteries so i think 5 batteries in total is enough for 99% of the population for this tool
Rapid charger charges in 20-30 minutes.
these two blowers are exactly the same
730 CFM, not 750
The only thing for Ryobi now, is that they need to spend more time and money on Battery R&D.
I am going to buy that belong to use when I clean the roof of my house to blast the water that’s for the video you help me to decide to buy it. 😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍🍕🛠🛠🇵🇷🍕
May blow the damn tiles off too lol. This thing is pretty beast
Milwaukee MX back pack blower anyone?
Hell yeah 👊
To bad Ryobi doesn’t care as much about the phone app for their garage door opener that they left customers stuck with.
Yeah, the garage door app was not good at all. I actually liked the opener itself until I couldn't find parts for the damn thing!
real nasss like

Whaaaat...... Yo Clint I thought Ryobi was 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
I'm not a huge fan if their drill and impacts, but their outdoor stuff is really good brother 👊
Only ego? GREENWORKS has a 710 CFM model. They’re probably the best kept secret in outdoor power tools.
Greenworks burn up after two hours of use 🤣

If you get the 40 volt……you will need 5 or six batteries because you only 10 minutes with each charge. Pathetic
