I messed up and din't show the run time. Not sure why I didn't, but I just ran with 2 batteries both 4AH and fully charged. One being an older battery that gets used a lot lasted 10 minutes and 30 seconds. The brand new one lasted 11 minutes and 15 seconds. I have not seen in any description for these what the runtime is, but this is what I got in a climate controlled garage at 70 degrees. I would expect different results in much colder or hotter temps.
Great review! One comment: you need to use an HP battery with the new one to experience its full power. I used mine with both, and the difference is quite staggering.
@@mottishaked1446 I’ll have to check what kind mine are, but if they are not HP I’ll wait for the new edge batteries. I have 20 18v batteries and don’t want to change. I’ll just run 2 4AH if I have to. I’m pretty sure the new battery I tried was an HP.
Dude. Thank you for rocking day with the bloopers. Great to see humans being human
And appreciate the video. I think I’ll stick with my larger blower. But very interested for the future to pick one up
If you got the bug blower this isn’t needed. It has its place though for travel and people in apartments or townhomes. Focused areas it’s good as well. Does really good with the wheels and areas the big blower can’t fit.
Just ordered that new Ryobi brushless blower today. I've been trying to find the kit (the one that comes with the tool, battery, and charger) for weeks now and it was never in stock or available to order anywhere near me. Finally saw it become available to order this afternoon and jumped on it right away. It should be here in a couple of days and I'm looking forward to getting it. It will be used exclusively for when I wash my cars. I already have an Ego Power+ 650 CFM blower (with a stubby nozzle attachment) that I've been using for a couple of years now but I wanted something more compact and lighter for when I'm working on smaller vehicles where they don't need the longer runtime of the Ego unit.
It’s really good for the right spaces water likes to collect. I think you’ll end up using both for the most efficient process. I’m doing that right now big blower for the large area and this one for wheels and other areas. Of course it will do a whole car as well no problem.
I love the new little brushless one i use it a ton as a mobile detailer, i got mine for 89 bucks. Its light and easy to handle, of course its not a powerful as the 730 or other big ones like the ego etc, but with a towel in one hand and little blower in the other i clear out nooks quick. Great comparison. I was looking at the 730 today at home depot cuz i have 40v batteries already...i should get it soon
Been using the 730 for two years now and it’s is so versatile. Gets the leaves and the beads. 🤣 Plus it’s so quiet. I have the EGO 765 as well and about to do a comparison with the 730 soon.
I just got mine, wow, love it. I bought the kit with charger and 4ah battery for 199$ CAD. Also bought a 2 pack of 4ah for another 98$ CAD. Very impressed with he power for such a small device. I only use it to dry out my car and it does an amazing job. The best thing about it, it's really light, your arms don't get tired at all and that's what I was looking for.
Yeah, it’s crazy good and I hope just the beginning for a new evolution of powerful small blowers.
One thing I'd like to throw out there regarding this blower. Seeings how this is part of the Ryobi One+ ecosystem I figured any Ryobi One+ battery should work. Well I was wrong when I bought my blower I also bought the 8AH One+ battery assuming I would get longer run time. While I'm pretty sure I would benefit from longer run time apparently the 8AH battery also provides added "power" so when you try and use the blower it runs for about 5 seconds but then just shuts off with this battery. So I would say if you buy this blower and want longer run time just make sure you have multiple 4AH batteries.
That’s some good info. HP batteries do give more power. I have some 6AH and they worked fine, but normally I run 4AH just strictly for the weight and I keep an inventory if already charged ones and cycle them out. I usually have the opposite on my Ryobi there are some like the DA polisher that will not run more than a few seconds on the 2.5 AH battery and have to use the 4AH.
The 6AH is good but I run the 2 4AH battery method. I think the 8AH is has too much amps for the Blower probably? Safety feature is my guess
9/10 great info only thing I wanted to see was you used the nozzle extension attachments for the 18 brushless. It's part of the pack and definitely seems like an important part of the tool for garage clean out etc
Great job and the bloopers - amazing!
Yeah I should have showed them. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks! I’ll be getting one of these to help me keep the dust out of my truck! Nice and compact. Also , Hey guys. In case you didn’t know or just forgot, ryobi makes a bolt cutter that I use and works great cutting bolt seals off my trailer doors . Also great for cutting most frozen locks in the winter time.
