This fall take back your yard from noisy gas equipment and fumes.

As one of the most popular and trusted cordless lawn and garden brands in the U.S. RYOBI™ has made a name for itself with 50 years of history in the power tool industry to back it up. RYOBI™ has positioned themselves in the industry as a top alternative to traditional gas outdoor equipment with the introduction of their 40V line of products. Power and Performance are cornerstones of the 40V system, and advanced lithium-ion technology and brushless motors have catapulted RYOBI™ to surpass the power of gas with cordless alternatives.

The industry is in the middle of a shift to cordless, battery-powered technology from traditional power sources like gas or cords, and RYOBI™ is leading that charge. Over 100 U.S. cities and towns have banned or restricted the use of gas-powered leaf blowers. According to the California Air Resources Board, using a traditional, commercial gasoline-powered leaf blower for one hour creates the same level of pollution as driving a midsize car for 1,100 miles. Gas-powered equipment not only creates harmful carbon emissions increasing the pollution of our air, but it also contributes to noise pollution as well.

With countless citizens working from home over the past year, the need for quiet lawn equipment, especially leaf blowers, increased dramatically.

RYOBI™ answered this need with their WHISPER SERIES® family of blowers, the industry’s quietest blowers. The newest addition to this family of blowers, the 40V HP Brushless WHISPER SERIES® Blower, delivers all the power without the noise. Operating 7X quieter and delivering 45% more power than gas1, this blower sets an industry standard for power and performance.

This blower is outfitted with an array of features for a better user experience. The ergonomic design and cruise control setting make this blower easier to use over extended periods of time, and the turbo button comes in handy when trying to blast away stubborn debris. Included with this blower are two silicone speed tips which have different nozzle sizes to optimize airflow or airspeed depending on your needs. Two 40V 4.0Ah batteries provide extended run time and the rapid charger delivers 4X faster charging compared the previous 40V Charger (OP403).

In addition to reducing noise and air pollution this blower delivers cordless convenience.

No more having to hassle with mixing gas and oil or starting your blower after it’s been stored in the shed for months. The 40V HP Brushless WHISPER SERIES® Blower starts immediately, simply pop in a battery and get to work. With a move to cordless, customers can forget about needing to refuel, buy spark plugs or winterize their leaf blower thanks to choosing a more efficient and eco-friendly way to maintain their outdoor spaces.

1The RYOBI™ 40V HP Brushless WHISPER SERIES® Blower produces 21.75 Newtons of blow force compared to the RYOBI™ RY25AXBVNM gas blower, which produces 15 Newtons of blow force.
