Ryobi has expanded its 18V One+ and 40V HP outdoor power equipment lines with two new cooling solutions designed for workshop and jobsite use. The 18V One+ HP Brushless 9-inch Oscillating Fan and the 40V HP Brushless 18-inch Misting Air Cannon provide cordless airflow options for heat-sensitive environments, according to official product specifications.
18V One+ HP Brushless 9-inch Oscillating Fan
The 18V One+ oscillating fan is designed for portability and versatility in smaller workspaces. According to Ryobi’s product data, the unit delivers 1,200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow.
Key features include:
- Power Options: The unit operates via an extension cord or a Ryobi 18V battery. Using a 6Ah battery, the fan provides up to 23 hours of runtime on a single charge.
- Mounting Flexibility: The fan includes integrated hanging hooks and wall-mount capability, alongside a rubberized handle for transport.
- Oscillation: The head pivots and rotates to provide 120-degree airflow coverage.
40V HP Brushless 18-inch Misting Air Cannon
For larger areas requiring more aggressive cooling, the 40V HP Misting Air Cannon offers significantly higher output. This model is engineered to move 5,000 CFM of air, according to company documentation.
- Misting Capability: The unit connects to a standard garden hose or a bucket of water to provide a misting function, which the manufacturer states can reduce ambient temperatures in a 20-foot area by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Portability and Setup: Despite its size, the unit features 6-inch all-terrain wheels for mobility. It is designed to remain stationary while in use.
- Control: The fan offers three distinct fan speeds and three misting settings. A 6Ah battery provides up to 24 hours of cordless operation.
