EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 880 CFM, Includes (2) 56V 4.0Ah Batteries and Charger - LB8803-2

My journey began when my gardener went out of business, and no one was available right away to clean up my yard. I'm a 5'7" mid-size female. I bought my first blower vac by Worx just before purchasing the Ego Power 880 Blower, and I wanted to dedicate the Worx solely as a vacuum. So, after learning about CFM and MPH, I wanted to get the strongest blower I could find. So, this is my first time using a blower. I never used the blower on the Worx, just the vacuum setting, which is fantastic. I have fake grass in my front yard, and I made the mistake of having my entire backyard landscaped in rocks! Terrible decision! The fake grass is fantastic with the vac and blower! But the rocks are a challenge... UNTIL NOW! Except for the weeds! Eek! But I got a great workout pulling those, and the plan is to use an electric sprayer with vinegar to keep them at bay! Ok, back to the Ego Power 880... If weight is a concern, the machine is lightweight. It's easy to carry. It includes a shoulder strap, so you don't need to get the add-on for the 880 cfm. It holds one 52-volt monster battery that feels like it weighs 1 to 2 pounds, which feels heavier than the machine itself. It has a 45-minute run time per battery. It came with 2. It charges rapidly. But the charger does make noise, which is not bad at all. I charge mine in the garage. In a minute, the whole cemented side yard was cleared of maple spinners. And I went on a spree, blowing the windows, the patio, and anything I felt looked dusty. I tested it on the rocks in the backyard, and although it rained yesterday, it still blew out the wet maple seeds. A few rocks do go flying, but it's not a big deal, and it's expected. It didn't affect the landscaping whatsoever. It cleared the spinners out instantly and refreshed the look of the rocks immediately. It's amazing. Now I get it when people say it's fun to use. IT'S SO FUN, I LOVE IT! POWERFUL!!!!!!!!! And lightweight! This thing is like carrying a purse. Unlike a vac, it strictly blows dust away so it doesn't get dirty the way a vac/blower/mulcher does. But I still like to use bleach wipes to clean my equipment out of love and care. I am in love with this machine! I have a dedicated wheeled cart just to hold my blower vacs, extensions, and charging apparatus. And I can't wait for the snow, because I'll be on top of it as soon as 8 am strikes, using this machine every day like it's my favorite workout equipment! So, I won't need to hire anyone to do my yard work anymore! GET THIS MACHINE! You will LOVE it!

Wozers. Besides heavy this is an awesome tool

We use this to blow leaves AND snow off our cars. My favourite of the garage tools!

I have an EGO cordless mower and string trimmer. I have become an EGO FANATIC! I had to get the 880 CFM leaf blower and I was floored with the performance. All EGO tools are solidly built and this is no exception. Only EGO markets their tools with multiple batteries and a charger. The two batteries and the charger would cost you $400 if purchased separately. This is a STEAL! The 880 is so powerful that I nearly was thrown backwards while testing the TURBO power. The velocity is 200 MPH so make sure you are firmly planted on your feet before trying it for the first time. THE ONLY OTHER MORE POWERFUL BLOWER EGO sells is the 1000 CFM but it is only sold as a commercial item and is not for sale in the retail market. The LBX1000 may have a higher CFM than the 880CFM but the output velocity is only 185MPH on the commercial model. The 880 model has a HIGHER velocity at 200 MPH. You will feel it! Do not aim it at an anything or anyone until you are familiar with its power. Even then, never aim it at anyone. ABOUT THE BATTERY TIME: There is a lot of chatter about the short battery time between charges. Understand there is no electric blower that has a long battery time. Leaf blowers can demand as much as 1500 watts, and when paired with a 56V source, the current of around 25 amps generated can be dangerous. The LFX1000 commercial model requires 1700 WATTS…as much as a toaster oven. This accounts for the limited battery time. The formula for power is WATTAGE(power) =VOLTAGE X CURRENT(amps). Assuming the power is 1500Watts and divide it by the 56 volt battery ….you are now running over 26 amps! This is a significant power grab and why blowers all have short work loads. Because of this, EGO factored in various battery saving features to maximize your experience. For example if you use a battery smaller than 4.0AH you will be forced to use half the blower velocity (2 bars instead of 4) on the display and the TURBO feature will be inactive. A 5.0 AH battery or greater will give you more time than the 4.0AH battery provided. The 4.0AH battery is the absolute minimum battery size allowed to achieve the TURBO and 4 bar (HIGH) power. This is by design to preserve battery life (10 years on average). Blowers unlike other handheld tools require the most power and despite the two 4.0AH batteries provided, a 5AH battery which is recommended (especially with a turbo feature) would have been better. EGO should have provided a 5 and 4 AH battery instead of two 4AH batteries for an additional $100. The 5.0AH battery will provide much more time (20%) and serve as the primary source. They did this with their lawn mowers offering a primary 7.5AH and a second 5.0AH battery as an optional kit upgrade. SUMMARY: This tool is amazing! It is extremely powerful and well built. The batteries are powerful and deliver the thousand and a half watts needed for a leaf blower. ONLY EGO has done something about this….they are giving you a free additional battery to allow you to charge one while you use the other! No other manufacturer does this. Give this a try!

Très satisfaite.
