Greenworks 80V (125 MPH / 500 CFM / 75+ Compatible Tools) Cordless Axial Leaf Blower, Tool Only

Impressed. I was doubtful of its abilities after years of using 4 stroke gas powered blowers. But, after seeing many reviews and videos, I decided to get one after my 76cc 800cfm gas blower died. First impression was it's weight. Easy to put on and take off. Next is it's power. Just as good if not a bit better than my old gas blower. Plenty of power for general leaf clean up and was powerful enough to get leaves out of shrubs and creeping juniper ground cover. Battery life: After 20 minutes on my first use with it's included 4Ah battery, it was still running fine, but I did notice a little drop in performance. When putting it on the charger, it showed almost depleted, but charged back to 100% in about 30 minutes. I suspect that it would have easily continued running for another 10 minutes with the original charge. Sound: Incredibly quiet compared to the gas blower. If you're contemplating switching from gas to electric, I'd recommend it with this unit for it's light weight and strength. I've ordered an additional 6Ah battery for which I'm hoping to get 45 minutes run time. Together, I should get just over an hour run time -- enough for sprucing up, and general leaf removal. Since I have many trees on the back of my property, I'll leave the heavy duty leaf cleaning to my landscaper in the fall. But for keeping the property cleaned up and before and after the heavy duty leaf cleaning, this unit will work well. The Turbo Boost is awesome and will get those hard to remove leaves in shrubs and ground cover too. Well built, well engineered -- and NO OIL, GAS, CHOKE, SPARK PLUG, and PULL STARTING! Just pull the trigger. And because it's electric and not gas, I can store it in my basement and not expose it to the elements of our garage. Highly recommended.

Power: This is my very first leaf blower so I don't have a point of comparison, but it's powerful enough to get the job done. Noise: It was just like having a loud vacuum cleaner on my back, but the level is totally tolerable - no headphone or ear plugs needed. One of the most annoying things about gas-operatied leaf blower is the very loud noise (especially at 7:30 AM on Saturdays), so it's a huge plus for this leaf blower! Length of operation: With a fully charged battery I was able to operate it for about 20 minutes before having to recharge it, just as the product description stated. Battery: It takes about 40 minutes to fully recharge the battery & 20 minutes of operating time before the battery is completely depleted. Note that a spare 2.5Ah Battery currently costs190 on Amazon. For me it's worth using just one battery & wait for it to fully recharge to continue. Overall operation: I had to recharge the battery 4 times before I was able to clear the front yard (with 2 large oak trees) that's about 0.2 acre - with 20 min operating time +40 min recharging, it took about 5 hours total. If you have a spare battery this time can be significantly shortened. The blower hose is ginormous! I am small framed (5'2" and 110 lbs) making it somewhat cumbersome to operate the blower hose. The weight of the unit with the battery in position is still pretty light, even a small person like me had no problem carrying it on my back the entire time it took to get the leaves cleared. Without the noise and smell of a gas-operated unit and with the same level of power, this leaf blower is a clear winner! If you don't have the patience to wait 40 minutes for the battery to recharge, I recommend getting a spare battery.

I have used the blower now on 4 occasions in the past week. The machine is well built and comfortable to wear. Assembly was very straight forward with no issues. It has plenty of blowing power, but what I was surprised to find is that I could do a lot more than I thought using the "trigger lock" switch to select and hold operation at a lower speed. At about 2/3 of the trigger lock switch, I had more than enough to do most of what I wanted, particularly with the ability to post the "turbo" button for those times when you need a little more blowing force. THE BIG DRAWBACK is the battery life. Running mostly at max blowing speed I would struggle to get 18 minutes of run time. This was really disappointing, but I knew that going in and so I also purchased the larger 4.0aH battery. I thought between the two of them, I would be able to do my long driveway which takes about 45 minutes. The 4.0aH battery only has about 3-4 more minutes of run time vs. the 2.5aH battery, and that was REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

I purchased this blower to blow light snow from my drive way and it work's quite well for that. I had the battery & charger as I have the 80 volt mower. The 80 volt battery does make the blower heavy but has lots of power and battery last fairly well on high speed.

This is a great blower. Used with a 4amp and 5amp batteries for longer runtimes the MPH and CFM increase substantially. Its the battery amps that make the difference. The 2.5 amp works fine but my 4 and 5 amp batteries take it to another level. The 4amp battery is a bit heavier than the 2.5amp but the 5amp is 6lbs but easily handled because of the backpack design with thick shoulder and waist padded straps. I'm 72 and its no issue once on the back. I doubt there would be much need for higher performing blower because this is extremely powerful.

this thing works beautifully and doesn't require much battery life to do the job ... I'm pleased with it

Muy buen producto bastante potencia cómodo fácil de usar y la duración de la batería bastante buena muy recomendable.

This blower offers really good power with the convenience of cordless. This is a bare tool (i.e. no battery), but it takes any size of 80V Greenworks battery (and can easily be modified to accept Kobalt 80V batteries). I’m using a 5Ah battery from my lawn mower – the battery is a little longer than the housing but only by a little. With this large of a battery, the blower is a little heavier than ideal, but is manageable… a 2.5Ah battery would be better suited if weight is important. Power is really good – it can blow dry or damp leaves from lawn or pavement effectively. Control with the trigger is precise – you can feather the trigger for gathering leaves on pavement for pickup, or go full blast to move them across the lawn. There is also a ‘turbo’ button but I don’t ever use it. This blower is also excellent for cleaning out gutters. Battery life is hard for me to judge because I usually share the battery with my lawn mower, but I’d estimate that I’d get 20-30minutes of use from a fully-charged 5Ah battery. Construction is all plastic – the main portion feels very robust, but the tube is a cheaper feeling plastic but is more than adequate for the purpose. I used to have a 20V lower powered “sweeper” blower. While it was convenient for blowing dry leaves and grass off pavement, and that was all it could do. This 80V Greenworks adds the ability to blow far more material, even when damp and on lawn. Overall – if you are looking for a cordless blower, this is a solid option.
