[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my gas powered backpack blower. I've been very pleased with my purchase. The easy start up, quiet power and no gas smell is a win. I can run this full go for about 15 minutes which is perfect for my yard.
It's also lightweight on your back. Would definitely suggest having an extra battery to swap out though.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the electric leaf blower and have been blown away! It works great, battery lasts a long time and it has a lot of power. Would recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This leaf blower is amazing because it has great power and at the same time it’s light weight and easy to manage.
Bought this blower just a year ago, and it had served me well when it worked properly. Some months ago, however, the trigger switch started acting up - no allowing me to squeeze all the way. Upon taking apart the handle, I saw it's using a Chinese CPXTE 61-20P switch, which has been worn out pretty badly, and one cannot find a replacement part for it. So, now the blower is dead until I figure out a workaround. Greenworks' Engineering needs to do better on this - perhaps using a semiconductor switch instead.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blower run time is 50% of what is claimed, unless you operate at much lower speed. Could use some improvement on the air intake screen area to reduce the annoying noise.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the 8OV, 800 CFM leaf blowers. It works great but the speed/airflow reduces significantly when the battery reaches around 50%. And the battery only lasts around 8 minutes on normal high speed. There is a turbo mode, but that really reduces battery life. The weight with a 2.5 Amp-Hr battery is more than enough to make my arms feel the strain within the battery life. I've built up some muscle using it but still have to switch from hand to hand. One really needs 2 or 3 spare batteries with a fast charger if one has a large area to remove leaves. I use it without the reducer attachments for best results. I've tried it with a strap, but it reduces the motion one can turn the blowers for best results. I've rated it a 2, because the original product page indicated it could run 60 minutes at low speed (which I interpreted as non-turbo) on a fully charged 2.5 A-Hr battery. I big miss when it only lasts about 8 minutes.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective

Hello Tgrrr. Thank you for sharing your experience with this 80V Blower. This unit does not have preset speeds, it has variable speed trigger. Holding down the trigger with the lightest force will generate the minimal speed provided from the unit. Holding down the trigger firmly will generate the 800 CFM. As stated in the product description, with a Greenworks 80V 2.5Ah battery, while lightly holding the trigger at low speed, you can get a runtime up to 60 mins. To further assist you to investigate the run time you are getting with the included 2.5Ah battery, we kindly ask that you start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call us at 1-888-909-6757 to speak to a customer experience agent and they will be able to assist you better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an 80v 18 inch chainsaw which I love so much that we bought this leaf blower that uses the same battery.
