EGO Power+Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 615 CFM, Battery and Charger Not Included - LB6150

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!

this leaf blower is hot off the line I am seriously impressed. I just got done weed eating and UPS dropped off my blower I unplugged my battery off my weedeater. through it on the blower 15 minutes. I’m done. This thing is amazing. It knocks my backpack out of the ballpark. I will be buying more of these tools. no more pain in the ass two cycle Gas. Ego is my go to now. it also makes an awesome fan.

Simple set up.Comfortable,lightweight,quiet.Working well in dry weather.Will be interesting to see how it performs in the wetter weather.

Love it, powerful easy to handle used it for about 15 minutes still had 3/4 charge left on a 2.5 battery. would recommend and buy again.

Love the blower has all the power you need to get the job done. No need for electrical cord or gasoline . The only down side is the battery when it needs to be replaced it would cost more then what the tool is worth. Might be better off looking at others that have the same power but with a cheaper battery.Also have had people tell me that if you buy a new battery check the date when it was manufactured battery's that are many months old and if something goes wrong the company will not honor the guarantee.

If you’re a fan of the Ego line, this blower does not disappoint. I have the 530cfm blower, which is great. This one is truly next level.I thought it would be heavier, as many reviews pointed that out. I use a 7.5 battery in it, and it’s very balanced, and does not feel heavy. Admittedly, I only use it for about 20 minutes after the yard is mowed, but still, the shoulder strap is unnecessary for my use.I can easily recommend this if you are looking for tons of power in a battery operated blower.

Works like a charm! Easy to control, and powerful enough to get the job done without blowing stuff all over.

This thing will blow your panties into the next county
