Whichever brand you go with, if you're planning to go full battery products then you're better off getting same brand for everything so all your equipment takes the same battery and you'll have several of them

I bought both the 750 CFM Ryobi and the 765 CFR EGO. Did some tests of my own and ended up keeping the EGO and returning the Ryobi. The Ryobi is pretty good, but I like the EGO better for the following reasons: 1. Clearly more powerful and seems to push leaves and debris a further distance 2. One problem with the Ryobi is you cannot rest it against your waist/leg as the air is sucked in from the back end. The air is sucked in from the side on the EGO. I find my self positioning the back end of the blower on my upper leg as the force of the blower tends to push it backward. 3. The EGO has two handles on the side which are helpful for tilting the blower when you are in a tight space. The pros for the Ryobi is that it comes with two batteries, is less expensive as are it's replacement batteries. They are both very good and I think people would be happy with either unit.

Both great blowers but for me I'd take the Ryobi for one simple reason, it's amazingly quiet. You really have to hear difference in person to appreciate the difference between a "normal" blower and the Ryobi Whisper series.

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzfaq.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.

Just bought a 765 and it gets the job done quick. It's big and kind of heavy but no issues when using a shoulder strap. Can't wait to use it for the snow.

Thankyou for the Ego and Ryobi blower comparison’s, since I already have the Ego mower. I’ll vote for Ego!!

Just a heads up when you did the cruise control test on low you had the run times mixed up on the blowers. Not sure if you'd be able to add annotations for that. But otherwise great video and thank you for the breakdown!

Ego also have a 765 kit with 2 batteries for about $120 more. Comparing batteries the 40v x4Ah Ryobi provides 160Wh of power while the 56v x 5Ah Ego provides 224 Wh of power. That’s why EGO takes longer to charge and lasts much longer on the low speed. For higher speed tests it’s normal the RGO has lea advantage since it’s much more powerful, the leaves were moving much better with the EGO in the video. If the leaves move better then the time to clear will be shorter. For me the EGO is the clear winner in time to clear the yard which is the point of having a blower. You didn’t show how the flat nozzle works on the EGO, it would be nice to see what it has to offer. Also the strap is a nice addition.

I just bought the EGO 56V 765 CFM blower, and retired my STIHL BG 56C! No fumes, no fuel, and less noise! My neighbors hate me a little less.

This started from a pretty normal to chaotic review comparison towards the end with the swivel chair lol. Also, the Face Flap challenge should be a metric for all leaf blowers. Great review sir!

There is no doubt the EGO is more powerful, it does have far more Wh than the Ryobi. When I was looking to make a purchase it was at the top of my list but i ultimately chose the Ryobi because I was coming from a convertible gas powerhead and still had all my attachments. EGO made it so you could not use existing attachments on their convertable powerhead and that was a deal breaker for me. Their attachments were overpriced in my opinion. In real world use, I can trim edge and blow all I need to on one battery with the Ryobi and still have 2 bars left so I'm happy. Thank you for your video.

Having owned both Ryobi mowers and other tools, and Ego mower and tools, I've noticed that my Ryobi battery life wasn't great... The batteries ended up losing run time within a year and a half of consistent use, I found my mower not being able to complete my lawn on one charge halfway into my second year with the product. My Ego mower and tools have had a year of consistent use, and I haven't really noticed any drop off for battery capacity.

Good video. I ordered the 2 battery kit for the 765 cfm blower and it comes with a fast charger. Roughly 45 mins for full charge. Not bad at all for $450 from acme tools I mostly dry cars after washing with the ego and it’s a beast. turbo use.

I laughed way too hard on the spin test. Thanks for the comparison!

Every tester claim using what comes out the box (standard set up),but never use both batteries from Ryobi. Lol😅 one charges while the other is in use is a huge advantage. Kudos for him to mention it

OMG, the spin test was hilarious. Very thorough comparison. 👍👍

Great video! since I already have quite a few of the Ryobi 40v products, I'll vote for that one!

Amazing review video! Probably one of the funniest I've ever seen. Well done sir!

"As i get older i learn its not just about how hard something blows" Couldn't help but laugh😂

Ryobi is doing great! 2-3 years of having their tools and no issues so far!

Been waiting for this matchup. Thanks for the info!

I got into the Ryobi ecosystem because of a sale. .....and have never regretted it

It's all about the chosen platform, and I'm deep into the RYOBI platform, with two trimmers, blower, 2 chainsaws, lawn mower, Earth Auger, Vacuum, hedge trimmer and over 30 one plus 18v tools. So for me it's RYOBI.

