This is the fifth 60V Greenworks tool that I buy. Blower is great. It gives you way more fine control of the amount of air that you want to blow than a gas blower. Almost no noise at all, other than the natural noise of air blowing. I love this.
60 V leaf blower runs through 60 V battery way to quickly.

The 60 V leaf blower has low power unless you kick it up to the power blow. I had a charged up 60 V battery and it only lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. Only enough power to blow only about 1 large bag of leaves. This was not nearly enough to handle the leaves on my .4 acre lot when the leaves come down. Very disappointed in this product.

Hello Ed Castellaw,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time. If you are running the unit with a Greenworks 60v 2.5Ah battery the run time is up to 30 minutes on low; up to 10-15 minutes on high, please note the run time is depending on the battery being used. 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. Alternatively, additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with all 60V Greenworks batteries . *Some exceptions apply for the 60V 8.0Ah battery. It's worth noting, The higher the ampere-hour (AH) rating is, the longer the run time will be. We hope these tips will help! If not, we would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
Nice design, powerful, long lasting battery, very quick charging. Blow power is very good! Downsides: both blower and battery are heavy. Your arm gets tired quickly, especially if doing overhead blowing. I've only had the unit several weeks, (and it gets used several times a day), and it's starting to whine, making me think the turbine bearing is already starting to fail. Time will tell.
This blower has good power on trigger and really has great power on turbo mode. It is light weight and includes a shoulder strap. I can blow out the garage, patio, sidewalks and driveway without deminishing the charge on the 2.5 battery. I own the whole lineup of 60v tools and this leafblower does not disappoint!
Love the leaf blower. It is so nice not to have to use an electric chord and drag that around, all try to crank up a gas blower. So much easier to just grab the Greenworks leaf blower, insert a battery. Does just as good a job of clearing my patio of debris.
The turbo button is really strong- better than my previous gas blower. This is so much easier, quicker, and more convenient than a gas blower. Plus I can use the same battery and charger as the mower so much less clutter too.
The power in both of these tools is very impressive and long lasting. The weed eater powered through thick grass that was several inches tall with ease and the battery lasted longer than expected. I haven’t used the blower much but have been very impressed with the air speed. It works much better than my old plug in blower.
