Supposedly Beats a Cat 5 Hurricane: Ryobi 190MPH vs DeWalt 60V & M36 Milwaukee 

A rake would win in a few of your categories: 1. Honest advertising claims 2. dB 3. Runtime 4. Value

I enjoyed Project Farm installing all of his test blowers on a bicycle and jetting away😆💪👍🏻

I strapped my rake to a diesel engine, and it moves well over 1000 CFM of air around. More impressive still, when it shattered, the pieces flew off in excess of 225 mph. I can also use it silently, by moving like a ninja through the leaves. I think it earns top points across the board.

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ru-vid.comUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

I'd love to see a comparison of all of these to one Gas Powered reference blower.

Great video, can't wait for the EGO 765. Love how the Milwaukee keeps its MPH across it's run time, kind of like their flashlights do with lumens. Too bad the Ryobi can't keep that power all the way till it dies.

I'd love to see how the Echo DPB-2500 compares along with a Stihl BGA200. The Stihl is gonna be mighty pricey, however you might be able to contact a local Stihl dealer to borrow a demo one along with their battery backpack. Doubt any dealers will have them in stock right now, but a regional Stihl Distributor Sales Rep should have one in their own personal inventory that they can lend out to a dealer.

I really like my ego 615, so much so I went and got an 18in chainsaw. Also great...

This testing of battery blowers makes me appreciate my noisy backpack gas powered. Yes it's loud, but honestly with some ear buds with solid noise cancelling I don't even notice. I live in the country so no neighbors to bother and all it costs me is a $15 carb every few years or so because buying the whole carb is cheaper than servicing it. 15 years later it still runs like a champ and probably outperforms every single one of these battery blowers by a significant margin.

Makitas 40v XGT Blower is nuts! We use it on our job site and love it and I definitely think you should check it out! Love your videos buddy keep up the good work!

I've actually been looking at that same Ryobi blower since I already have their battery lawn mower. I might actually go pick it up now since this channel and ProjectFarm had a pretty favorable opinion of it. I like how this channel gets real down into the nittygritty of the specs with the spreadsheets and metrics.

I have the DeWalt 20 volt max DCBL722B blower and I find for most leaf clearing jobs, 50% trigger or medium speed works quit well and gives me more run time. I rarely use 100% power as it just scatters the leaves. I also use the 9 AH 60 flex volt for when I need full power, it can handle it easily.

Need EGO 765

Another great video! For anyone interested in doing a bit more research, Project Farm did a comprehensive video a few weeks ago on a bunch of different options. I would love to get a battery powered blower but have absolutely no plans of getting one considering the 10+ year old extension cord Toro I have works really well. Regardless, I still watched and enjoyed the video!

Good video as always TTC. We want to see Makita's new 40v XGT blower and or the 4 year old Makita 36v LXT blower compete.

Absolutely love how you guys take in everyone's requests and comments to make more videos, for us. Great video show more comparisons of additional leaf blowers, but myself has always wondered. I have the Dewalt DCBL770X1 leaf blower, and always wondered how if differentiate again their other 60v model you guys tested. Does air moving from the side help with cfm? I could even help out with the tool for videos sake.

Would love to see the 40v xgt makita blower.

in my city leafblowers are illegal due to dust and noise regulations but I still enjoy watching your videos^^

The new CAT 60v blower advertises 800 CFM and 110 minutes run time but haven’t seen any reviews on it yet.

I love my little 20 V Dewalt leaf blower. Small but pretty mighty for its size.

I’m happy with my old 58v Echo. For the sale price I paid several years ago. Leaves 🍁 and light snow are no problem.

This is a great review man thanks. I've said this before and I'll probably say it again at some point but I'd follow you anywhere sir!

I have the DeWalt blower and can attest batteries make a big difference with a noticeable drop using the 6 Amp/Hr FlexVolt batteries over the 9 Amp/Hr FlexVolt batteries. Run time isn’t a big issue for me as I have a lot of batteries and frankly all the blowers suck regarding run time. I wish DeWalt would make some accessories like tube extensions as the biggest issue I have with their blowers are all their short length as I’m 6’6”. I also have the Gen. 1 20V blower which I find is great for blowing around the shop. I have made my own extensions with flexible cutting boards and duck tape which speeds up air speed but drops the CFM;one of the best uses I’ve found for the leaf blower is cleaning off the snow from the car in the winter. While battery blowers don’t stand up to gas units in either power or run time they are insanely more convenient as they’re really just grab and go.

