I looked at several brands and decided to go with the Greenworks Pro 60V model. I have been using a electric blower to clean my gutters out. The Greenworks Pro 60V did the job in a quarter of the time. I also use it to clean off the deck, grille area and driveway almost daily as my home is surrounded by trees. The 2.5 Ah battery charges quick enough and when charged last longer than I expected. I like that the battery does not have a memory. A large number of leaves fall on the 3/4 acres that needs to be blown off. It takes several charges with the 2.5 Ah battery to get the job done. I have recommend the unit to several friends and now plan on purchasing a Greenworks chainsaws. I plan to get the 4 Ah battery with the chainsaw and that will speed up the cleanups. The unit is well built . Very Happy with this purchase.
I was really looking forward to liking this. Unfortunately, there are several design features that I can't stand: 1. Something about the way it's balanced wears my wrist out horribly. I think it's because the chute is so big and bulky. 2. The air inlets are on the sides of the machine, so when it is resting against my hip when in use (almost always), I'm literally cutting airflow by half. 3. "Turbo"? Really?! Just make 100% = 100%. Don't make me take another step and wear out my thumb just to get this thing to full power. The only reason Greenworks does this is so they can say the runtime is longer. It's a jerk move. 4. If they really must incorporate a "turbo" button, it shouldn't be operated by thumb, since this makes it more difficult to move the machine side to side (less hand strength/control). 5. The clip for the sling is in such a position that is smashes into my knuckles when using. 6. You can't aim this thing. Airflow is plentiful, but it just shoots stuff everywhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The blower is a great replacement for more handheld gas blower. It's every bit as powerful, even without using the turbo mode. No longer do I have to pull and pull the starter cord hoping it will start. Put the battery in, pull the trigger and go!
This blower is great! Very powerful! I had to move mulch off a side hill. The 4 inches of mulch in this 60 foot bed were gone in no time fast! Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a new blower!
When I unwrapped this leaf blower, at first glance I was underwhelmed. Upon first use of said item, I grinned from ear to ear. I'm used to a big backpack blower, so, this little one had me nervous. Not only was it capable of the task at hand, it's ultra lightweight made the work seem less stressful. The plastic of which this item is made, is nearly indestructible. (I'm a clutz) I will happily continue my use of Greenworks tools!
