This is a great backpack blower it’s light and I’m able to wear it for extended periods without the fatigue of a gas machine. I really love my greenworks products.
I thought this blower was going to be very powerful but unless you hold the turbo button down it is surprisingly average in power.
The main issue is that when you hold the turbo button, the battery dies quickly.
If I had more batteries it would be fine but they are so expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Jsalvitti,
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 10-15 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. Please also note that this blower has a 4-year warranty from the date of purchase and 2-years for the battery. For further details, please contact us at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.
I already had 80V batteries that I use with my Greenworks mower. This, I was looking for something that would work with my existing batteries. This 80V blower is perfect. It is very easy to use, has three motor speeds, and is fairly lightweight.
