I purchased this to prevent from pulling a muscle that affects my arm. Using the backpack prevents the strain. Because I have a lot of leaves to deal with it is better to rake first then use the blower to have longer battery use. Recently ordered the attachment for gutters. Hope it does well.
I love this, light enough for me, a female, to use. Easy to start, blows wet leaves and debris easy. The battery lasts long enough to finish job. I do have a back up battery. I also bought the mower. I love both products and highly recommend them. No gas, fumes, environmentally friendly.
I was hoping for more power. Its okay for blowing grass off a sidewalk, but don't expect to blow a damp leaf pile
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Benji78 Sorry to hear the 80V 580 CFM brushless backpack blower has not met your needs. With up to 580 CFM at 145 MPH the 80V 580 CFM brushless backpack blower makes blowing through dry or wet leaves and debris a breeze. The variable speed trigger and cruise control allow you to choose and maintain the speed you want. To engage the cruise control lever, pull backwards on the cruise control lever to engage and lock the trigger. Push forward on the cruise control lever to release and disengage the trigger. To use the turbo button, press the turbo button to boost the speed. Release the turbo button to make the blower run at the normal speed. We would be happy to further discuss the functions of the blower just give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS).
Tired of mixing gas and oil I made the switch from my old back pack blower. Pleasantly surprising pleased with the electric backpack does everything my old did and more!
It feels a bit like shoving a cement block with a stick, but it can toss the snow! Not so good for deep or chunky stuff at the end of the driveway. But, will clear sidewalk and driveway in light to medium snow depths efficiently. Make sure you get an extra battery. You'll need it.
