powerful - but needs an updated design to fix bugs

Bought this through a 3rd party. When I received it, it was obviously used before with a missing screw to put it together. I managed to get it put together with spare parts. It has plenty of power, especially on turbo. I have the 4Ah battery and almost never run out of juice. I do however have a few complaints on the design which should be fixed on an update. The turbo button sticks down, its a very poor design, new design should just use a momentary microswitch. The motor sometimes doesn't start. If I reach around and give the backpack a whack with my hand it starts ... unsure how to fix this. The backpack straps are cheap, kind of like a cheap kids backpack. For a professional tool these should be upgraded.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The balance and other ergonomics are fine, the power is reasonable as well …the way degrades a full 4ah battery is NOT appreciated and wasn’t clearly told before purchasing.
I have nearly every 80volt yard tool and this thing doesn’t just blow leaves, it TOTALLY SUCKS battery life 2ay to fast.
Don5 misunderstand my crass humor, I’m very dissatisfied and this will be hard to cover up as I am a crazy advocate for Green works Pro 80 volt series tools!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Hairs,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this blower. To extend your run time, try using it on a lower speed when high speed is not a requirement. When used at low speed, using the Greenworks 80v 2.5Ah battery the user can get up to 30 -40 minutes on low. As this unit does draw quite a bit of power on high, the run time can be extended by using it at a lower speed. We would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.

Powerful blower. Didn't have directions in how to put it together, but it really isn't too hard to figure out. The battery doesn't always stay connected in the pack and I have to occasionally push it down to reengage it. Doesn't always happens but is an annoyance when it does. Overall, great blower.

I love this blower!! What a great price and a great product. I also bought a mower and chain saw. With the 80V batteries you get full power comparable to gas powered machines but without the hassle and maintenance nightmares.

The sound of the blower motor will change on me, and when the sound increases (a very noticeable increase in the audible level of the motor) the blower speed decreases, rendering the blower almost useless. Iin addition, with a 4aH battery installed, and not using Turbo, it only lasted about 10 minutes.

This puppy has two settings, really powerful and obscenely powerful. I LOVE it. It’s very easy to assemble and get going right out of the box and after that, it's easy to disassemble for quick storage. Most of all it's very powerful and considerably more quiet than their gas counterparts. I use it after mowing the lawn to disperse any grass buildup. I use it for cleaning the driveway. I use it to clean off the green works lawnmower I have. I haven’t even had a chance to use it in the Fall yet and I love the thing. Get it.