I have been thinking about buying the EGO, but now I’m considering the Ryobi for the following reasons. It one with two batteries which if you add them together has a longer run time, unless you buy a extra one for the EGO which will cost you $500. Also les wear and tear with two batteries should last longer. The Ryobi is quieter probably because it is not quite as powerful. The nozzle with the variable speeds that you indicated that once you cut them you can’t go back is no big deal, just don’t cut them. You can control the air flow with the variable speed. I’m now conflicted as I was thinking about the EGO. But it will come down to the power for me as I want a blower that can blow some light snow. Great video, keep them coming.

Ego I love ,I just bought the 16 inch trimmer love the unit they had a sale on the cheaper model came with blower. But the one zi bought ab506.00 Canadian with no blower. I LOVE THEM.

Ego👍👍👍 I just finished my lawn removing leaves 🍂 and can't say enough about how well it works 👌👌👌👌🌟

Great video!!! I noticed you listed the number backwards for the lowest speed time test. May want to correct it.

I bought the Ryobi Leave blower but also bought the 6.0Ah battery so I can finish doing my lawn.

Hi, I know this video was done some time ago, but I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your video. I love your comparison tests, and you had a lot of fun doing it. I specifically wanted a comparison between these two blowers because, these are the most popular ones used by most Car Detailer’s. The comparison between the two is very close, and the decision is even harder, but I do know that I will definitely be buying one of these two blowers. A lot of the Detailer’s seem to like the EGO, because of the power, it will dry the car much faster, and better in some of those hard to reach areas. (Just made my mine up as I was typing this) I will get the EGO, because of the following two points: from your comparison the battery does last longer than the Ryobi’s, and also since it is more powerful I should be able to dry the car faster, which means that I can turn the blower off faster, which should make the battery last longer. I will also see if I can purchase a second battery for the EGO, which will also help. Thanks again, Dexter H.

Warranty is NOT the same. Ryobi offer replacement warranty while ego offer repair warranty, and their warranty service is disgusting. In Australia all Ryobi products are replacement and if you have too many problems they will give you your money back, ego will just give you a hard time when it comes to refunds.

Thanks. I was looking at these two blowers. During father's day of 2023 both kits were the same price. Lowe's did a buy $200 Gift card, get $30 so it was more work to get the same price but doable. I got the Ego, but it was a lot of back and forth, really digging the about of competition between the different brands.

Good comparison. For me it would be the EGO because I already have those batteries. Did you think the EGO was loud enough that you would want to wear ear muffs while using it? Thanks for a good review.

You keep coming up with test like the faceflap and chair idea, and the next thing you know they'll be calling you "the science guy". lmbo that was pretty good, great presentation. Thinking I'm going to pick up the Ryobi tomorrow based upon this review.

With the ryobi design when you did the turbo test, the log was blocking what looks to be 1/3 of the intake whereas the ego intake is further forward and unobstructed by the log at the rear of the unit. Curious if they were actually closer on that test due to the restriction. Good review!

Both are the same price, Ego seems like a 10x better option hands down. Better battery, more powerful, easier to hold, the list goes on. I was debating which one to buy but this video clearly shows that Ego is the better option considering they're the same price now.

I would probably buy into the Ryobi platform, though the ego is better in power. Ryobi has far more tools to choose or historically Ryobi comes up with tools that EGO will never make.

As someone withouth a lawn nor leaves to blow. This video is 10/10

The spin zone was awesome. you need a contingency plan in the event you have lift-off!!

I am in the market for cordless lawn tools so very timely video.

Got the ego last week and it’s definitely a heavy beast. The side to side motion is taxing on the forearm, even with the shoulder strap. Definitely a trade off between maneuverability and power/battery work time.

Those were my two top choices. I went with the EGO 765 CFM because its handling is much better (handling is important since both are heavy). The balance of the EGO is much better than the Ryobi when the battery is installed. That's because the EGO naturally points downward when you hold it whereas the Ryobi wants to point upward. Also, the two rails on the bottom make the EGO much easier to maneuver when you need to position the blower with two hands for trickier applications. That's why auto detailers prefer the EGO form factor. EGO also sells a stubby auto-detailing nozzle - not sure if Ryobi does.

Great review. Some things I observed. In the case of the Ryobi, I happen to have a Ryobi backpack blower along with two 4 & 6 ah batteries. Ryobi 6 amp hour batteries last significantly longer and have a more powerful Max and nominal voltage performance. So it was not surprising to see the e-go with 56v own it but I will admit I was a bit disappointed. I expected more. Another thing worth mentioning is that though Ryobi advertises the handheld blower as being its most powerful; it's not. The backpack blower is more powerful. A test was conducted that compared the two and the backpack crushed it. That's why I bought it over the handheld. The backpack blower will also blow about 25 minutes on turbo with two 6 amp hour batteries. Ryobi now makes 12 amp hour batteries so theoretically one should run for about 50 minutes and being that it would be running 12ah batteries once again the Max and nominal voltage supply to the unit would be a little higher than any of the smaller batteries. Just food for thought For the record E-go also has a backpack blower that is probably more powerful than it's top performing handheld unit.

