Since I already had a couple of batteries for other 60v Greenworks tools, it was good to be able to buy just the blower, in which the other batteries work perfectly. The blower is effective, and the price on the manufacturer's website was competitive to the price on retailers' sites, plus better availability.
Ease of use and features, Multiple Heads for blowing helpful. 5 star Blowing power very impressive, even with wet leaves, also distance in general leave blowing, excellent. 5 star Strap use/all the time 5 star Battery Life beyond expectations. 5 star Battery charging from 0 to 100% in fifteen minutes, very unexpected 5 star Speed control with Turbo. WOW. 5 Star Full unit weight is heavy. 3 star Price 4 star Well worth with all features/performance.
I have recommended and demonstrated already. 4.62 rating over all and a rounding up gets to an easy 5 for all around performance and easy of use.
I've been using mine a couple times a week for the last 6 weeks or so. It's comfortable, lightweight and effective on both dry and wet leaves and debris...and it's fun to use. Controls are easy and the blower is relatively quiet. The 5mAh battery life is decent, providing about 30 minutes of continuous power. The area I'm clearing usually takes 40-50 minutes and I have a second battery (4mAh), so the 2 batteries provide plenty of power to get the job done. It's a really great tool, especially for the price. Highly recommend.
It blows leaves across the yard. With skill you can blow them into a pile. Then your children can run through the pile and scatter the leaves, and you'll have to do it all over again.
I use this blower just to clear my driveway the battery does run out of life very quickly when running on turbo. Very disappointing seeing how big it is.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Fishnut49,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this blower. To extend your run time, try using it on a lower speed when high speed is not a requirement as this unit does draw quite a bit of power on high, however, the run time can be extended by using it at a lower speed. Please note that blowers are considered a high-power draw application which means they do tend to drain the battery quite rapidly in comparison to some other tools. Alternatively additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with all 60V Greenworks batteries. It is worth noting, the higher the ampere-hour (AH) rating is, the longer the run time will be. For further details, please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757.
