- Is the Ryobi 40V blower/vacuum worth it over a separate blower and vacuum?
- If you deal with heavy leaf fall, the 20:1 mulching saves a lot of bag space and trips. A dedicated blower is lighter and faster for quick cleanups, so the 3-in-1 makes most sense for real leaf season.
- How long does the battery last in vacuum mode?
- Ryobi rates over 25 minutes using both 4.0 Ah batteries, and vacuuming with a loaded bag drains them faster than blowing. The 90-minute figure refers to the batteries' capacity across the 40V line, not continuous runtime in this tool.
- How does it compare with a gas leaf blower?
- It matches gas-like airflow at 600 CFM without fuel or pull starts, and it is quieter at 70 dB. Gas still wins on runtime for all-day commercial work, but for home use the two included batteries cover most sessions.
- What comes in the box?
- The kit includes the blower/vacuum unit, vacuum tube and 10.5-gallon bag, two 40V 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries, and a 40V rapid charger. The adjustable harness is part of the unit.
- Do the batteries work with other Ryobi tools?
- Yes. The 40V batteries fit the more than 85 tools in the Ryobi 40V system, so the kit batteries can run trimmers, mowers and chainsaws.
