Greenworks Pro 60V Leaf Blower vs RYOBI 40V HP Whisper Series Backpack Blower

The Greenworks Pro is the stronger blower: 780 CFM and 200 MPH beat the Ryobi's 650 CFM and 165 MPH, and it comes as a complete kit with battery and charger. The Ryobi is a backpack unit, so the weight rides on your shoulders instead of your arm, and it is rated at 57 dB. Buy the Greenworks for raw clearing power and a one-box kit; buy the Ryobi if you have long sessions and want the load off your arm. Owners rate the Ryobi well at 4.6 out of 5 across thousands of ratings, and Greenworks backs its tool and battery for 4 years.

• Choose the Greenworks Pro 60V if you want the most air power in this pair and a ready-to-run kit with battery and charger included.
• Choose the Ryobi 40V HP Whisper Series Backpack if you blow for long stretches and want the weight on your back with quieter running.
