I hate leaf blowers. But I hate and aching back more and it was taking me hours to sweep my patios and stairs. I saw that this was a recommended leaf blower so I bought it on sale. It's great! Not too heavy and it has a nice shoulder strap. I can put it on minimum power so that I don't send everything flying into the next yard and it's not really noisy. I would highly recommend this.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a Hitachi RB23EAP 23.9cc Gas Blower since 2015, and It is rated at 441 CFM at 170 MPH.
My leaf-blowing duties around my house take anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours.
It is time to replace the old gas-powered unit, so I got this battery-powered unit that is rated at a better 630 CFM and comes with a 2 Ah battery.
The first time I used it, the blower lasted me 10 minutes. I went inside and put it on the new charger. It took just over an hour to charge, not 40 minutes like the listing claims. After the battery charged, I went out to blow more leaves. This time, I only got 20 minutes. I never even used the turbo feature, just regular leaf blowing.
I am returning this. It is not worth the money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello jp2code. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with the 60V Blower (2.5Ah Battery and Charger). We are sorry to hear that the runtime and charging experience did not meet your expectations. Runtime performance can vary based on operating conditions, airflow settings, and workload intensity. When used on high debris loads or in turbo modes, battery drain will occur faster than under lighter-duty use. The 2.5Ah battery supplied with this model is designed primarily for convenient, light to medium yard maintenance rather than extended continuous operation. Regarding charging time, the approximately 40-minute charge claim is typically based on optimal conditions and may vary depending on battery temperature, remaining charge level before charging, and environmental factors. Your observation of longer charge time is helpful feedback for us to review. We understand your decision to return the product and appreciate you sharing your comparison with gas-powered equipment. Your feedback will be forwarded to our product team as we continue improving performance communication and user expectations. If you ever have specific questions or concerns about our products, contact Greenworks via Live chat on our website (www.greenworkstools.com), call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or refer to the FAQ ask section of the tool or ask us a question, anytime.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Within minutes I used the blower on my deck, great job and minimal noise. Love not carrying the electric cord. Lots of power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit I’d great for daily cleanups. The turbocharged lets it complete with my gas hand held blower. Get a few days on one charge. My wife even likes it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this blower in 2018, and it has been a mainstay in my yard arsenal ever since. The strong wind eliminates any grass and leaf debris quickly every time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first cordless leaf Blower purchase and it seems to be great so far . We'll built and a fair price .
