[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blower works well but battery lasts about 10 minutes. The suggestion to run the blower at low throttle is nonsensical if you want to clear the leaves cleanly. Raking by hand is faster than half throttle.
Pros: Easy to Use

Hello GioPlander. We are glad to hear your 80V blower is working well, but we understand your frustration with the battery runtime. Leaf density and thickness can impact performance, and while lower throttle can extend battery life, we know it may not always be practical for heavier jobs. For longer use, we recommend keeping a spare 80V battery on hand or alternating with higher-capacity batteries to maintain cleaning efficiency. Here is a link to our 80V battery platform (https://www.greenworkstools.com/collections/batteries?uff_qzw0l9_metafield%3Aattribute.voltage=80V). We hope this information helpful. Greenworks Product experts are available to answer any questions and concerns you may have, and we will work with you to ensure that you pick the right accessories for your tool! For further discussion, do not hesitate to contact us on 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a Live chat on Greenworks Tools website.
[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
I bought this renewed leaf blower 2 weeks ago. It arrived as advertised used and slightly scuffed. The first time we used the blower it felt very underwhelming. I have a small "cheap" blower that blows about as hard as this one does. The battery lasted 22 minutes before needing charged. I didn't use turbo. In fact I didn't know it had one until I was looking for info on returning it. Surprise, I can't return it because it's a renewed tool. Even if battery and blower do not work as advertised. Hooray!! There is a warranty department. Maybe calling them we work out how to repair the tool and make it useful. Bummer, Warranty number doesn't work. All-in-all very disappointed in greenworks.

Hello YardFullOfLeaves. We are sorry to hear about your experience with your renewed leaf blower. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive a tool that didn’t perform as expected and to encounter issues reaching our warranty team. For reference, the typical runtime for the Greenworks 80V 800 CFM Leaf Blower with a 2.5Ah battery is about 15–30 minutes on low, depending on use, and 10–15 minutes in Turbo Mode. The 22 minutes you experienced is within the average range. For longer runtime, a higher 80V amp-hour (Ah) battery is recommended. We hope this information is helpful and encourages you to reach out to our customer care team through live chat at www.greenworkstools.com or by calling 1-888-909-6757 if you need further assistance.
The blower was powerful and worked fine but only for 10 minutes. Luckily I had 3 other batteries but I was really disappointed with the run time. I was going to buy a snow blower but I’m scared of the having a similar ptoblem

Hello Steve boy. We are glad to hear you were impressed with the power of your blower, though we are sorry the runtime did not meet your expectations. Battery runtime will depend on the load that is put on the unit (i.e., Turbo Mode). You can typically expect about 30–40 minutes of runtime under normal use, and between 10–15 minutes when Turbo Mode is engaged. Battery performance can also vary depending on temperature and the type of debris being cleared. For longer runtime, we recommend using lower speed settings for lighter tasks or pairing the tool with higher-capacity batteries such as our 4Ah or 5Ah options. Please do not let this experience discourage you from trying our snow blowers, they are designed with optimized power management for cold-weather performance. Our team would be happy to help you find the best setting up for your needs through Live Chat on our website or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought to replace an old Greenworks blower. This new one is fantastic. Volume of air is incredible. Will blow wet leaves at less than full speed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blew out all my gutters in like 5 minutes! Plenty of power, did t even realize it was on normal power most of the time and did t even need the turbo higher setting. Quick recharge.
