If you are happy to move into a new battery eco-system, I would look into the the Stihl gear. They have three levels of battery tools -

AS System for smaller gardens - https://www.stihl.com.au/STIHL-Produ...m-AI-Line.aspx

AK System for medium to large gardens - https://www.stihl.com.au/STIHL-Produ...AK-System.aspx

AP System for large to professional use - https://www.stihl.com.au/STIHL-Produ...AP-System.aspx

I split the difference and invested into the the mid level AK system. I have the hedge trimmers, chainsaw and blower running from two of these batteries, a larger AK20 and the small AK10.

The blower is ok for what it is. I use it to clean out the driveway or on smaller jobs. Buy it as a kit so you get the charger and battery, then add tools when or if needed.

Having said all that, if I wanted a kick-*** battery blower, EGO would be getting my money.

EGO also have a decent product line up to mix and match with.

Otherwise, I would just go with another Ryobi to go with your existing battery system. However, I like how EGO and Stihl have tailored there battery systems to suit outdoor power equipment rather than adapting a tool to an existing battery design like Makita, Ryobi and Milwaukee.
