I bought this to give it a try. i have a 5.0 & 2.0 which i couldn't cut my yard without using both and recharging one to weedwack and blow. with the 8.0 i cut the grass in one charge. The grass was high and it was over 90 degrees out. It took me over an hour and it still had a little juice left. i used the other 2 batteries to finish the job without having to wait for recharging.
I purchased these shortly after purchasing the tool I use them in. They work as well as the batteries that came with the tool, I just wanted to have extra batteries if I need them. So far, the battery life has performed well, and as it turns out, I really didn't need to have them. They're nice to have,I want to purchase another tool that uses them when it's available.
I bought this a month ago due to needing a little extra to finish my yard and honestly I should've started with this one! Now the whole yard can be done with just one of these bad boys. The bluetooth feature was not a necessity for me however it is a huge plus. Shipping was pretty decent arrived in under 2 weeks.
Received leaf blower as a Christmas gift and the charger stopped working. Green works web site says their chargers have a 3 year warranty. When I called their service line they said it’s only two years without proof of purchase. The charger has the manufacture date on it and was made within 3 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello there,
We are sorry to hear about this issue. There was a warranty change implemented in 2020. Products purchased/manufactured 2020 and on will carry the updated warranty while products purchased/manufactured prior to then would carry the old warranty. The owner's manual received with the product would describe the valid warranty for your unit. We do apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause and we hope that this clears up any confusion!
