EGO Power+ LB6150 615 CFM Variable-Speed 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Leaf Blower - Battery and Charger Not Included, Black

Got some power, good quality build

Beats all the top of the range power blowers (2 and 4 stroke) I have used in the past. Easy to use. Massive power. No weight problem when the 7.5 battery is used.

I have a gas powered backpack blower. I never thought a handheld, battery, leaf blower would be much use. I got this for my boys (7.5 & 9) so they could blow leaves and walnuts off the driveway in the fall. We have a tree that overhangs the driveway and during the fall it drops enough stuff on the driveway that they can't use their skateboards, scooters, and other wheeled toys. Even bicycling can be tough. So I thought this would be a good thing for them to use to clear the driveway. I was right about that part. It's lightweight, powerful, and easy enough to use and control that my 7.5 year old can clear the driveway in minutes. He loves it and they both love having a clear driveway. I was really impressed with how well this thing did with leaves and walnuts. At least as good as my gas backpack unit, although I don't think it's as comfortable for jobs that stretch into hours. What I was wrong about was this being of much use outside the one task. This thing is amazingly useful. The dial setting that lets you pick a specific flow/volume means you can set it to a very low setting and use it to blow out the garage without making a mess. My gas unit has a similar lock but it's nowhere near as precise so it makes blowing out the garage a challenge. This thing gets my garage clean in just a couple of minutes. But what really impressed me is what it can do in the snow. I have an ATV with a plow for my driveway but my walkways, about 200 feet of them, are made of old brick. They're uneven, lopsided and it's genuine misery to shovel them. You get about 1 foot before the shovel catches on a brick and, if you're not careful, wrenches your wrists and shoulders. So, during the first snowfall this year I decided, on a whim, to see what this thing could do. The results were nothing short of amazing! So far I've cleared walkways with up to 4 inches of snow on them. It's not any faster than shoveling but there's no bending over or lifting so it's much easier on my 56-year old back. It also doesn't catch on uneven bricks. I did find that I had to develop a technique, especially for deeper or harder-packed snow. You let the nozzle touch the ground about three feet in front of you and work it towards you and side-to-side at the same time. This blows off about 80% of the snow. Then you go over the same spot, working away from you and side-to-side to get the remaining 20%. Walk forward to the edge of what you've cleared and repeat. It takes me about 2.5 batteries (mix of 2.5A and 5A) to clear everything but it's so much easier and less frustrating than shoveling. I know my gas powered blower can't do this, in part because the nozzle can't be made to touch the ground. If you're on the fence about getting one of these get off the fence. This thing is amazing!

The technology in this machine delivers in spades. Lots to like. Some other wireless machines have lower Volt battery systems that can disappoint but here you have a very high energy battery that is able to deliver significant power and run time. The next great feature is you can power it by the usual method of finger on the trigger or by the relaxing roller switch set to the variable speed of your choice with an additional boost feature. This blower is as effective as my petrol Stihl blower. EGO have a range of different tools using their batteries. Also worth checking out their strimmer with power motor wind on cable.

RE: EGO Power+ LB6500 650 CFM Battery Variable-Speed Blower. This is my 2nd Cordless, variable-Speed Blower, and an Upgrade to my older, which I have passed on to a family member. The older model is a 530 CFM model that works like a Swiss watch. If you enjoy doing your won Landscaping and Lawn work, either by choice or Default or emergency, and you switched your Landscaping and Lawn Tools over to ECO Power lines; don't need to list all the reasons as to why. The only exception - for Tree-cutting purposes (larger than 9-inch diameters) are a small to larger Chain-saws, made by DeWalt & Stihl. . * The EGO Power+ LB650 - arrived well-packaged, and simple to assemble. * Ready-to-go, right out of the box. just some bell's & whistles to get familiar with, NP. * Light-weight and easy to maneuver, even with a 56-Volt 5.0 Ah Battery (around 5 lbs). * 3-year warranty included. * Open Lanai's or porches use - we have lot's of rain at times, and sometimes our Lanai's floors get wet, so it only takes 5 minutes with the EGO blower to dry things up, FYI. * Great Deal ! At times the EGO Store will Sell a Floor Model. I Jumped on this right away, and got an awesome deal, like 60% off! The EGO store also included a Commercial Series AN6000F Flat Blower Nozzle. ... Added BONUS use - sometimes, I will Hand-wash one of my vehicle's, before applying or re-applying a Ceramic coating. For the Rinsing step - I use the EGO blower to dry it quicker, and it works Perfectly, as it has plenty of CFM punch to blow off any excess H2O! ... Con's - are the batteries, that are quite Expensive $$$$, especially if one gets accidentally damaged or fried, and you happen to live on an outer Hawaiian island, like we do. The newer Gen models do come with a 3-year warranty, which is great, but again it's Location-dependent; as in Most cases additional S&H charges outside CONUS is and can be EITHER expensive, or, on Check-out you will get this Red Warning > "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location.", via AMZ. . Battery CPR - the older model is a 530 CFM model had a 56-Volt 2.5 Ah Battery that quit working one day, and laid on the bench for 2+ years gathering dust. This year, discovered a method of Reviving old battery's, and, was able to bring the 2.5 Ah Battery back to life, so when my nephew got the older blower, he also got this revived battery ... RTG! .
