Best for drying cars!? | Ryobi 730 CFM 40V Blower | Review & Testing

[@margueosakue6159]

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzbin.infoUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 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.

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s a great blower for sure.

[@marcusant6895]

I've been taking care of my cars for years and I guess I've been living under a rock. Saw a comment in another video about using a leaf blower...mind blown. I've been on a youtube tear since trying to find the best one to buy. The Ryobi is clearly worth the money. Thanks for the detailed review and test.

[@CarsWithKeav]

The one step in car washing that causes the most scratches is a drying towel. Leaf blower lessens the chance of scratching.

[@tdtommy196]

Home Depot has the ends you can pop onto the Ryobi now too!

[@robertl955]

Bought one immediately after watching this video. It was between this and the dewalt 60v for me, this one looks powerful. Also thank you for demostrating on mltiple sections of the car. Thats exactly what I wanted to see.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Glad to hear plus Ryobi has the biggest variety of tools that use that type of battery.

[@chrisrodak2854]

I’m crying at the bloopers. 😂 appreciate that, we’ve all been there.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I am there every video and it never gets better. It does help make the editing process less boring. LOL

[@marcomark8]

The outtakes are great. Nice video. Looks great for drying the car.

Thank You

I like the bloopers towards the ending, favorite part

[@CarsWithKeav]

I’m pretty good at making bloopers. Comes natural. 🤣

Just bought this blower and waiting for the Stubby Nozzle to that, excited. Good review as always.

Thank you, enjoy!

Great video, the gag reel at the end was gold and so was the useful info.

Appreciate that!

[@vGzViper2014]

I've had mine since december and i love it especially for cars with no protection i spray Gyeon Wet Coat, rinse and blow away with the Ryobi

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thats good stuff. Similar to the Easy Coat I use from Gtechniq.

[@jeffreywin584]

After watching this, I headed right to Home Depot and bought one. Thank you so much!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Awesome, let me know how it goes. It works awesome around the house for lawn work too.

[@jeffreywin584]

@@CarsWithKeav It works beautifully! Not cheap but great. Thanks, again, Keav!

[@COC785]

I use my backpack blower. Echo PB9010T. 1110 CFM 220 MPH at the end of the nozzle. Great for large trucks or vans.

[@CarsWithKeav]

That will blow some water away!

[@johnnyVGtran]

Great review mate .Ive been using a cordless blower like the small one you used with the focused snout .It was great but lacked the power to fully clean the bigger panels .Ive been trying to figure out which bigger blowerni should get .Dewalt,Ego ,,now this Ryobi .Also you filmed it straight to the point and could clearly see how it worked the water .Love the beemer man!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thanks so much. If you have the money EGO is good especially with the accessories out there for it. The snub nose attachments will be a game changer.

[@chrisumali9841]

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

[@CarsWithKeav]

You’re welcome

[@TeddysVentures]

Good review! Another reviewer said the power levels dropped off after the initial 3-4 minutes with the 4ah battery. Do you notice that as well? Awesome bloopers BTW.

[@CarsWithKeav]

They do drop off over time, but I would say for me around 5 minutes. Still even until it dies at around 10 minutes the air volume is really good. turbo button can be a good thing and a bad thing. Was never meant to be pressed constantly, but I still end up doing it. LOL

[@ShrugMedia]

The ryobi is a no brainier for me after watching this video. I’ve been looking for a good blower to help dry the M3 after washing. Thanks for the review ✊🏽

[@CarsWithKeav]

Its a good cheaper alternative to the E-go stuff.

[@d3s1r3dpk]

@@CarsWithKeav LITERALLY just saved a $300 ego to my shopping list. Gonna watch the video now and see how much we might be saving. that ego 765 is a beast tho after watching...idk i might stick with the ego. It seems ryobi whisper is also about 300 on amazon

[@tdtommy196]

That paint is DOPE!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Thanks

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

I bought a ryobi, 500cfm 100mph. not had a chance to use it, thats a nice bit of kit sir

[@CarsWithKeav]

I had a 500 cfm before I picked this one up. You will enjoy it.

[@AdrianJayeOnline]

@@CarsWithKeav awesome txs for the heads up,

[@TheDailyDriven]

A blower is a must to help with the wash process. I wonder how this compares to a Ego 765 cfm.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Slightly less performance, but costs much less and is much lighter.

