Bad Product and battery
on November 20, 2025
Posted by: Tom074
I bought this a week ago and after a full night charge the batter will last you for 10 minutes. Pretty much useless. DO NOT BUY this or any other product from this webside before confirming the running time with full power. They will mislead you with the maximum running time with lowest power, which will not do the job it is intended for.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Tom074.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We understand that the runtime might seem shorter in some situations, and we would like to share some information to help explain why. Blowers are considered high-power tools, which means they naturally drain batteries more quickly than some other tools. Runtime depends on several factors, including the battery’s amp-hour (Ah) rating (higher Ah = longer runtime), the blower’s power setting, the type and amount of debris being moved, ambient temperature, and the battery’s condition.For reference, the expected runtime with a 2.5Ah battery is approximately 11 minutes on Turbo, 17 minutes on High, and up to 30–60 minutes on Low, depending on usage. Actual runtime can vary based on battery condition, power mode, and how the blower is used. Greenworks designs its product lines so multiple batteries can be used with the same voltage tools. This blower is compatible with Greenworks 80V batteries ranging from 2Ah to 5Ah. Using a larger battery may provide longer runtime, but it may also add some weight to the tool. You can view our full 80V battery platform here: (https://www.greenworkstools.com/collections/batteries?uff_qzw0l9_metafield%3Aattribute.voltage=80V). We hope this helps you get the most out of your blower!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure if this is because it's refurbished but battery life does not seem to be very long as well as it randomly shuts off. It is easy enough to deal with by just releasing the trigger and then restarting it but kind of annoying. Power is much stronger than my 40 volt from greenworks however, the battery life is not great. Maybe 10 minutes on a full charge?.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe

Hello Wisnobored. Thank you for sharing your experience with the refurbished 80V 750 CFM blower. We are glad to hear you find it more powerful than your 40V model, but we are sorry the battery life and occasional random shutdowns have been frustrating. For reference, the running time for the Greenworks 80V 750–800 CFM blower with a 2.5Ah battery is approximately 11 minutes on Turbo, 17 minutes on High, and up to 30–60 minutes on Low, depending on usage. Factors such as battery condition, power mode, and how the blower is used can significantly impact the exact runtime. Since your experience is below these typical ranges, this may indicate a unit- or battery-specific issue. Refurbished units are covered by Greenworks’ refurbished product warranty, and our team can assist with troubleshooting, replacement, or repair if needed and within warranty time frame. Please contact our customer support team through Live Chat at www.greenworkstools.com or by calling 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). Have your unit, battery, and charger ready, along with the model and serial number, so our experts can provide a quick resolution.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several leaf blowers but this 80v Greenworks is by far the most powerful. This unit gives gasoline blowers a run for there money. I recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought as a renewed product. Comes with a battery that will power this leaf blower for a long while. Strong blower and is able to get the leaves effectively from even hard ti reach places. Weighty as well but luckily this product comes with a strap. 5/5 would recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great blower, powerful, strap is handy. Disappointed in battery life. Does not live up to expectations as far as holding a charge very long.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a long time user of the 80V Blower and own a few of them for our property. I needed a battery and the deal that was offered for the newer version was like buying the battery and getting the blower for free....very happy I did. The newer model is the "go to" now. My favorite new features: * not having to press the on button to start to use it * turbo mode sends a whole pile of leaves off the drive into the woods * base has more stability * new type battering easier to grip to change * locking mechanism for speed is easier to use I liked it so much I ordered another one of them
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this about a month ago. Wasn't clear on what the runtime would be at higher speeds, so I dug down into the Q&A section and came across an entry answering user polord that the run time at high speed would be 50 minutes. After calling about this, the agent tells me that the answer was for a completely different product. Why on earth are you showing me Q&A for the WRONG PRODUCT!? This is VERY MISLEADING and there's no excuse for this, Greenworks.

Hello Schwinn. Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating it is to come across conflicting information when researching a product. Many online retailers’ group similar or related items under one main listing, which can cause reviews and Q&A responses from other versions of the product to appear together. While this setup is meant to help customers see broader feedback across a product family, it can sometimes lead to confusion if details differ between models. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we are glad you reached out so our team could clarify the correct runtime information for your specific unit. To avoid any mix-ups, we recommend ensuring the product review or Q&A you are referring to is for the exact model you are interested in. If you have any other questions or need assistance, we are here to help and will work with you to ensure you pick the right tool. Call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a Live Chat on the Greenworks Tools website.
