Title: Superb
Review: This is my first battery operated blower, which I avoided for years because of reviews saying they were under-powered and/or had super short run times. I'm here to tell you that this has neither of the problems, at least for my uses. This blower has been nothing short of superb so far.I bought my first blower about 17 years ago when I bought my house here in Tucson. I have a rock yard with mesquite trees and other bushes, and the rocks/driveway/sidewalk get absolutely covered in pollen (happening right now) and small leaves at times in the year. A lawn vac does a better job of cleaning and I went that route for years, but I get totally covered in dirt when using a vac, and they are harder to lug around. A blower does a decent job while leaving me relatively clean.I hate gas blowers (get to listen to the pros use them at neighbors homes and hate the loud noise and smell) and have been using corded blowers, mostly from Black and Decker. However, it takes me a good five minutes or more just to get the cords out and plugged in to get ready to start, and then the cords sometimes get in the way and usually make me backtrack around bushes.Enter this superb blower. Wow. Just wow. It's significantly quieter than my corded blowers, and compared to gas - forget about it. This thing is quieter as I'm holding it than the gas blower the landscaper uses when he's half a block away. In fact, I was so excited when it first showed up on a Sunday afternoon that I immediately unpacked it (which took all of about a minute because there's only two pieces) and started using it with the 80V battery that I already had, and it didn't occur to me until later in the day that I hadn't put in my earplugs. It's not _silent_, for sure, but it's a heck of lot quieter than I'm used to.Performance is plenty good for me. It has three main settings (low, medium, high), and then you can further tailor the air flow by how much you depress the trigger. I'm lazy and just pull the trigger all of the way back. On low, it makes quick work of pollen and tree litter on concrete such as my driveway and sidewalk - soooo much faster and easier than sweeping like I've done for years, and quiet enough that I can do it before I leave for work and not be "that guy" who wakes up the neighborhood. On medium, it works great blowing off the rocks in my main yard. It's so powerful on medium that (like my other blowers) I need to be careful not to blow the rocks around. On high...well, I hardly ever go there because it's so strong, but I think that you'll be pleased. I was pretty stunned at the air flow on high, and it forced my arm back the first time because I wasn't ready for it.Run times are very impressive using my 2A battery. I haven't actually timed myself, but I've blown off my yard twice on weekends so far and blown off my concrete daily. I always try to keep my blowing under an hour on weekends because, again, I don't want to be "that" guy. I probably used it for about twenty minutes at a time switching between medium and low, and my battery still lit up two out of the three indicator lights. I certainly might have used it longer, but I'm trying not to exaggerate.The ease of use is simply amazing compared to my corded models. Before work, I can just grab it, push the on button, walk out to spend about a minute blowing off the driveway and sidewalk, turn it off, and set it back down in my garage. Done. The fact that it's faster to use this than to grab my broom is fantastic to me.This is my fifth GreenWorks product (and I'm overall pretty happy with them), and I already had a 40V and 80V batteries and chargers, so this was a good deal for me because I didn't have to pay for the battery and charger. I almost bought the one with the battery anyway because I thought that I'd need more run time and would want a spare battery, but I haven't come close to needing another one.If you already have one of their 80V batteries, even the 2A one, I suggest getting this and not another battery to start to check if you'd want any more run time than you already get. Plus, if you already have one of those batteries, you know that they charge up pretty fast.Overall, I highly (HIGHLY) recommend this blower. One of my best lawn care purchases ever.

Title: No volt envy, less laziness.
Review: Solidly made, not light, not cheap, and now a companion to the previously purchased GreenWorks string trimmer whose battery and charger it now shares. It works as well, better really, than the previous plug-in blower and of course there is that cordless freedom. In fact, I still haven't adjusted to the fact that there is no cord and I keep worrying about stepping on it or snagging it on something. Then I realize there is no cord and that is indeed satisfying.As with the trimmer, I find I use it more often, not getting lazy because I don't want to drag out the extension cords or fool with gas.The low speed clears normal dry leaves off of concrete with surprising ease and the high speeds will pretty much scatter anything. The wild turkeys around here dig up rocks and dirt, messing up the walkways. The higher speed settings easily blows this off.The slow start is a bit odd, but doesn't really bother me. I have some Bosch tools that have a soft start as well and am used to it.Time of operation is totally dependent on what you are doing, but it easily lasts through a typical deck, walkway and driveway project even if they are in need of a lot of cleaning.80 volts is a lot and adequate for most anything, and the chargers are fast. That makes this a good long term purchase for me. Of course having multiple tools using the same battery and charger does make the purchase more practical.

Title: Powerful, quiet and comfortable! Love it ðð»
Review: Easy to assemble right out of the box, just follow the instructions closely, not that much to do. Once assembled, I waited for a decent weather day in February here in Michigan to test it out. I already had two 80V 4ah batteries from my Greenworks power mower I recently purchased, thatâs why I ordered the tool only. I had an area on my property I didnât get to during fall cleanup (using my old gas powered backpack blower) so was anxious to test it out during a mild 50 degree February day on 2/12/23. I inserted a battery and WOW, was so impressed from the moment I squeezed the trigger. It is very powerful. I am very pleased with its performance, even to blow stubborn leaves embedded in ground cover as you can see in my video. I hardly even needed to use the turbo function but did at times for testing purposes. Itâs lighter than my old gas backpack blower and also more comfortable to wear. I operated it around 30 minutes total with/without turbo, mostly without because itâs powerful enough without, but there will be times to utilize turbo and you will know when. I highly recommend it if you want a great, powerful blower that doesnât require gas/oil, spark plug, air filter, etc. It actually exceeded my already high expectations! Iâm a 73 year old man with some mobility issues so appreciate the advantages of this particular blower. Love it! Iâm glad I already have the two 4ah batteries to take advantage of purchasing just the blower. Itâs always nice to have a spare battery.

Review: I had bought this last year, but did not have a chance to use it, as I had bought it to Blow snow. I have used it finally the last week, and it works amazing. I do use the turbo boost most of the time but it handles the snow we have gotten very well. I have about 300 feet of sidewalk I can do at one time (if it is less than 1" deep) as the battery only lasts for 15 minutes, using the turbo. When the snow was 2" deep I had to do it in 2 sessions. It takes about 30 - 40 minutes to charge, giving me time to also recharge and warm up. I also love that it is light enough weight that I can use it, but powerful enough it does a wonderful job, and so much easier, a takes less time than shoveling. I am not sure how well it will do when we get heavier wet snow.

Review: This is phenomenal! Powerful, light, and does most jobs with easy. Battery power drains quickly on highest setting, but I knew that before I bought! Lower settings are powerful as well. Such a great product!

Review: Makes lawn care enjoyable again. I have another greenworks but normal style 80v leaf blower but even with the strap it's a pain to use especially with a bad shoulder. This one is so much more comfortable and easy to use. The turbo button is insane. Only complaint is one of the spouts can't rotate to lock in but it still fits snug so no biggie.

Customers like the power, blow capacity, and ease of use of the leaf blower. They mention it has more than enough power to move anything kicked up by the cutting. Some appreciate the noise level, build quality, and value for money. However, some customers have different opinions on the battery life and weight.
