EGO Power+ Commercial Backpack Blower (Bare Tool) 800 Cfm

Finally free of the 2 cycle fuel trap, I love it. I've wanted to make the move to the best battery operated rechargeable equipment on the market and this was my first purchase to start build up my tools to replace all of the mixed fuel equipment I use. I'm very pleased with the performance and power this unit provides.

The product has met our expectations in every way, providing sufficient power to clear our yard on a single charge. Its lightweight construction makes it easy to maneuver, even for my wife, without causing strain. Based on our experience, I highly recommend the 800 CFM backpack blower.

Perfect for full-yard jobs. Set of batteries easily lasts 45-60 minutes. Not too heavy but, coming from a handheld blower, it does take a little getting used to having the blower fixed on the right side. I still have an Ego handheld blower for small jobs (sidewalks, porch, driveway) but for big jobs this is my go-to machine. Got it on sale but shouldn't have waited as long as I did to take the plunge.

This thing has real power! I have been waiting for a good electric backpack for a long time. Those handheld ones will wear you out. This one is VERY heavy but once it's on your back you don't even notice it. Although I have to use turbo mode the whole time, I am removing small leaves from beneath the grass to let it breathe at the roots. The pair of batteries last about 40 min. I got a mower with the same 6AH batteries so I can share them and have plenty of power for cleanup. The included charger takes about an hour or more to charge full. I got this on sale before spring and it was a huge discount. Well worth it!

Blows just like my famous-brand 51cc gas backpack blower, but much lighter, and no need for hearing protection. At continuous full turbo power, the two included batteries do last 30 minutes. A huge not-advertised feature is that when folded vertically, this thing can be stowed in the back of a small coat closet. NO DANGER OF CO POISONING!! A buddy died blowing leaves in calm wind.

I am very pleased with the power of the EGO backpack blower. I also have a gas powered blower and the power of the EGO backpack blower rivals the gas blower. The batteries charge faster than other brand tool batteries I own. It's nice to have a backpack blower that is quiet and I'm sure my neighbors appreciate the reduction in noise. There is something to be said about not having to buy fuel, add expensive mixtures, replacing air filters and spark plugs, and not having to worry about how many pulls of the cord before it will start. I am pleased with my purchase and can recommend this blower to others.

This blower worked great. Equals both of my gas blowers. As a cranberry farmer I use the blower to get berries off the banks. I was a little leary that this blower would equal my others, but it performed exceptionally well. I love that I can turn it on and off at the handle. Gas blowers have a pull rope and you've got to take it off your back to restart. I only use it 2 weeks a year, so we'll see how the batteries do in storage.

This thing rocks. I live in the woods and have a top of the line gas powered leaf blower. This blower works the same as the step down from the gas powered one. Only down side is run time. But I was still impressed with how much of an area and leaves I could move with in that time frame. I love it and use it in between the gas unit during the week. Really long drive way, front and back porch, back yard and front lawn. If you're in the EGO System you won't regret the purchase. If you're not and you have a quarter to an acre of land it's worth looking into.

The overall quality of this tool is good. My only complaint is that the backpack with two 10ah batteries is extremely uncomfortable after 10-15 minutes. Other than that it's a great product. Might want to look to ad air bubbles or gel cushions on the backpack.

The blower appears to be plenty powerful for my initial use of clearing my gutters, sidewalk, and street. I anticipate it will work fine for clearing the leaves from three oak trees come this spring. The blower was on clearance and I couldn't pass up the deal. The deal was so good, I bought one for my son.