Gotta get the EGO. I have the last years top 650 cfm, 56 volt blower and it’s a beast! Great deal as well with the kit as just the battery is nearly the cost of the kit with the battery and charger in it. Was my first EGO and was skeptical, but will not be my last. They definitely earned my respect

Really appreciate your tesr methods. Thank you.

For gutter cleaning, walking roof and climbing ladders, sometimes I'd need an extra battery in my pocket depending on the house Dewalt 60v. That's with cold weather and charging while driving

I would like to see how the Kobalt 40V compares since it has some of the lowest specs on the box. But maybe more honest to those specs? Also they seem to be a cheaper option.

i think the ego lb7650 is a very good one to test. since i have one, i never used my stihl br600 backpack blower anymore, Just because it replaces it with almost the same blowing force and gives a lot more comfort. So i think it's worth testing it

Flagship Ego wins nearly all comparisons I've seen this far. It seems like a no brainer next step to add this on the list! Thanks for everything you do!

Would love to see how the Ryobi backpack blower compares

Awesome cold open!

Bought that ryobi blower with the 2 batteries and charger off ebay for 200 bucks because the box was open this spring. absolutely zero regrets or complaints.

I'm very interested in pressure washers... Specifically cordless ones vs gas ones. I live in a place where I don't have access to an outlet, but I do have access to a hose. Gas is definitely a no-go, but they're probably a good reference since they've been around for so long, and are the most reliable for pressure!

I've always said that I prefer CFM to MPH for blowers... Especially since I'm here in Arizona and gravel is a common "yard decoration" because grass just doesn't grow unless you give it tons of water and you shouldn't, because, desert! Anyway, point is that with a higher wind speed, bigger and heavier things will move, which may not be what you want. So with a 190 Mph blower, you'd be blowing grooves into your "lawn" of rocks when you're really just wanting to blow away some of the leaves and mesquite beans that are accumulating. This of course is area specific though. Anywhere further north where leaves and branches are pretty common things to fall, having the extra speed is likely more of a benefit than a curse, well, until you get to your garden with the bark ground cover to keep moisture in. 😀

I'm interested in whatever Ego tools you can review. I'm already invested in the battery ecosystem with a mower and 7.5Ah battery.

Sad you didnt test the backpack blower to compare.

On behalf of those that like tools enough to watch videos about them, thanks for covering the flagship models. Appreciate that. I would have bought into the Ryobi line rather than staying with the DeWALT if I saw this. Seems in the outdoor tool space, DeWALT isn't a good value proposition.

I'm a happy owner of the 60V DeWalt. The only thing I don't like is how quickly it will empty a battery.

Youbshould test the Worx..My stepdad got the Worx WG543 and it was surprising how well it did. After seeing your videos I wasn't expecting much. It had about a 20 minute runtime on a 4.0 battery from the kit. It says 410cfm at 130mph. You should also test the gas powered Stihl blowers to compare. That's what I personally use and they're amazing. Still surprised by the Worx though. Love your channel!!!

Hey you need to tester 36 V Makita be fair. I have one I love it didn’t last that long but plenty good. quiet, great variable speed & trigger. Fair run time. Thanks for your hard work

At some point I’d love to see the HF Atlas 80v. They reduced price recently to $79.99(bare tool), and just released a 4ah 80v battery 🤷‍♂️ I’ve been using their 40v to blow out the shop with the 5ah/2.5ah battery and have been very impressed for a budget electric blower.

I will say, I have the Hart version of the previous edition of that blower (slightly lower specs, and variable trigger instead of knob), and it is pretty good. (at least now that I have two non-defective ones) Though adding a strap (amusingly from an ancient Ryobi trimmer) really helps the arm fatigue, since then you just have aim, not carry too.

Something of note about the Ryobi, the batteries and charger sold separately total to more than the cost as a kit!

You guys should make another insane build but with leaf blowers this time. Strap one of those walk behind leaf blowers to your back and feed it some nitrous!

We use a WEN blower (now about 5 years old) which sells for about $120 for the full kit. It gets the job done for us and might be at least a contender in terms of price/perf.

Add one more vote for the EGO. I have their 650 cfm model and of the 3 blowers I own, it's definitely the best one I own. I'm sure the newer more powerful model is better and should be near the top of the ranking chart when all's said and done. As far as the CAT blower goes, I think you'll find that it's specs are exaggerated. They're trying to play the numbers game and make everyone think they're the best blower out there. But from my experiences and research, the EGO OPE is really good stuff. And once you start buying into the system, you'll get other stuff to go along with it because the batteries fit in all their tools which is nice. I also have their string trimmer, their self propelled lawn mower, and the single stage snow thrower. Everything works great except the snow thrower is a little underwhelming, but not totally terrible. I've been considering getting the 2 stage 24" model but it's a little pricey for me at this point. Thanks for the great videos that help us choose the best tools and value for our money!