Thanks for the info I have e a similar Ryobi product, but it’s a tree pruner for large tree branches works just like a big set of bolt cutters.
Dude, u still have one of the best bloopers, love it! I dry my car w/the big boy blower u have but I use 7.5ah batteries and it gets heavy especially when doing the roof/trunk. Def going to pick this up for this year's car washing season. I get the decibel reading from X feet away b/c people typically care about how loud it is to others vs the user IMO. Great review as always!
My hearing comes first. 🤣 yeah even the 6AH batteries weight it down. I sometimes like to run two 4ah over one 6Ah just for less weight. They got new edge batteries coming out soon in 18v I bet it will perform even better.
Follow question: if u already have the 40v 730cfm blower which has been working fine, would u still buy the new blower or stick with the 40v? Have u dried your entire car with it yet? I do like the form factor of the new one.
Thanks for making this video. I was very close to purchasing a cheap $30 blower on amazon but now seeing the results from your test I will hold out for a higher CFM, more premium unit.
There are some great units out there and hope you find what you are looking for.
Just got mine yesterday.
That new ryobi blower Rocks
Awesome!
Superb!! I have the smallest blower,and was considering upgrading to the brushless,but had no way to compare the two….this REALLY helped. Thank you.👍🏼👊🏼
Like night and day. Let us know how it works for you.
Which one did you go with
Great video, but the end blooper reel came in as an added bonus I wasn’t expecting….😅😅
I usually have some pretty good bloopers. 🤣
I was waiting for another car drying review with this!
It’s a very sought after product right now and blew my expectations away.
I loved you chasing the "tool box" across the garage with the blowers. Thanks for the laugh! 😂
Take this and the battery powered foamer to a self service (you spray it) carwash to rinse off the scuds and you've got a great portable setup. Which could work well for apartment dwellers.
It does work well just don’t let the owner see you do a contact wash in the stall. They tend to get mad and post you can’t do that there. 🤣
@@CarsWithKeav Yeah. You have to do at slow times and when they're not there. My plan was, for winter or travel, do a prewash and rinse (that way I know what chemicals/soap is used) at the stall and then a rinseless offsite (to get the road film off)
Thank you for this video I’ve been trying to figure out which one I want. This helps a lot!
You’re Welcome
THANK YOU FOR THE BLOOPERS! omg, THAT actually made me SUBSCRIBE! lol, you brought a smile AND LAUGH OUT LOUD to my face. LOLOLOL
I'm a natural at the bloopers. LOL
Sadly Metrovac hasn't innovated their Sidekick blower using battery power so I've been waiting patiently for a product like this. I bought their 8HP blower a few years ago but having a corded unit was troublesome in my environment so I picked up an EGO blower. However, I would like a compact unit for drying crevices after rinseless washes inside the garage where the Metrovac unit can be cumbersome to use. When washing the summer car I prefer to make sure my black satin wheels get dried before water spots can happen and this Ryobi would be a great tool for that!
It works great on the wheels and is where I have been using a good bit. Especially the bead between the tire and wheel where water likes to build up and drain down and the lug nut holes.
That old small unit is my wheel blower , it was free when they have their battery kits sale ( get a tool free)
That’s how I got mine a few years ago. Hoping this new is as well. I got so many batteries it’s unreal and boxes of unopened tools I thought I needed. 🤣
Hey neighbor, It's a leaf blower deal with it 😂😂😂😂😂
Any noise I make deal with it. LOL
💯
I use the workshop blower after the towel . It worrks well . Biggest complaint is that the design of the inlet will grab a loose fitting shirt . Ill be getting the new one soon .
Yes, the workshop one does grab clothes. The big one too it’s sucks in so much air you have to watch loose clothing around it.
Wreckx-n Effect! Yes!! I laugh so loud when I watch your videos. Thanks for the great review!
The minute I saw the blooper I knew exactly what to do, but was hard to find a part of the video that was appropriate. LOL
Hello. I was wondering if someone could help me. I just picked one of these up and it doesn’t seem that powerful. Does the type of battery matter? I also got a 2 pack of 2AH 18V batteries but I’m wondering if 4AH batteries would make it more powerful? Is there a difference between 2AH and 4AH as far as power is concerned? Any help would be great, thanks.