I have been trying to decide. This is an exceptional review! I have an Ego trimmer so will have to consider that.

Thanks for the video. Very informative. I subscribed to you and gave you a thumbs up. If I get selected, I'd love the EGO blower. Thanks again!

I’ll take the Ego win with more power , & longer lasting performance even if $30 more , I’m vested more with DeWalt but from other blower reviews on them seemed to perform less favorable . The Ego blower would start my new platform followed by their trimmer , & mower that all gave great performance reviews as well.

It took me a year after you made it to see this review but thank you all the same. Based on the thorough review you did, even though I would probably pick the EGO by a nose, I'm going to buy the Ryobi because it was closed and I have the Ryobi snow blower and four 40V Ryobi battery so I'm already invested in the ecosystem. Thanks again, subscribed.

Thank you for the comparison report, it really helps me to determine which one to buy.

Gotta say.....the initial "Chair Test", was quite possibly on par with Project Farm's "Bicycle Test"....at the very least, was EASILY AS entertaining! 😂

I bought a ryobi since it’s my first blower I was on a budget and I got the 40v 525 cfm which moves the air about 110 mph and set me back 179.00 after taxes added it came to 190.00 since my yard isn’t that big i didn’t need anything more powerful since I’m only using it for light work like cleaning garage floor and guy at Home Depot says I can pick up wet leaves grass clippings and clear off front and back steps I don’t get a lot of leaves in the fall my yard so small only takes me a half hour to rake leaves in a pile then bag them with this I won’t have to rake much

Quite often when getting into battery powered tools you choose a brand and stay with them because of the batteries working with various tools that you buy. So if you have a string trimmer and blower and hedge trimmer etc. you will already own multiple batteries to run as long as you want.

When testing the run times you an actually see the difference in how the air disperses from each blower the ryobi seems to have a more concentrated air flow and the e go seems to fan out

Love the test you did. We have an Ego mover and love it, it cut where the 6.5hp has mover dies

5:07 You can go back if after you cut the different options you then put the smaller size inside the bigger one. Kinda like a telescope. Don't cut it at the guid line cuz it is indented cut it either after or before. This is just a theory I don't have one of those blowers so it might not work but it should. In theory

Great comparison and right to the point....I appreciate you.

I have the ego and definitely hate their warranty I had it for 1 year and it just stopped working. Just bought the Ryobi and love the less noise

Great video love the Ryobi

After 5 plus years all my Ego batteries are starting to fail. So something to consider is the price of the batteries when you have to start replacing them.

You are definitely funny & great at testing thanks

In Canada right now, regular price, the Ego is actually $9 cheaper than the Ryobi. Thanks for this review, exactly they type of review I needed to make a decision and based on this, I would have paid more for the Ego as mentionned but it's actually cheaper, bonus!

I like the Ryobi 730 CFM blower so much that I bought another one. I use one for starting to blow snow from the house's front door so that I don't leave footprints on the deck, the stairs, and the ramp, on my way to the car in the front and one for starting from the garage to blow snow away from the garage doors and from the pickup truck parked in the back. I even bought 2 more 6 ah batteries. I now have 33 battery-powered tools...some DeWALT and most Ryobi. The Ryobi blower is more powerful than my Stihl gas blower. The new Ryobi blower comes with 2 tips but I just leave both blowers with the 190 mph tip mounted.

Really like your presentation style, and the quality of your video. Really a unique testing approach and style. I had to ‘replay’ the spinning chair segment couple of times, priceless! I dont know if you’ve already given these away, but I just bought the Ryobi, based on this and a few other reviews. BTW, Ryobi gives you two of those tips, so you can have an extra one, or have two cut for two different speeds. And by cutting the tip, you lose MPH, but gain CFM. Both of these are good units, and I hope us Consumers will benefit from ever increasing performance and battery advances. Lowe’s VS Home Depot; EGO VS Ryobi, is what it comes down to, not to mention the platform, like you said. Your channel must be new, but you deserve more Subscribers. I just HIT that Subscribe button! Stay safe and Healthy! 👍✌😊

I've had the ego 530 for years, and without issue. The 765 just looks like too much fun not to upgrade.

So informative, clear and fun! Thank you!

I am an EGO user. If you are on the roof doing the gutters having a battery that last 9 minutes longer vs getting down to get that second battery makes a world of difference. I do not run on full turbo but only use it on wet leaves or deep piles. I have had one issue with my EGO and that was the 5ah battery. Two and half years in, it stopped. I contacted EGO and they sent out a new battery that week, no charge.

