Different blower. Much larger. And it comes with the 4A battery. Much better deal, if you can find it.

Per my understanding (partially if that…) -

When evaluating the performance of a blower like the RIDGID R86043, both the miles per hour (MPH) and the cubic feet per minute (CFM) are important, but for different reasons:

- **Miles Per Hour (MPH)** measures the speed of the air being expelled by the blower. A higher MPH rating indicates the blower can push air faster, which is useful for dislodging debris or materials that are heavier or more stubborn.

- **Cubic Feet Per Minute (CFM)** measures the volume of air the blower moves. A higher CFM rating means the blower can move a larger volume of air, which is crucial for clearing larger areas or handling more debris at once.

For most practical applications, CFM is often considered more critical because it gives a better indication of the blower's ability to move debris over a given area. A high MPH with low CFM could mean the blower can push air quickly but might not move a significant volume of debris very far. On the other hand, a high CFM rating indicates that the blower can efficiently clear larger areas, even if the airspeed isn't exceptionally high.

110 CFM may seem low compared to larger, more powerful blowers, especially those used in commercial or heavy-duty settings, where CFM ratings can be significantly higher. However, for a compact, handheld blower designed for light-duty tasks, such as clearing leaves and debris from walkways, driveways, or workshops, 110 CFM can be adequate. The key is to match the blower's performance to the intended use case, considering both CFM and MPH to ensure it meets your needs.

I've been waiting for a good deal on this blower for a while. This is the regular price for the blower by itself. You're essentially getting the battery and charger for free. There's no way it's actually 65% off from $197.

Friend of mine who lives near several Home Depot locations tells me that they also have this blower kit combined with a string trimmer for $99. Can't find that online. Maybe HD is getting rid of some Ridgid?

Search for ridgid here and look for the post, there is a BS link to check for local stock. It will likely be in overstock by the other lawn equipment. Price on the box for mine was $229, rang up $98

These ridgid deals keep coming up. Between the brushless blower and string trimmer, and the impact wrench, it's apparently ridgid season lol.

I have this, the nozzle is too short for leaf blowing unless you're cleaning off a picnic table. It can move dry leaves if you bend over or use it to blow out gutters. It's not a replacement for a full size blower but will work in a pinch.

I have the larger leaf blower and it works well to clear off leafs with my several ridgid batteries.

Considering adding this one to air blow dry my cars with after washing them. Anyone use this for that purpose?

I use this type of blower to clean dusk off tables, etc. in a shop where we sand metal. It's great for that use because of the variable speed. I can blow off an area without creating dust everywhere. I can back off the speed if I start creating dust in the air versus knocking it to the ground to pick up.

(I have the Dewalt similar one)