Excelente vídeo! Thanks!

For some reason the dewalt 60v blower, 3\9ah battery, and the 60v trimmer was at a few Home Depots near me for $430 before tax. Pretty good deal for the power

Great testing! I'd be curious to see the 24v Kobalt blower in comparison to the big ones. I have it with a 5AH battery pack and its really light weight and not that far off from my plug in Toro.

I have the Ryobi blower, and I basically like it. It has one MAJOR flaw in my book, however. It's just about impossible to set it so it doesn't fall over. And if you're on a roof (the reason I bought it), it's likely going to roll off. It suffers from a very narrow base and a battery above its center point of gravity. I haven't had time to pursue this yet, but I'd like to see if I can easily fab a base plate for it to prevent it rolling. Other than that, getting two 40V batteries and a charger does make it more likely I'd buy another tool in the 40V family. And it does move some air.

A not just any rake! How about the Groundskeeper II rake?! Good video, you beat me to the nozzle options on the Ryobi for tradeoffs on performance. Even so, just the fact that manufacturers were able to get these blowers to operate at a low noise level is incredible, and still move a lot of air. How about a few gas-powered blowers for next time? To compare the performance and price to the charted battery ones? I know I had been very hesitant on picking up a battery blower because I didn't know if it was a good deal to make the switch from the gas one...until it didn't start on the first few pulls the following season! 😜 Thanks again for the vid!

Echo or Stihl battery blower next?

Would like to see the Worx WG521 corded blower in the mix for those of us that don't mind running an extension cord. 800CFM and 135mph claimed are similar to these cordless options, at a fraction of the cost.

I own the 18 V Ryobi blower, and I’ve had it for quite some time. It’s not anywhere as good as a gasoline backpack blower however it has its place in the order of things and if you have other Ryobi tools then it’s a no-brainer. I really enjoy using it to blow trash off my roof and I would never want to carry a gasoline blower up there. It doesn’t damage shingles like sweeping them with a broom. If the new model had been available when I bought this one I probably would’ve bought it mainly because it’s quieter but this was the one that was out on the market. It has a little bit short run time for my taste but if you have two or three batteries you can get through a decent size project and not run out… I wouldn’t use it for anything more then a small sidewalk or your roof but I’ll tell you what else is good for, if you want to start a burn pile or something like that it’s brilliant for fire starting, just get your kindling going and hit it with the blower

Thank you very much.

My brother found a 40 V Hart Blower with a 4ah battery on clearance for $50. For $50, it blows!

The Greenworks 82v 760cfm or 730cfm models would be nice. They also have cheaper models like 640cfm which would have a better score for the price.

I just grabbed the 18v Whisper blower (unfortunately it's rated 450CFM; significant loss going from 40v to 18v) for some light yard work since I have some 18v batteries already. Definitely need to use the HP or Lithium+ HP batteries with it, but it's been nice overall. Man seeing how well the 40v one does makes me consider a return and swap though. I can't see myself using much else of their 40v ecosystem to justify it vs. being able to share an HP battery with the handtools that I'm much more likely to use for DIY homeowner stuff. But it's tempting.

I just got the milwaukee gen 2 m18 and it rocks. $143 at a local store. Totally worth it considering how many damn batteries I have.

It'd be interesting to see how the outlet size affects battery life

I'm sure you guys were cursing Project Farm for beating you to the line. It's great that you're in agreeance about the testing.

Thanks!

Love your channel! Any plans to look at the Stihl blowers like a BGA 86?

Hands down I expect the Ego to outperform the Ryobi and Milwaukee. Those folks have shown that when it comes to battery operated OPE, they are top of the heap. They outperform 60V, 80v, and even Sun Joe's 100V systems.

hell yeah lets see the Cat, looks a lot like a Dewalt battery though. Thanks TTC for another cool video.

I've had Toro PowerJet F700 corded for a couple years, would love to see how it stacks up.

One thing I guess I can like about where I live now is I don't have leaves. I have a 24v Kobalt blower and it is enough to blow the grass back off my driveway.

There's a pretty decent Kobalt 80v blower that I've used. It's not horrible. Wouldn't mind seeing how it stacks up

I have the dewalt and use it for weekend experimental on my Lear6. It's comparable to the RR turbins factory equipped

I would like to see the original flex volt blower. I’ve had mine for years and it runs a long time on one battery and is built like a tank.

