Greenworks 40-Volt-4.0Ah Lithium-Ion Cordless Leaf Blower

I bought the Greenworks leaf blower because it purported to have enough battery life and wind speed to blow leaves and debris off of my stone steps, patio and driveway. I was hoping that I would also be able to blow some of the leaves out of shrubs and hard to get at places.

It has performed wonderfully on stone and flat surfaces and the battery life is sufficient to get the work done without recharging the battery. The use of the leaf blower on shrubs and grass depends on how recently the leaves have fallen and how dry they are when I blow them. This is not a back pack gas powered leaf blower so the result is not as good.

It is also infinitely lighter and easier to use than a larger gas powered blower. It is quiet enough that the neighbors are not bothered if I need to use it when they might still be asleep.

I would recommend the Greenworks leaf blower to anyone for use on hard surfaces but would not recommend it for blowing leaves off of grass or out of bushes.

I have been using a Black and Decker blower with a Ni-Cd battery. It has a high blowing power when the battery is fully charged. The battery discharged quickly even before the job is finished. I decided to try the leaf blower with a lithium battery. The battery holds the charge well, but the blowing power is much lower than the Black and Decker blower. For high power blowing I had to use the plug-in Black and Decker blower.

I wanted to try this blower because of the battery rating. When I got it, I was a little concerned because it is a little smaller than I expected. However, when I used it, grass, leaves, and even small twigs were blown off sidewalks and driveways and curb with ease. It has great balance and adequate power. I have a corner lot with a sidewalk and parkway so I have a lot of area to clean up after mowing and edging. I used less than 1/2 the battery charge to clean up on the first use. Due to the balance and light weight and being cordless, this blower was a real joy to use. No gas and no power cord - SWEET! One other thing, the battery has a nice charge level indicator making it easy to know when to recharge.

This blower does not have any power. It says 150 mph but I would say no more than 90 mph. If you have a smooth surface it works OK but if you have a rough concrete surface the blower is useless.

The charger and blower worked the first week. Second week the charger would not charge the battery. Called the company, they are sending me a new charger. Strike one. Also, not as strong as advertised.

This unit has about the same power output as a hairdryer. Convenient yes, but the low power output makes it a time consuming product to use. It in no way compares to my electric leaf blower. Perhaps 1/10 of the power. Buy a broom- it's cheaper, easier, quicker and much less expensive.

I bought blower for my elderly mother. She loves using it to blow off the carport, decking and driveway. It is strong enough for her everyday use and very lightweight.

It's simple to use, not heavy or cumbersome; and effective for light to medium debris blowing. It's faster and better than using a broom. The battery power last plenty of time (almost an hour).

My Mom loves her Greenworks leaf blower.

I had a gas blower and an electric. The gas was a non-starter for my wife and the power cord on the electric was inconvenient. So I opted to spend the extra $$$ for convenience.

I would say that for those that are blowing decks, garages, driveways & walkways the product is fine as long as it's not large amounts or leaves or wet.

You give up a lot of power for convenience. Guess it's always a trade-off...

I had high hopes for this - a powerful leaf blower, cordless and electric. Unfortunately if you live anywhere other than suburbia with 2-3 small trees this leaf blower will frustrate you. While it's fine for dry leaves on flat, hard surfaces, it's next to useless where leaves are on grass or caught amongst shrubs. Big piles of leaves are also a no no and it takes considerably longer than it should to clear a moderate sized area. I like the design, it's robust, light and maneuverable - unfortunately all those traits mean you sacrifice performance. If you have lots of leaves, and leaves on grass - get a more powerful gas version.

I bought this leaf blower as a birthday gift for my husband. It's probably the best birthday gift I've given him in years. He uses it at least 3 times a week. Loves that its lightweight, quiet and the battery life is impressive. It's not quite as powerful as a gas blower but much easier to maintain. In fact, we will probably purchase another one for our home in Mexico.

Easy to grab and keep my sidewalks, driveway, porch, and two patios clean. I love the fact I can easily control the air flow which allows me to blow leaves into a pile and then just pick them up rather than blowing them in the new mulch.

So glad I have it, wish I had known about it years ago, it might have prevented surgery on a trigger finger I developed from the electric heavy blower we already had.