[@BigDThatsMe]

Great video, I use a TORO electric with leaf suction option, and it really does a good job, but it’s just too bulky and heavy. I will for sure consider this one.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I using using a craftsmen electric that’s similar to Toro ones. It worked and I use this for my yard as well so made more sense. I have a ton of those batteries to support it.

[@patdud1979]

I still don’t get why nobody came out with a stubby nozzle for the whisper series???? 🤔. Pretty sure it would sell as much as the Milwaukee.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I'm saying the same. I have heard some have done the 3d programming and have the files to 3d print your own. I also noticed while at home depot the new whisper has less CFM now.

[@cameranmanner4701]

Reason why collection so hard to say, because it's an addiction. 😂

[@CarsWithKeav]

This is so true. 🤣

[@aussie8114]

My 18 volt Makita brushless blower gets the job done and then I can use it to blow down the driveway.

[@douglasdever6134]

I've been using a EGO 765 CFM, 200 MPH blower and you still need to go over the vehicle after with a towel. A blower does wonders to keep it down to ONE towel vs. many without the blower. As for Ryobi, is it the best, in this guy's mind it is, and he is probably getting some $$ for saying so. However, almost any blower that can exceed 400 CFM should be able to do the job. So don't go out an purchase a super high output blower just do to a vehicle. I needed the 765 for blower around pine cones and pine needles.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Getting $$, enough ad revenue to pay the taxes on it maybe. 🤣 I love this blower and I do not use drying towels. I may spend more time than others blowing the car off though. 🤣 I have had lower CFM and they work, but it takes way longer plus this is my blower for my yard as well. You can’t go wrong either way I say in the end it depends on what brand all your other tools are for battery sharing.

[@thetacticalape8852]

Looks nice and all but I don't think it has as much run time as the EGO blowers. The handle setup on the EGO looks a little more ergonomic to me as well. It would be great for people like yourself who already have multiple Ryobi tools using the same batteries. Otherwise EGO all day imho.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I see what your saying. I’m looking more at value and Ego is a higher cost item especially across all their tools. I looked at it, but weight was a factor as well with the Ryobi almost 5 lbs lighter. On Turbo it’s says 15 minutes for the 765. This Ryobi is about 10 minutes, but you get two batteries. So it’s all preference. It’s also that age old Home Depot vs Lowes rivalry. Pro tool reviews has ego at 9.8 and Ryobi at 9.6 so both are great 😂 thx and really appreciate the feedback!

[@MrThebigfreak]

Men i want 1 there is none available in canada at the moment exept with thr battery pack wich i dont need i got already 2x 40v batteries from ryobi... i got the expand ryobi leaf blower but its far from powerful like that one

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have so many Ryobi 40v tools that its a plus to have a big supply of batteries. They are so much cheaper buying in a package with the tool than individually. I do understand if you don't need the batteries why you would want just the tool only.

[@MrThebigfreak]

@@CarsWithKeav well in canada right now the pack tool battery and charger is 488$ and the tool only is 198 i know the batteries are 150$ but i got already 2x and i never ever ever used both to empty so for me it a lot of money saved for something i wont use . I just need to be patient for the tool only to be back on the market.

that is some nice color for the bimmer....

Thank You

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

[@adriancastillo8175]

hey brother how are you? after you blowdry it you dont hit it with any detail spray with a microfiber towel ?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I don’t, that is the phase you are most likely to scratch. I use a rinse off protectant such as quick beads by DIY Detail which requires no microfiber or buffing. Just spray on and rinse off. That makes your drying with air much easier. Code CARSWITHKEAV saves 10% on their website.

[@kamilkrait5873]

We can’t get the 40v in the UK 😢

[@CarsWithKeav]

That sucks. We can’t get Bilt Hamber here or the Bog Boi brand stuff without paying some huge markup.

[@muhammadshafieq3498]

Does blower drying work for uncoated cars? Or just use a towel to be faster?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Depends if you have any protection like a wax. If the water beads good the a blower will work. If not towel is the way to go.

[@mingoreyes1]

How does it compare to like the adams mini blower?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have not tried one before to know, but main reason for me is I use it for my lawn as well so two birds with one stone.