The high performance Ryobi batteries will work better and 4ah would most likely do a little better. This is the most powerful handheld out there, but it’s still only as strong as the weakest bigger leaf blower. Mainly for around the shop and works well in the nooks and seams of cars when drying. Can dry a whole car as well. Just not good for most yard work. Cleaning off a patio will work pretty good.
@@CarsWithKeav Ok great thank you. Maybe I’ll try a better battery. I like the tool for sure and I think using it as you suggested, drying nooks and such, is probably best. I think I’ll still towel dry and then use this for spots the towel can’t really get to. Thanks for the response.
Going to be honest I have switched to rineless and no longer blow my car dry. Use a towel every time now. The blower still gets used quite a bit around the garage though.
lol 50 feet away from my Mustang GT Corsa exhaust, I don't care about my neighbors... it's a car deal with it xD. Thankfully they are chill about our cars haha. That new handheld one is pretty awesome now you got me thinking about getting one lol.
My neighbors have never complained. I can read their faces sometimes though. 🤣🤣🤣
@@CarsWithKeav lol yea. Thankfully I have active exhaust so I do quiet starts at 530am but my wife doesn't so hers is cold start at 830am lol
I 3D printed a modified pointier tip for the compact brushless blower now it's over 200mph.
Don't buy the original battery you can get generic battery's for 1/3 the price.
I’ve tried the generic ones before they never last and wear down quicker at least the ones ai have tried. I have Ryobi batteries from 5 years ago still going strong. Awesome you got it to 200mph nice!
@CarsWithKeav Yes I realized that but for the price of one Ryobi battery I can get 2 of the generic battery. It's good to have choices either way.
@@badimpulses17 It’s great to have choices for sure. I usually take advantage of Ryobi days to get my batteries for cheap basically free.
Hey Buddy they do have a package deal at my Home Depot for a $149 with a 4.0 AH battery and charger I’m in Alabama
Nice! I saw some other videos where they got with the battery for $149, but have not seen any in my area and none on the website. That’s a good deal! I’ve got so many batteries it’s not even funny, buts it’s good to know there is an option for those without any batteries.
I couldn't find the package anywhere online in TX (yesterday afternoon) but I added myself to their email list and a few hours later I got an email and ordered it. Side note your video on the 600 psi power washer got me into the ryobi line- thanks
@@CarsWithKeav
You should be wearing hearing protection, so the noise to others should be a factor. Btw the one plus batteries are at HD right now. 99 bucks for a 4 and 6 AH combo.
I give it a month or so Ryobi will have a big spring deal on battery combo deals. I’ll stack up more tools I don’t need and never even open up the boxes. One day I’ll need it. 🤣
lol!
Can you send link for the handheld ryobi blower? I can’t seem to find it on any sites
When you watch the video click on the products tab that shows in the lower left hand corner of the video. There is a link there to the none battery one for $99. They are getting sold out everywhere real quick.
Do you think the 18v cordless blower will work for blowing leaves?
It will work for small amounts of leaves for sure like on the porch or driveway. If it’s on grass and tick or wet it struggles a bit.
It’s an HP tool, has anyone tested it with an HP battery?
I have HP batteries and I didn’t see much difference. It could be slightly better, but not enough to tell during use.
Very honest and practical approach to the thing ;) Thank's for the great review of all of them!
You’re welcome and thanks for the kind words. 🙏
What about testing the leave blower on actual leaves
Purpose of this channel is washing cars so reviews are tailored to that. It’s not great at blowing leaves if you ask me. Maybe on a porch, but not in the grass that’s what the big ones are for.
Link for stubby nozzle for the 730cfm blower?
Here you go the guy went from Etsy where I bought, but now has his own website. stubbynozzles.com/products/stubby™-car-drying-nozzle-for-ryobi-730-650-600-cfm-leaf-blowers?variant=44973703594259
Nice garage! I’m jealous!
Thank You! It was a big project and took almost a year. Saved a lot of money doing it all myself.
The kit is Sold out at home depot
Just saw that. The tool only is still available and I hear some good battery deals going on right now.
What’s the main advantage of a brushless tool?
longer Life, Less Noise, Energy Saving, Less Heat, Better speed control, etc. These are some of the advantages over a brushed motor. Only downside as it’s newer technology it costs more.
Is this only available online? Haven't seen in at HomeDepot yet.
