This blower worked great for three years until the trigger piece broke inside the trigger handle. I was unable to get a replacement part sadly.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear the 80V backpack blower provided strong performance for several years, but we are sorry to learn that the trigger assembly eventually failed and that you had difficulty finding a replacement part. Components such as trigger assemblies can experience wear over time depending on usage frequency and operating conditions. We understand how important serviceable parts are when maintaining a tool, and we appreciate your feedback regarding part availability. We recommend reaching out to our customer Success team with your model and serial number so we can review the available replacement options and help identify the correct part for your blower. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools website, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this back back blower because the hand held blower was getting a little heavy...now I love cleaning up the sidewalks and driveway
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dont Listen to these 1 star reviews on here there's 2. I have cheaper greenworks equipment ive had for years the batteries keep recharging even used daily, the more expensive equipment works even better like this blower. Super powerful. When Reading reviews you guys got to remember anyone could get on here and write a review, even competitors, jealous people, or whatever. I have a Tool Shed full of Greenworks equipment, and I'm only going to expand it. Multiple review videos online compare other battery competitors, and Greenworks came out on top, even compared to the more expensive battery powered brands. There are other very good battery brands, that even try to focus on power, and charge twice the bill of a Greenworks. Greenworks still with the value, and comparison in money spent came out on top. You are looking at a brand that is for you, and you being happy, and cleaning the earth. P.s I have worked and ran many landscape groups. Working hard and equipment that works good is very important. Yes Greenworks stands to the test.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got it today but it is powerful and will do the job I need it to do. My only issue is the website will not let me register it or add it to my tool list on my account.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my gas powered backpack blower. I've been very pleased with my purchase. The easy start up, quiet power and no gas smell is a win. I can run this full go for about 15 minutes which is perfect for my yard.
It's also lightweight on your back. Would definitely suggest having an extra battery to swap out though.
Bought this blower just a year ago, and it had served me well when it worked properly. Some months ago, however, the trigger switch started acting up - no allowing me to squeeze all the way. Upon taking apart the handle, I saw it's using a Chinese CPXTE 61-20P switch, which has been worn out pretty badly, and one cannot find a replacement part for it. So, now the blower is dead until I figure out a workaround. Greenworks' Engineering needs to do better on this - perhaps using a semiconductor switch instead.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will be my third season using it to clear leaves. It does great by itself, but I sometimes use my other 80v greenworks at same time to push a larger area. I am very happy with both.
