Exceeded my expectations with regard to the performance of the blower. Unfortunately, the battery life is short if you use "turbo" mode. When will batteries be available as the blower did not come with a battery or a charger? I only have the one battery which came in a package with a lawnmower. Fortunately, it works in the blower too. Unfortunately, the battery life in the mower is even shorter than the mower.
Lots of power. Really blows things around. I used this to replace a corded blower. This is way faster to use. Don't have to lug a long cord and plug it in then gather it back up and put it away. This is many many times faster and easer to use. I bought two to use one at each house.
I love the 80 volt line, so much power. This back pack style works great, use it all the time, actually, i don't. My kids like it so much, they do all the work. With the rapid charger, I have two batteries as I have other equipment also, but one charges as I use one. Because this sits on your back, you don't notice the weight of the batter and don't get the torque in your elbow. you could use this all day if needed.
I bought this blower last week and can't say enough about it. Can blow out the gutters on my house and my yard on one charged battery. I will be telling my friends about this.
So I've got 30+ years using a gas powered blower commercially and at home. I opted for a battery powered one based on my experience with the chainsaw and a chance to double my battery capacity. So far so good. Once in awhile I do need to batteries to clean all the lawn clips on the 3 acres here but I'm loving the convenience and now my wife/son can use the blower.
Father’s Day gift because my smaller blower crapped out. The battery lasts very long, it’s super powerful and the turbo feature is great for quick bursts at stuck on grime.
