EGO Power+Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 880 CFM, Battery and Charger Not Included - LB8800

Excellent! Lots of power! I’m going from a corded blower to this battery powered and I’m just loving it. Easy to assemble. Turbo mode is super powerful! I definitely recommend this model!

I have a gas powered backpack blower. I never thought a handheld, battery, leaf blower would be much use. I got this for my boys (7.5 & 9) so they could blow leaves and walnuts off the driveway in the fall. We have a tree that overhangs the driveway and during the fall it drops enough stuff on the driveway that they can't use their skateboards, scooters, and other wheeled toys. Even bicycling can be tough. So I thought this would be a good thing for them to use to clear the driveway.I was right about that part. It's lightweight, powerful, and easy enough to use and control that my 7.5 year old can clear the driveway in minutes. He loves it and they both love having a clear driveway. I was really impressed with how well this thing did with leaves and walnuts. At least as good as my gas backpack unit, although I don't think it's as comfortable for jobs that stretch into hours.What I was wrong about was this being of much use outside the one task. This thing is amazingly useful. The dial setting that lets you pick a specific flow/volume means you can set it to a very low setting and use it to blow out the garage without making a mess. My gas unit has a similar lock but it's nowhere near as precise so it makes blowing out the garage a challenge. This thing gets my garage clean in just a couple of minutes.But what really impressed me is what it can do in the snow. I have an ATV with a plow for my driveway but my walkways, about 200 feet of them, are made of old brick. They're uneven, lopsided and it's genuine misery to shovel them. You get about 1 foot before the shovel catches on a brick and, if you're not careful, wrenches your wrists and shoulders. So, during the first snowfall this year I decided, on a whim, to see what this thing could do.The results were nothing short of amazing! So far I've cleared walkways with up to 4 inches of snow on them. It's not any faster than shoveling but there's no bending over or lifting so it's much easier on my 56-year old back. It also doesn't catch on uneven bricks.I did find that I had to develop a technique, especially for deeper or harder-packed snow. You let the nozzle touch the ground about three feet in front of you and work it towards you and side-to-side at the same time. This blows off about 80% of the snow. Then you go over the same spot, working away from you and side-to-side to get the remaining 20%. Walk forward to the edge of what you've cleared and repeat.It takes me about 2.5 batteries (mix of 2.5A and 5A) to clear everything but it's so much easier and less frustrating than shoveling. I know my gas powered blower can't do this, in part because the nozzle can't be made to touch the ground.If you're on the fence about getting one of these get off the fence. This thing is amazing!

This leaf blower is one of the most practical tools I have bought recently! It feels very strong in the hand, with fine workmanship and strong power. The fallen leaves and grass chips were cleaned up at once, which saved me a lot of physical strength. In the past, cleaning the yard always had a backache, but now it's much easier. I like its wind speed design very much. It is flexible and efficient. It is very convenient to use. I am really satisfied with it. I will recommend it to my friends!

I am beyond impressed with this Ego leaf blower! After finishing weed eating, the UPS delivery arrived with my new blower. I quickly switched the battery from my weedeater to the blower, and within 15 minutes, my yard work was done. This tool is simply amazing and outperforms my backpack blower. Say goodbye to the hassle of dealing with two-cycle gas engines - Ego is now my go-to brand for yard tools. And as a bonus, it even functions as an awesome fan! Highly recommend investing in more of these Ego tools for a seamless outdoor experience.

The EGO Power+ LB6000 600 CFM Backpack Blower is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to clearing my leaves and debris. While it boasts impressive performance, a few considerations keep it from a perfect score.The standout feature of the LB6000 is its incredible blowing power. With 600 CFM, it effortlessly tackles leaves, grass clippings, and even heavier debris. The variable speed control is a nice touch, allowing users to adjust the power based on the task at hand. I've never had this feature before so I really liked it. The convenience of this backpack blower is further enhanced by its lightweight design and ergonomic harness, making extended use comfortable and less fatiguing.The brushless motor deserves praise for its efficiency and quiet operation. The LB6000 delivers an impressive level of power without the noise associated with many gas-powered blowers, creating a more user-friendly experience for both the operator and those in the surrounding area. I do yard work early in the morning, so my neighbors are thanking me for less noise.The backpack design distributes the weight effectively, reducing strain on the arms and shoulders. The adjustable straps provide a customized fit, catering to users of different sizes. This thoughtful design ensures that users can handle prolonged use without feeling weighed down. I'm 6' 1" and 195lbs and I have no trouble wearing the harness for prolonged periods of time.However, the battery life is where the LB6000 falls slightly short. While it provides a commendable runtime with my 5.0 ah battery, users with extensive clearing needs may find themselves needing to recharge or swap batteries more frequently than desired. Investing in additional batteries could be a consideration for those with larger properties or more demanding tasks.The EGO Power+ LB6000 600 CFM Backpack Blower is a top-tier option for those seeking a powerful and environmentally friendly solution for leaf and debris removal.