[@skrrtproductions]

EGO has some competition 👍🏼😂. I have an upgraded battery for my ego and it’s so loud, but it lasts a lot longer than I need to dry the entire car. Same with its stock battery. That’s probably what’s most important for me. I tried greenworks but the battery would die before I got done so had to return that one. Convenient you can use the battery throughout all your other tools too

[@CarsWithKeav]

I need to use Turbo less often and it would last a good time. Ego has bigger capacity batteries for sure. They are both great. Ryobi is cheaper and when you have as many tool as I have it adds up. LOL My drying is different than most. I don't touch the car with a towel at any point or use a spray aide. I just blow dry till every drop is gone.

[@video728]

Any adapter nozzles yet to cut down on the overall size?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Not yet, but I’m thinking of doing some kind of modification.

[@scott-88]

What's the actual model number of this? Anything I see doesn't state the CFM

[@CarsWithKeav]

This would be the one I have. amzn.to/3PBJE02 I think the Ryobi model number is RY404100

@@scott-88 Do you have a Home Depot near you. Might be cheaper with a Ryobi dealer where you live.

[@blastpestcontrolinc.8648]

Can I use a gas Stihl blower?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I don’t see why not only issue could be contamination getting onto the surface or into the water beads from the exhaust. Especially if it’s two stroke.

[@IGROK2009]

nice job on comparing with an electric blower. Obviously cordless is the way to go

[@CarsWithKeav]

I prefer cordless for sure. I deal with water hoses enough so dont want to deal with dragging it around.

[@F80Ho]

I need to upgrade mine lol, fiance got me an electric craftsman but it’s very weak 😅 To her knowledge it’s the best and strongest one on the market tho 😂

[@brenden5248]

Hey bro you think the 40v 650cfm comes with 4a battery for 200. Think will sufficient to dry my 4runner ceramic coated

[@CarsWithKeav]

Absolutely! It would actually probably have a longer runtime as well with the same battery. 700+ is just overkill 650 is more than enough. Only reason I get the 700+ ones is I use for my yard as well.

[@brenden5248]

@CarsWithKeav nice yea they have a sale 200 for 4A battery and blower. Was looking at the small hand held one but for price better off 650cfm vs 220cfm

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@brenden5248 Small handheld one is awesome for its size, but it isn’t for big jobs just like around crevices and wheels. Clean around the shop, but for a full car you can’t go wrong with the 650. I’m pretty sure Stubby Nozzle Co makes a nozzle for it as well.

[@bmwm333e92]

does 18v ryobi blower do the job?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have one and is okay for small jobs or when traveling, but it goes through batteries pretty quick and does not have a lot of power.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@lalalal8111 I like to live life on that 200mph edge. 🤣

[@rxonmymind8362]

Does anyone just enjoy washing and drying their vehicles in quiet? No motors blaring just relaxing in silence? I guess if you are in a hurry then this is good.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I love noise so that is relaxing to me. We all got our ways as long as you are enjoying the wash experience. I personally don’t like to touch the surface when drying which is why I use the leaf blower.

[@motopad1785]

Link to buy it please

[@CarsWithKeav]

Right now it’s only available at Home Depot. Amazon is way to expensive and what they have doesn’t even have the battery.

I bought the EGO later on and did a head to head and man the EGO is loud very heavy on your arm as well the battery isn’t positioned right, but it does have the handle that helps to hold. Love my Ryobi!

Dang your car must be super waxed. When I try and do this to my car the water doesn’t fly off like that 😢

Ceramic coating and keeping her slick with Gtechniq Easy Coat as a drying aide.

[@jordyworley91]

How often you reable your ceramic coating? I feel like I try and rewax my car every 6 months and might get the results you had drying it once.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@jordyworley91 Ceramic coating has been on there for 2 1/2 years. I use Easy Coat every wash as a top coat so basically putting a 3 month spray ceramic on there every time. The coatings start to stack up and layer. Also, make sure you are using a PH Neutral soap when washing or it will strip your coating.

Not saying it’s not awesome and probably is, but 10x is a bold statement. I looked into it and might review it biggest thing for me is it weighs 30% more and only 70cfm more, but 20mph less. Looks like a viable solution for sure though. Ryobi can be made short as well. Thanks for the suggestion of a product to possibly review!
