Einhell Power X-Change 18V Cordless Leaf Blower With Battery and Charger - Lightweight, Powerful Air Blower For Garden, Workshop And Home Use - GE-CL 18 Li E Garden Blower

I bought this as a replacement for my broom and dustpan after many years resisting the temptation. I'm glad I did as it makes light work of all leaf blowing tasks and is ideal for clearing leaves from our patio and driveway, though I haven't yet tried it on wet stuff. It works pretty well on grass and cuts the time taken to tidy up the garden massively. I was a bit dubious of the supplied 1.5 AH battery thinking it might not last long enough, but it gives around 15 mins of life on a full charge - enough for most jobs. It's light and easy to use, recharges quickly and is cordless so can be taken anywhere. Quite noisy, but then it does most jobs quickly enough for this not to be too much of a problem. Robust construction and pretty good value too - overall a quality bit of kit that I'm more than happy to have in the shed. Recommended.

Got this version as well as the twin battery bigger brother to compare. Assembly is simple, good for light duties - blowing the usual of fresh cut grass, leaves, dust, dirt, wood chippings, and water . Like its sturdiness, agility and being light weight, especially with the fan being on the bottom. Battery time ill vary on the battery size and power setting, but seemed decent (have the slim 4ah). Blowing power isn't bad for its size. A shame it doesn't have a turbo button like its brother when more is needed. Main thing i certainly do not like is the connection point with the black adaptor nozzle. You will need 2 people to wrestle to get it back off, which could hurt your fingers/nails. That was very poorly/cheaply designed.Conclusion:If you need something small, simple, which gets light duties done, this will be for you.If you on the other hand need far more power for gardening and quickly blowing away things even further, it'll be the bigger brother, hence this one going back.

Very easy to assemble and use, plus a 3 year manufacturer’s warranty.Lightweight and sufficiently powerful for most garden uses.

Good Einhall product but does not seem as powerful as my friends Ryobi, you must keep any battery fully charged

This is a relatively cheap leaf blower and for the price you get a lot. Lots of the other leaf blowers at this price do not include the battery or charger, which this one does.The blowing speed can be adjusted which is helpful when finishing off the blowing and trying to get the leaves into a pile without them blowing everywhere. It struggles a bit when the leaves are wet since they are a bit heavier and stickier, but it just about gets the job done.After 5-10 minutes of holding the machine one handed it will start to get heavy. You can use it with either hand though and the button to hold is not too strong so your fingers will not be worn out.Once you hold the long hose at the right angle you will get a nice blowing strength but if it points too far up or down it seems weak. After a couple of minutes you'll get the hang of it!Overall for a home leaf blower this works well.

I liked the price of the product, which was well below other blowers on the market.The battery has a long life and charges quickly. It's lightweight and does a reasonble job for most of the leaves I chase into a pile. It doesn't cope well with damp leaves as it lacks the umph to dislodge them. I overcome this by quickly running a broom over the edges of the path/roadway to get the air underneath. I only need it to cover a medium sized garden and I'd rather it be light than more powerful . If it had more umph, I'd have given it 5 stars.

I'm told it's a very good make by someone In the building trade,its easy to put together for a 72 year woman, not too heavy and blows well, very happy with it

Shifts dry and small leafs no problem. Use it to clear patio and when the wife’s out I’ve used it in the hall and kitchen to blow out any crumbs!Not powerful enough to clear wet or heavier cuttings ie Laurel cuttings containing 4 or 5 leafs it struggles to move.
