Does what it's supposed to, but not without some flaws. On the plus side, the airflow is variable, and the cruise control can lock it at any speed. It's a bit heavy, but the shoulder strap and the balance make it easy to maneuver. On the downside are the snap-on tip which does not lock in place very well and falls off whenever I hit something like a bush or the grass, even lightly. The worst thing is the obnoxious high pitch of the fan in turbo mode. If you are going to use this for more than a few second you will want some hearing protection. Turbo mode also burns through the battery very fast.
Should have bought this years ago to get rid of the corded electric one I have. Works great blowing grass clipings and debris. Have not tried on leaves yet
I have hated string trimmers for edging, ever since they were invented. They never did a good job for me. Holding them vertically was hard on my back. The GreenWorks 8” blade edger is the best of both worlds. It’s wheel carries the weight and the blade gives the professional trim that only the old gas powered edgers of yesteryear, provided. I am very pleased with my purchase!
For the price, it's hard to beat the performance of this 60V 610 CFM blower especially considering that includes the battery and charger. Battery last as advertised on normal high mode. Kick it into turbo and you quickly deplete, maybe 10min run time. However the turbo mode is considerably stronger and really makes clearing objects a "breeze". Deducting one start because I received the incorrect item initially and the replacement took about twice as long to arrive. Then upon arrival of the correct unit the box had been broken into and the battery was taken out. So another round with customer service to have the battery replaced. Almost a month after my original purchase, I finally had a blower I use.
I bought this blower after I read a lot of really good reviews but I am so disappointed because I just bought it for a really quick cleanup on my patio or driveway not at all for cleaning my backyard of leafs in the fall so even for that it’s not gonna work more than 15 minutes and you do need to use the booster because otherwise doesn’t really do the job so again it’s not OK even though a lot of people said it’s OK no it’s not
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Iangutz,
We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery. Blowers are considered a high-power draw application. Using the turbo button would lower the run time. The run time can be extended by using the product at a lower speed when higher speeds are not necessary. When used at high speed, approximately 10-15 minutes in this blower is an average run time when using a 2.0/2.5AH battery as this unit does draw quite a bit of power on high. Alternatively, additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with all 60V Greenworks batteries *except for the 8AH battery. The higher the ampere-hour (AH) rating is, the longer the run time will be. Since we are not sure which battery you are using with this blower, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please kindly contact our customer support team by sending an email through the customer contact page located on our website or at 1-888-909-6757.
