I bought one earlier in the year for our vacation home and liked it enough to buy another one for our first home when our gas blower died 6 months later. It worked great there was never any reason to look at other blowers.
I bought this to do light jobs around the house and dry off my car after washing it and it works great for everything I needed it for. After I cut the lawn and edge it I use it instead of dragging out 150' of electric cord. It's more than powerful enough for what I need it for. I did notice that after blowing off the lawn and sidewalk which is not very big I still had half the battery life left.
I was very skeptical about battery powered lawn tools. In the past I was a gas powered lawn tool guy. The shed always had that gas smell and oil and gas were spiked all over the place. Greenworks has changed my mind. Our first purchase was the 21” mower and since we bought that we have slowly been replacing all of our gas tools with greenworks 60V tools. The extended battery is the best. I have a 1000sqft. Patch of grass surrounded by manicured hedges. I can mow, edge, trim the hedges, and blow off the patio on one charge. It is amazing that one battery can charge run all these tools.
This blower is great I have had it for two weeks now. On the extended battery I can blowoff my roof, the patio, and the driveway. About 45mins of run time and still have enough battery left to edge the yard. So happy to have switched over from the standard cord powered blower. No gas smell either!
I've used a corded blower, but abandoned it because the cord was not suitable for a wooded lot. I then picked-up a smaller battery operated blower, but it didn't last long and had little power to handle the acreage. Now I own this blower and am exceptionally pleased with its power, the long lasting battery and how quickly it charges, about an hour. This tool can handle just about anything!
I was mildly skeptical since I have never used an electric blower, but I really like it! We have a driveway that needs to be cleared regularly that is long and on a sharp incline. It works great, and because of how light it is my arms don't get as tired. I will eventually need to buy another battery because the charge just barely works for the entire area, but don't see that as a big deal because I knew that when I bought it.
