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

The Greenworks 60V is the better pick for most people deciding between these two. It matches or beats the Ryobi on raw air power (700 CFM, 170 MPH) and weighs about a third as much, so one-handed work and long sessions are easier. The Ryobi backpack carries the weight on your shoulders and runs on two batteries for over 50 minutes, which suits large lots and people who already own Ryobi 40V tools. Reviewers rate both highly, though the Ryobi has far more owner feedback behind its score.

• Choose the Ryobi 40V HP backpack if you have a big property, want the battery weight off your arms, and already own Ryobi 40V batteries.
• Choose the Greenworks 60V if you want the most air power per pound in a handheld you can carry all afternoon.