Good information. Would love the Ryobi to replace my old weak blower. Thanks

Ego quality is #1. After 5 years, all my Ego still going strong, including all batteries 👍👍👍.

The chair trick was awesome. I'm returning my ryobi for the ego

Very clever, thoughtful and in depth. I expected EGO to win but did not expect such a blow out.

actually if you count the whole setup kit that they come with. Ryobi actually run longer since it comes with 2 battery and not one.

I need string trimmer too, so im going ryobi

EGO in my opinion still stands head and shoulders above the rest due to their battery platforms available with good motor assemblies and selection of equipment that works with it. It has matured over the last 5-10 years at a pace above the others including Home Depot’s house brand Ryobi. I hear they will even have a 12aH battery coming which for a blower is too heavy but for some other devices is crazy in terms of current and longevity that can be provided. Remember they were an exclusive at HD and were dropped…probably due to HD assuming their venue is the only premiere store which is waning more and more with homeowners and Amazon convenience.

Your battery test were great! beside lil speed times swap on low speeds test

Actuall test starts at 11 min. Thx for the review!

I love this guy. The spin zone lol love you man. Something I wou have done too!

I need a blower so bad for my lawn care, I like the blower Ryobi.

Great video. How do the overall handling of each compare? I know it’s close. Is there one of these two that is just easier to handle/hold when using? Does one put less strain on your wrist/arm? The way the Ryobi seems to flare out in the back, makes it seem more cumbersome, compared to the EGO, is it? Unfortunately the big box stores may have display models, but you get actually rest them. Thanks!

Great video with detailed analysis.

Based on a 40v architecture, a 4ah battery is storing 160 watts times 2 batteries for a total of 320 watts for the Ryobi; the Ego comes with a single 5ah battery on a 56v architecture for a total of 280 watts. The Ryobi includes 14.3% more battery power storage based on these shipping configurations. Seems like push overall when comparing just these tools. The real question is "Which battery ecosystem offers the best overall value when comparing all the tools you might use?" Mower, trimmer, edger, chainsaw, pole saw, snow thrower... Once your committed to an ecosystem, it makes way more sense to stay in that ecosystem even if one particular tool might slightly under-perform a rival.

I'm already in the EGO line, so that's my pick.

Best reviews. Subscribed

Great comparison! EGO is the blower I would pick! I’ve never used any EGO products, but I would like to get this blower in the future 👍

Thanks for the great video they are defiantly close in ever aspect. For me i would vote for the Ryobi since of the platform and cheaper batteries if you needed more.

I've been using my 1st gen EGO 480 cfm for many years. Great on smooth surfaces. Ok in the grass. My ECHO PB9010T makes short work of anything else.

Ryobi makes the most powerful blower at 1/2 the price , love the chair test absolutely bonckers 😂

I like the Ryobi one!!

For certain circumstances, these blowers will be great. For me, the best handheld blower by far, is the Husqvarna 525BX !

I like the Ego but I have Ryobi products already so I’ll go with the Ryobi

Thanks for doing the comparison. I love my Ryobi 40V stuff and would love to win that blower!! You win....the chair comparison is the funniest comparison I've seen yet on Ryobi tools!

Thanks for the review! The EGO is the one I'd go with. Just add another battery to the purchase. By the way... adding the cost of another EGO battery in the review would be nice,

I just missed the sale on the Ryobi that included a third battery for free. Damn.

I would prefer the Ego,but I would buy the Ryobi because of the 2 4ah batteries... In a sense your saving a lot of money by not having to buy another battery which you always seem too need. But I really love the Ego line...

I did a lot research for a blower I have a gas one but always breaking down on me so if I can pick one of this will be EGO 765.

I absolutely LOVE this video! I was so inspired, I just subscribed. Your video is so very thorough with so many tests... thank you! I've been trying to decide which non-gas tools to purchase, before the leaves start really falling soon. Based on your video results, I vote for EGO due to the longer battery life & stronger power. Though, I do love the "whisper" sound of the Ryobi & quicker charge time. Both do seem to be great quality. The chair test was beyond epic! I have a quick question... within the EGO line of leaf blowers, do you have any other suggestions for *your* preferred EGO models or do *you* only prefer this specific EGO model? I'm just getting familiar with this green non-gas line of lawn power tools. Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I'd love to see you test out the Ryobi 40V, 730 CFM Blower with the battery backpack link using Three 6Ah batteries!!!! Please!!

Definitely would go with the go blower! Already commented on the last video very excited for the giveaway results!

going to get a ego to go with my mower and weed eater

Nice blower thinking of getting one👍

It is mostly about getting work done. So most things being equal - go with the one that blows the best. EGO. You should lead with that.

Awesome, AWESOME Review 🔥👍
