Frequently Asked Questions

How quiet is 59 dB?

59 dB is roughly the volume of a normal conversation. Gas blowers typically run 75-85 dB, making this dramatically quieter.

Can it replace a gas blower?

With 730 CFM and 190 MPH, the RY404150 matches or exceeds most handheld gas blowers for residential use.

Does it work with Ryobi ONE+ batteries?

No, the 40V HP system uses different batteries than the 18V ONE+ platform. They are not cross-compatible.
