The husband brought this home and I love it! Very compact and easy for me to use. Will be using the greenworks back pack blower this fall instead of our heavy gas blower.
The blower is powerful without doubt and lightweight too. But the battery doesn't last longer than 20 min. After that it's overheated and needs about an Hour to cool down before you can start recharging it. I bought it on the promise it works for 40 min:(
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're really sad to hear that the battery on your tool isn't perfomring. The average runtime when using this tool as a blower on low is up to 40 minutes however on high/turbo the average run time is up to 15 minutes.

I was hesitant to buy anything that was battery powered lawn equipment - this thing has strength. It worked like a charm. I was able to blow off the whole driveway and sidewalk after mowing. The battery as long as I needed it. Very impressed It was super easy to put together out of the box and easy to use.
I highly recommend this tool. As a new homeowner I have been in the market for yard tools. Tried one of these battery powered tools. Awesome choice. The blower has great power to push debris of my driveway and porch. Ergonomics is great for the tool. I bet it will save money in the long run and seems like less maintenance and is probably good for the environment(battery waste, but less gas). I am impressed by the amount of power that these battery operated tools can produce and I think they put out just as much power as gas tools that I have used.
This blower does everything my gas backpack blower does on about a tenth of the fuel cost(Electricity vs premixed fuel). No fuel to buy or carbs and spark plugs to clean! I have about a 20 to 30 min routine for my yard, driveway, and part of a road that I do once a week or so in the mountains of NC(lots of pine straw, leaves, mulch, etc..). Love the cruise control on the trigger, and even though I really do not need to hit the boost button, I find my self keeping it pressed for the extra power. Battery still holds though my routine no problem. Excellent design with the battery, motor, & fan mounted on your back. Flex tube is a thick rubber that feels solid and like it should hold up for along time. Love the metal tip for scraping things off the driveway. Very Very Happy!
