It is so nice to not start gas engines now. This electric does a better job than my prior larger gas, and in half the time because it is light weight and clears down to the concrete. A very positive vibe that I can just go out and remove the snow quickly. One charge does my double driveway and all sidewalks with some to spare. This unit was challenged this season with the full 13" and it took it.
An incredibly well balanced tool. Very light weight. Just as powerful as any gas powered unit I have ever used. Very quiet, no fumes and the 80 volt battery recharges in 15 min. ! Awesome!
Lightweight and easy to use. I was looking for a cordless, battery operated, leaf blower and this one was a perfect find. Very simple to operate and does an excellent job for my needs.
It runs for about 20 minutes full speed (not boost) then requires 45 minutes of charging again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Douglas V,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this blower. To extend your run time, try using it on a lower speed when high speed is not a requirement. When used at high speed, approximately 20 minutes in this blower is an average run time for the supplied 2.5AH battery as this unit does draw quite a bit of power on high, however, the run time can be extended by using it at a lower speed. Alternatively, additional batteries can be purchased to extend the run time. This unit is compatible with all 80V Greenworks batteries. The higher the ampere-hour (AH) rating is, the longer the run time will be. For further details, please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757.
