Ryobi 18v One+ Battery Operated Blower

Has anyone used or bought a Ryobi 18 volt One+ Battery Operated Blower?
I have seen models listed as 2108 and 2180.
100 MPH, 280 CFM, but no one mentions the length of time it operates.
The YouTube videos don't really show much other than blowing light snow or grass clippings from a sidewalk.
I am leaning toward the 18v versus the 40 or 56 volt models because I have a bunch of 18v One+ tools that I would like to use the new lithium battery with.
Thanks for any comments or input.

i bought one, the length of time is decided on which battery you're using, sort of on the weak side. I have a toro that screams but tethered by the cord. I wanted something that i could use down the street if needed. It is more of a light duty blower for sure.

this probably isn't too helpful, but my experience with battery blowers is they seem to eat batteries like crazy as compared to other tools using the same battery (string trimmers, etc.)

if you buy it, post a report

I love my ryobi 18v for home use.

For a blower go with a gas backpack style and never look back. Great for blowing off light snow in winter too. [emoji477]

I have that ryobi 18v blower and LOVe it...The "+" batteries will power it for 30-45 minutes of use. Great foe home use, great power. If you need to run a blower all day, get a gas powered Stihl.

Thanks for the replies.
I have both the wired electric blower/vacuum that I used to chop up small tree debris from a hail storm a few years ago, and a back-pack gas blower we use for the mountain of cottonwood leaves in the yard.
I wanted the battery operated blower for a quick sweep of my deck and lower level patio that would only take 10-15 minutes without dragging cords or hefting the back-pack gas operated blower.
30-45 minutes is longer than I had hoped. I couldn't find a straight answer in the various forums or on YouTube about the actual run time.
Thanks again!

Have one with 3 of the larger batteries. Usually go through two when blowing leaves from edging to mow, then blowing everything off after mowing. I love not dragging a cord around. Makes blowing out the gutters much safer, too.
