Thanks for posting. I find it informative and well done. I own two of the reviewed blowers, the 7th place 60 volt 540 CFM Greenworks and 1st place 56 volt 530 CFM EGO. I use the EGO with a shoulder strap and a flat nozzle tip. I still use two gas powered blowers when doing serious leaf herding in the fall and winter.

Personally Mike, I wouldn't even consider BATTERY anything (except my battery drill & driver tools W/ lifetime battery warranty from RIGID TOOLS ) I gave away ALL my DeWalt ( about $600.00 worth) battery tools & chargers, the batteries are for schitt !! I'm an ol school, ol fart, and I love playin with gas engines, but to each his own !! ..:thumbsup:

I own the 530cfm Ego blower. I just picked up the 600cfm backpack Ego blower a few days ago. I do a commercial property with it. It works great!

They have their place but not for me. I need hours of run time, not minutes. My main issue with battery powered equipment is when it's time to replace the battery and it costs 60% of what the unit originally cost.

You hit the "nail on the head" Darryl, the EXACT reason I GAVE away ALL my DeWalt battery equipment, ...:thumbdown:....:mur:

I was given a battery powered leaf blower as a fathers day gift, it couldn't blow out the candles on cake after less than 10 minutes use

Loved my echo handheld for about 8 years now. I thing it was about $150 at my local mower shop. Not the cheapest but I plan to get many many more years out of it

Battery technology is improving rapidly. I too burned up numerous dewalt power tools and switched to Milwaukee and the new, upgraded batteries. Although expensive, my sawzall just lbout lasts longer than I do. With a couple spare, charged batteries I'm always ready for work. I lso bought a small milwaukee blower for keeping the back porch cleaned off and I was pleasantly. Doesn't hold a candle to my Stihl gas blower but is quick, easy and doesnt make much noice and no exhaust fumes!

Not battery powered, but I love my Homelite electric pressure washer for cleaning up equipment I've repaired. It works great for that, but for anything else I'll get out the 4000 PSI gas unit.

I'm looking for a cordless one
