Love this leaf blower so much that I've bought 3 of them (so far). One to use, one for the extra batteries and one I had shipped to a friend. I'm a 65-year-old active woman and for me, I think it's everything I've been looking for in a leaf blower. Not heavy (for me) but if it was, a strap is included. Powerful enough for me, and I have a 1/3 acre yard with a large oak tree. (I initially had purchased the far more expensive Milwaukee M12 leaf blower and was pretty disappointed in its power). Now I don't know if this blower lives up to the power it claims per other's reviews but it's good enough for me. Major plus is that it comes with TWO batteries. Each battery on average lasts about 15 minutes on continual full blast, which I understand is typical. A con is that it does take a long time to fully charge but with 4 fully charged batteries, I've got about an hour, which works for me. I rarely write reviews but did so with this because for the price, it's a great buy!
