Cordless Electric Leaf Blower, 650 CFM, With Battery - LB6504

A friend of mine has one and recommended it to me. I have a back-pack gas unit, but no longer want to use it and the electrics I have owned left a lot to be desired in so far as battery life. It's powerful, but don't ask it to do what a gas unit can do. It will move thick, wet clumps of leaves, but it wouldn't be my choice if there was a lot of them. Like most electrics, it works best on smooth surfaces, but I did tackle the rock drive and it was fine. Don't get me wrong; this IS a powerful blower and I have no problem recommending it as all around blower and if I only had one, this would be it. The battery is the heart of this blower, but with that power comes weight. I will be getting a nice shoulder strap for it. Someone commented that it was not balanced well. I disagree. When you hold it to do work, it is tilted at exactly the angle I want to use for blowing leaves. Drying a car? I have no idea. I like the trigger for sure, but the feature I liked the most was the dial that set continuous power to whatever is needed. You can add power by pulling the trigger. I can run it for twenty minutes at maybe 30% (using the trigger sometimes) and only use about 20% of the charge. The battery is wicked big and has a charger to match; with a cooling fan no less. Charge level is indicated on the battery in 20% increments. I like it and would buy it again, but like I said, it's heavy. Hope this helps!

Had a gas powered leaf blower for years, and to tell the truth it still worked, but I had previously purchased an EGO hedge trimmer, pole saw, and weed trimmer (don't way whacker) so I had batteries but this one also came with a battery and I bought this. Now I wish I had done it sooner. Quieter and more powerful than my gas powered unit (which I never would have expected) and lighter and more maneuverable. With multiple interchangeable batteries for the different EGO tools I own, I always have a charged battery ready for my projects.

Used it for the 1st time today. It really blows as one expects a blower to. But it is very heavy. Luckily I bought this strap (not ego brand) from Amazon. Thank goodness I had it, so my shoulder could take a bit if the weight off my wrist. It blows leaves and puddles as expected. Once you push the turbo it really blows hard. Not much bad to say about it. It's just heavy. It charges fairly fast with the big charger it comes with. Lasts a pretty long time. Tried drying my Toyota Camry with it, after hearing ppl say that they dry cars with a blower. No way. It shifts the water from one place to another but it does not really dry it. You will still need a towel. And you will waste lots of time even TRYING to dry it with the blower. So yes that's the real deal about this machine. Powerful blower... But drying cars ? Not Unless you can stand there for an hour. Not for little old ladies or anyone the least bit weak in the arms as the battery makes this thing heavy. **Update after a few months of use** Still works very good. No issues. The turbo button truly makes it blow VERY hard. This is a solid product. Like I mentioned earlier, only downside is the weight that the batter causes it. But the battery lasts a long time so I guess that's the trade off.

This leaf blower works well and has a lot of power when using it on the highest setting. It has a big battery that has never run out of power, but I just have a typical suburban home and use it to blow off my back patio, front walk and driveway. That only takes about 15-20 minutes, so if you have a really large property, you may need a second battery. Because of the battery it's not light, but nothing you can't manage, though a shoulder strap would be nice. I have several Ego products and like them all.

This company makes superb products. It has plenty of battery life, although my yard is large and I have to recharge in order to blow all the leaves off. If I supplement using a wired blower I can finish without the recharge. I also can use the battery from the EGO weed wacker which is convenient. The variable speed trigger is easy to hold in. There is also a trigger lock so you don't have to hold it the whole time. There is a turbo button on the handle. Turbo is not needed unless you have a big pile of leaves and need to get them to the street quickly. I imagine using Turbo a lot will deplete the battery quickly. I don't know how long the recharge takes. It's not particularly quick. There are LEDs on the battery to show how much of a charge it has which is a nice feature. The only reason for not giving five stars has to do with balance. Because the battery is so big, the unit is on the heavy side. I'm 5'8 and when I hold the the unit with my arm fully extended the nozzle wants to touch the ground, and the air won't come out. I have to use my wrist to keep the nozzle from touching the ground and after a while of blowing leaves my wrist starts to hurt. There is no way to adjust the balance. The unit comes with 2 nozzles. I find that flattened one works better than the rounded one. I was glad to ditch my old two stroke model for something that doesn't vibrate much, is quieter and environmentally friendly.

This little guy is incredibly powerful. Pleasantly surprised with how well it works and how much i like it.

Great brand ... easy to use (leaves & light snow)

Prior to purchasing my Ego 650 Blower I owned an Echo gas leaf blower that I received from a friend for free since it didn't work. IhHad to invest $80 right off the bat to have it rebuilt and working well. It worked great for the entire time I owned it but after finding the Ego family of tools I decided to make the switch. This was my first purchase in the Ego family since it's a relatively low cost commitment (compared to some of the other tools) and readily available. Let me tell you what, I have loved this tool every day since I have had it! Power: Easily just as powerful as my Echo. I won't say more since it's not a dramatic difference but there are so many other reasons I love this tool over the gas alternatives that I'll talk about below. Run time: This particular model ones comes with the 5ah battery but any of the Ego batteries will work in it; 2.5ah, 7.5ah, 10ah, or the anticipated 12ah. They will all work if you want a longer run time you can get one of the larger batteries but there will be a weight difference with each of these. Larger ah = larger battery = heavier. But with regard to the 5ah, I would say typically 30-40 minutes at full throttle. There is also a TURBO button that will blow you away (pun intended) and this will reduce that run time down to about 20 minutes ish. Sound low? Realistically, I am rarely running this continuously at full throttle. You stop to pick up sticks or grab a drink or the kids jump in your pile of leaves so your 30-40 min turns into longer. Compared to my Echo, this is about the same for a tank of gas. MAYBE a little longer run time on the gas but it certainly wasn't a lot. Ease of use: Simple. No gas, no mixing, no pulling a cord, no choke, no fumes, no waiting for it to "warm up" before you get full performance. Slide your battery into the slot and hit the button. You're blowing instantly. My wife used it one time to blow some dirt out of the garage and I got a text "Why didn't you tell me this thing was so much fun!?" She's on to me! Uses: It doesn't just blow leaves. I also enjoy woodworking and this is where I use the tool the most. When building a project in my garage things tend to get dusty. I can have this on the floor and whenever I need to clean up the space after some cuts, I can do it quickly with no extra fumes or having to start it every time. I also use it to dry my truck off after I wash it. I live in Colorado and we get snow, so I've used it to clear off the driveway, stairs, porch, and vehicles (there may be some static shock with this use so heads up on that.) This will come with a basic charger that will charge your battery back to full in a few hours but if you go with some of the larger Ego products (snow blower, mower) they will come with a rapid charger that will charge the battery from dead to full in less than an hour. Amazon also has the rapid charger for purchase. This is a long way of saying this is an amazing tool and you won't regret this purchase. There is a brand new model with more power (765 CFM) but this bad boy will not disappoint.

The product was fine and what I initially ordered but I opted for a more powerful model. The Seller was super helpful in facilitating the refund!

Excellent Leaf Blower, although purchased for drying my car. Downsides of this one is that it is no good for sale in the UK as the carger it ships wilth will not accept the UK 240 Volts. Hence you have to purchase the UK equivallent which I did. After a few emails back to bronze, who were very polite, they refunded the cost of a new UK Charger (£59) so overall very good.. Price was excellent, but if in the UK stay well clear, simply due to the above..

If you're in the UK, avoid this product. It comes with a charger that doesn't work with UK sockets, and you'll need to buy a separate adapter that can cost over £40. Total waste of time waiting for it to be delivered, only to find out it’s not actually usable without additional expense. Very disappointing.
