I work part time landscaping, and I LOVE this blower. It's more lightweight than I expected, efficient, and powerful. In addition, it's not as loud as most blowers I've used before.
This blower is just as good as the gasoline or corded ones. It is very powerful on its highest settings, normally I just set it on level 2 to blow out grass clippings on the sidewalks.
I have had this tool for three years and am extremely satisfied. It was the 1st Greenworks tool that I purchased and have since bought 4 others. The blower is very easy to use and the battery lasts about 1/2 hour on full power. Three power levels for different tasks. Cleans sidewalks, decks and cobwebs off buildings.
I bought this to replace a corded leaf blower that I use to blow off my patio and around the pool. This blower is great, it is just as powerful as my corded blower, but getting rid of the extension cord makes life so much easier. No more getting caught on every obstacle or having to untangle a 100' extension cord.
Own the blower now for about 5 months and have found it to be very useful for clearing leaves and debris. My wife like the weight and feel and the instant on. I like the "turbo" feature for quick bursts of heavy leaves. Battery life is 3 about 30 minutes, which works for me and if I need more, a full charge is in 45 minutes, which while that's happening I'm either bagging the leaves or burning what I've just collected.