I got mine from a Home Depot, but they are getting sold out everywhere. Online bundles with batteries are sold out. I still think the tool only is available online.
... Coming to the UK,I think not 🥴
I assume Ryobi is not carried in the UK? I’m not familiar with what is available to buy there. I do know you can get Bilt Hamber easily and at a good price. Here we have to import from Canada and pay a higher price until we get a distributor in the U.S.
@@CarsWithKeavWe do actually have Ryobi.( I have a few of there things,there snail shop blower,tire inflator etc),but we don't seem to get, all models, they never seem to arrive on these Island shores 🥴. Good example, is there 12v battery jump starter, it's not available over here, oddly.
@@DJJAW11 I wonder sometimes if it’s materials or things used due to import regulations and things like that. Same reason many things can’t come to the U.S. especially chemicals.
"I don't care about any of my neighbors it's a leaf blower deal with it" [ HOA Swat kicks in your door ]
I’m barricaded inside and waiting for them. 🤣
With a fully charged battery, this lasts literally five minutes. It does a great job but I can usually only do 3/4 of my car with it. It’s been like this twice now.
I think it depends on how much time you spend on areas I usually is my big blower and this on lug nuts and the areas that need a blast. I have done a whole car, but when I do I run the 6ah battery usually.
your video, mate, A1.
Thank You
Measuring dB with a phone is like measuring voltage with your tongue.
You are probably right and I’m looking into getting a real db meter. I tend to go by what bothers me more and what is loud to my ears which sometimes seems to be the one with higher decibels. Say high pitch vs a deeper sound.
@@CarsWithKeav sound is very tricky to measure because of the inverse square law and the fact that our perception of sound is logarithmic (every 3 dB the sound energy doubles). So the distance from the source is a crucial measurement too and the specific calibration of the microphone used, regularly dB meters are calibrated to be accurate at high loudness but suck at reading low level or quietness you need a specific dB meter for that, although some Fancy ones can work in orders of magnitude and will allow you to read both ends of the spectrum.
@@amedsoprano I just picked up a calibrated one to use in future videos. I figure I should be okay as I'm usually in the 50db to 100db area I hear less than 30db is when you need a specific meter for that. Thanks for all the info it is very appreciated I love learning and then applying that to the next video. I for sure will do some kind of distance test with all of them and I would think the environment as impact such as a very high echo garage versus outside. Measuring a pressure washer at 2 feet to me is not the right distance I think 5 to 10 feet would be the normal working distance.
@@CarsWithKeav as long as you do all your measurements in the same environment you should be Gucci. Ideally you want a room with as little echo as possible but standardized tests are just that, a standard environment for all test subjects. You could do an indoor vs outdoor test too because of the frequencies and harmonics you could produce destructive interference resulting in a decrease in overall loudness In confined spaces instead of gains. at the end of the day for leafblowers I'd say an arms length is a perfectly fine measument just pick different environments.
Does it have a filter to use for the car
Does not come with any filters.
Yep, you can't buy this thing online. Amazon and Home Depot already ran out of this thing.
Yeah, it’s going in and out of stock all the time. Very popular right now.
Im here
Me too! I can't leave for some reason though and can't figure out why. LOL
Great Review.
Thank You
Kind of want the little guy for cleaning my PC...any opinions would be appreicated
It would work good for that for sure would need to take it outside as it will blow everything around your desk across the room. 🤣
Just get the canned air with the long thin tubes, a LOT cheaper and does the job
Bloopers 😂😂😂😂👍🏿
Some good ones in there.
The ridiculous cost of the battery and stupid short run time why would anyone buy this ? When are people going to realize this battery junk is just going to empty your pocket and not accomplish anything but aggravate you
Not having any issues for me and for many we already have the batteries. I understand for those that would have to purchase batteries. I’m very pleased with my move to batteries in lawn equipment and tools. Your experience maybe different, but it’s not everybody’s experience.
I switched to ryobi YEARS ago, so I own 8 batteries, so that's not an issue at all. Love the power in this compact blower. Great addition to my ryobi collection.
@@johnnyb4728 Agreed, love mine. I’ve been rocking Ryobi for I can’t remember how long has to be at least 15 years back when they were blue colored.
It's pronounced Reeeeeee Oh Bee
Maybe pronounced that way, but not how I’m going to say it. 🤣
