I was a bit skeptical if this would serve my purposes, as i wasn't sure if it would be powerful enough or if the battery would last long enough to complete my work. I have an acre of land with a very long driveway and many decks to keep clean. I originally thought this would supplement my gas blower but i soon realized this one blower does it all for me. The battery last me about 40 mins. On the turbo setting. ( i mostly use the turbo setting) Its lightweight. The battery recharges in about 20 mins. The blower will move small stones on turbo. Ie asfault gravels size. I have the greenworks trimmer too. The batteries are interchangable and the trimmer works really well too. I would recommend.
This product keeps unexpectedly shutting off on me

I just purchased this Greenworks Pro 60-Volt Max Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Electric Leaf Blower less than 5 Months ago & only used it about 7 to 8 times to this date of, 4/20/2020. It has been unexpectedly just shutting down & turning off on me while I am blowing & while it is on full power or extra power as if it is shorting out inside somewhere or the included Battery is already failing which may or could be causing this issue. I am unsure which of the Two it is or may be? Anyway, it's quite annoying when I am blowing around my Yard with this & have the power button held all the way down & this Leaf Blower just decides to suddenly turn off for no apparent reason. This is happening even with the Battery Charge Status showing a charge level of 3 out of 4. I am not happy that I am already experiencing problems like this one with this product & am most likely going to have to file for this product defect issue that I am experiencing in hopes that Greenworks can also experience what I have with it & repair or replace either the Blower itself or the Rechargeable Battery whichever it is that is causing the Blower to unexpectedly turn off on me at times while in use for no reason & for which it should not be doing being less than 6 Months used & used only 7 to 8 times so far.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this blower to combat the neighborhood tree leaves. My yard is 100% rock and stone so the dropping leaves cannot be raked up, and my previous leaf blower did not do the job, this blower worked great to take care of the problem.
I can't even begin to tell you how glad I am that I bought this tool. I use it in my landscaping work daily, and I am just so thankful to be able to use it to make my projects look great, while not having to suffer the caustic effects of gasoline engines. Not having to carry gasoline cans in my van; not worrying about spilling gasoline on self, clothing and ground, not having to breathe exhaust from tools I am using, not polluting the air we all breathe, not deafening myself, bothering clients and neighbors, the list goes on and on. This blower is plenty powerful enough, and is pretty quiet. I just love how hassle free it is to transport in my van and wheelbarrow, no spills, no fumes. Just good, clean execution of projects. I fricking LOVE IT!!!
PS I first purchased the tool about 2 years ago, and still going strong. I have since purchased Greenworks' 60v String Trimmer, Hedge Trimmer and Chainsaw also for my small landscaping business, and I feel similarly about all of those. I am just very, very, very happy with my decision to make an investment in these tools. I consider it probably the best investment decision that I have made yet in 20+ year career.
I bought this product to replace an electric blower and WOW am I glad that I did. This is so easy to use and I was shocked by the power. I use it frequently around the house to clear off the porch, patio, garage, move leaves, etc. It's so easy to use even my 13 year old daughter likes to use it. I borrowed one from a neighbor, but it was a different brand, before I bought the Greenworks one and it doesn't come close to the performance of this one. My next purchase will be the compatible hedge trimmers and week wacker.
I bought this a couple months and have had trouble with it cutting out . Seems like Trigger isn’t working correctly. Have to squeeze it several times before it kicks back on. When it does it runs great. Plenty of power.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Moorfred We are sorry to hear of the issues you are experiencing with the Pro 60-Volt Lithium Ion 540-CFM 140-MPH Brushless Cordless Electric Leaf Blower. The most common issue related to a unit intermittently working is the connection or battery charge, if the charge is full; please make sure the battery clicks into place. Intermittent function can occur when the battery has not been correctly seated into the compartment. Please note, if you decrease the speed all the way, the unit will shut off and the startup step(s) will need to be repeated. If the issue persists, please contact us at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com for further assistance. GreenWorks will be happy to further investigate this issue with you.
I usually wait to write any reviews, but not this time. I just used this Blower for the first time today and because of my experiences, could not wait! I have been primarily using a corded model from another source for several years and a couple other under powered battery operated units for just sweeping leaves off the porch.
This new Greenworks unit takes cleaning up my property to a whole new level! I could not believe how powerful it was compared to anything I have used in the past. One thing in particular that was not even part of my buying decision was the variable-rate trigger. I had never considered how convenient such a feature would be when cleaning up in enclosed spaces (like my small concrete backyard and garage) where you don't need or want full power. I was also able to use the Turbo-Boost feature to blow out some water puddles that tend to stagnate on my mostly concrete property.
I cannot speak to the longevity of the unit or the battery life, but if it holds up this is definitely worth 5-Stars!