I'd love to see the ledlenser Iw5r flex worklight, the snapon worklight and anything similar as workmates have these style of lights and would like to know which would be best

Off topic for this video, but is there any chance of 120 volt plug in impacts being tested? I saw one on the shelf at a local autozone and it had me curious. Love what you guys do.

Would like to see how far the 20v DeWalt is behind the others

The makita model that takes 2 18v batteries would be a great one to do next. It has a suction/mulching function too. Could you have a look at that next

Sent my b model high torque in they sent me a new a model. At first I thought it was refurbished but now I'm leaning new could have been packaged better fedex just threw it around and anvil had poked through box. Just sharing what they did on mine. Reason I thought was refurbished was the rubber side bumper was nicked up and slightly torn but noticed the big staples in the box did it. Only thing that had a mark. I only had it just over a month after I saw your vid so good experience so far

As a homeowner I value quiet and decent performance and decent runtime. The straight up brushed ryobi 40v (actually 36v but you know. Bullshit marketing people) is a good choice. Yes. You should test that one. You can get more performance but at a cost.

I bought the Ryobi in september for my Pops. He loves it, and I bought is specifically for the balance and noise level. But yeah, run time is an issue with a 2 acre yard, and those 40v batteries are EXPENSIVE.

I can say, Milwaukee does indeed maintain performance longer. My Milwaukee mower runs full speed until 10 minutes past the 3 first batt lights went out. Alternatively my 20v DeWalt blower, drops off precipitously from the moment I start using it

still love my echo blower, that power boost button on it is insane. my buddy has the husqevarna, its pretty good from what I remember, and another friend has the stihl... I've never used it, so no comment.

Best intro 😁

You should try the Hart 40v 625 cfm blower, I have one and superficially it looks a lot the same as the Ryobi one

I wonder if removing the foam out of the Ryobi would help its numbers

I grabbed the 610 CFM Greenworks 60V blower for $75 tool-only new-in-box off of ebay. Not sure how it would rank, but it does the job for $75 (already had the battery so it was a no-brainer).

Since we've been on the topic of leaf blowers, Id kinda like to see you guys test a gas powered parking lot blower

I'd love to see a test of the Bosch Advanced 36V-750 leaf blower as well - it claims 750 m3/h which is around 440 cfm, so it will not be the most powerful here, but might be more honest and have a better battery with the lower output?

I would include the runtime of both ryobi batteries... That's the runtime you get with the battery power supplied in the kit.. You can also get a jump start on charging one pack while the other is in the tool OR you simply get a bonus battery for your other one+ tools.. If you arent going to factor in both packs for the run time, then you should take out the cost of one of the battery packs as you haven't allowed it to contribute to the score in any form other than cost.

Can you test all the dewalt impacts with the 9ah battery vs the 6ah and 15ah?

you guys need to test the swrench manual impact wrench

It's great when a tool/battery interface is designed correctly so that just having more capacity doesn't affect discharge rate. It's always concerning when you have a tool that comes packed with some whatever battery, and putting a higher capacity battery on it improves performance. One of the fancy benefits of modern batteries is stable voltage, and yet so many things don't seem to actually have stable voltage.

You should test the 2 different LXT 2x18v Makita blowers and the XGT one.

When measuring air velocity, you have to measure at the surface of the opening. That is how we do things at a lab.

I would love to see the compairison of the Dewalt 60V centrifugal blower DCBL770. There seems to be very limited information on this model.

any chance you could take a look at corded blowers? There's a Worx corded model that supposedly does 800 CFM at 135 MPH. On the flip side, a Toro that does 260 MPH.

I would like to see the kobalt backpack blower and their gen 2 blower, although neither will probably beat the Ryobi 40v

can you do a comparison with the top stihl and husqvarna electric blowers

I would like to see the toro ultro 260 electric blower tested for a baseline. It has been on the market for at least 10 years unchanged. It advertises 260mph, 340cfm so should also be a good test of mph vs cfm compared to the others. Are the battery ones better? Why would I spend 4 to 6 times the money to swing around a heavy battery?

brh i was just chilling watching this and was like when did he make this it said 26 min and i was 14 min in to it mind blowing no pun intended

Wonder how this would compare to my Stihl Kombi KM 131 R with the blower attachment? 🤔🙏🏼

I'd like to see a comparison with the cheapest and most expensive handheld petrol stihl blowers in the mix.

That intro was adorable
