EGO

4.6

(30)

"I got the EGO blower for around the same price. It’s much better."

"I researched how Ego has a longer warranty and a superior battery management system and bought a mower and blower two years ago. Couldn’t be happier."

"I love my Ego products. I use the blower, mower, weed whacker, chainsaw and gutter cleaning attachments for the blower."

"Yep ego is wonderful. Reliable, low to no maintenance, and you don’t stink of gasoline after working."

"I have a milwaukee m18 fuel and it’s not bad, but my dad bought an ego and it’s night and day."

"Look at the ego line. In my opinion, they are the best battery-powered lawn tools you can get"

"I got a 56v ego last month. I've already used it 3 times, and it's only used 1 bar of battery. I'm really enjoying its performance and ease of use."

"My blower went out last winter, so this year I went with the EGO electric. So far it has performed awesome and I don't have worry about gas anymore."

"If you want as low-maintenance as possible, get an Ego two stage."

"The 2 stage snowblower is perfect for small to medium size driveways, and their batteries can power lawnmowers, string trimmers, leaf blowers, and all sorts of stuff."

Stihl

4.5

(22)

"Stihl br600 is a flagship commercial backpack blower. We run 6 of those daily."

"I have a stihl backpack blower and that SOB crushes the leaves on my wooded property."

"Awesome machine. You won’t be disappointed."

"Stihl 600 or higher"

"I blow my half acre yard accross the road in 45 minutes when they are dense."

"Buy a Stihl and you won’t be disappointed."

"Stihl backpack blower is the answer."

"I use this blower for my lawn care business. Never regretted the purchase."

"Worth every penny if your lot is bigger like ours."

"You won't be disappointed. You'll be blown away!!!!"

Ariens

4.5

(14)

"If you deal with any serious about of snow - the best electric snowblower is a gas one. Ariens or Honda"

"For my money, Ariens gasoline. They have units running as far back as the 60s. My first lasted 38 years, and it's replacement now past 15 years."

"Ariens deluxe 28 sho. I used it for the same reason for 15/20 per snow."

"Ariens Deluxe 28 SHO, in the secondary market would be your best bet with the amount of driveways you’re cleaning."

"The answer is Ariens. No bells or whistles necessary. I’ve got one in my shed built in 1971 that came with the house. Still runs."

"Ariens. The best."

"My Dad's had 2 Ariens his whole life."

"Ariens deluxe isn't a bad machine if you adjust the cables and valve clearances within the first 10 hours of use and change the oil."

"The only reason I got the deluxe was that no one had a platinum and couldn't order any mid-January and wanted a new thrower as I had the budget at the time to get one."

"Yea, mine a few times seemed to bogged down, but I was in 2 or 3 gear speed, and we got like 6-7inch of heavy snow."

DeWalt

3.9

(14)

"I have that exact blower and a similar or identical trimmer with 20V 5AH battery and they’re both awesome."

"I currently have both blowers and the 60v is the clear winner. Not even close and well worth the price of admission."

"60v DeWalt weed eater with attachments is a beast. I got two 9AH batteries and the 60v stringer w/ attachment option for $340 at home Depot spring sale like a week ago."

"Bought the set and gave the blower to my 90 year old mother. She still blows off her driveway at 90 and loves that blower."

"I've owned both 60v string trimmers and I've used my neighbors 20v one. The 20v is plenty for all but the most overgrown weeds, the 60s real power is when using things other than string heads."

"If you have used a gas blower, you may be disappointed in the 20v. If you can afford the 60v stuff, it's better in every way except maybe cost."

"The dewalt 20v blower is decent. I use mine for gutter cleaning because it's so damn light and it does great for that."

"I have a 20V leaf blower and its great for small jobs, but I wouldn't want to do my whole yard with it."

"The XR model is pretty good, but the Flexvolt one is way better than the XR model."

"I also have the flexvolt blower. That thing works on the lawn."

EGO Power+

4.8

(11)

"EGO Power+ Snow Blower: This snow blower is a fantastic choice for clearing snow effectively."

"Best blower I have ever owned is the EGO Power+ LB6003….period!"

"If the budget allows it, get the EGO backpack leaf blower. He won't regret it."

"For golf course maintenance, get the EGO Power+ LB6003 Backpack Blower. It delivers up to 600 CFM, it's comfortable, and the battery lasts long enough."

"For handheld tasks, the EGO Power+ LB7654 is probably the bst. It offers up to 765 CFM, and that's great for quick clean-ups and smaller debris."

"I ended up giving away my Ryobi 18v lead blower and got an Ego 56V leaf blower and it’s great."

"I've had the EGO Power+ LB6003 for 3 years now, and it performs really well."

"I have spent about $600 on Ego products. Self propelling lawn mower, multi-tool head with edger and trimmer, and a backpack blower. The battery is super strong and I've had zero issues with any of the products."

"Agree with the LB650 rec. You can generally run it for about 90 mins per charge."

Echo

4.4

(10)

"It runs like new to this day."

"I can clean an acre in an hour or use it to blow snow and peel upto an inch of ice off the driveway."

"It has so much power and took my 90 minute leaf blowing and dropped it to about 20 minutes."

"I picked up a new Echo PB9010T this summer for my 4.5 acre yard."

"I absolutely love my Echo PB-9010."

"I go echo over stihl for blowers due to ease of repair and access to spare parts."

"Echo 9010 for leaves, dogs shit, branches and bricks."

"Echo 770 for everyday."

"We have 4 echo pb9010 blowers for fall."

"I personally prefer echo over Stihl, but that's cause I'm cheap."

Greenworks

4.0

(9)

"Go with 80V. I have it for 3 years and running strong here in TX. I have blower, edger and trimmer too. All 80V."

"The Greenworks 80v 730cfm/170mph blower I have is a beast. Works way better than the 2 cycle handheld gas blower it replaced."

"It is a pretty good snowblower. It's not self propelled and the hard tires can be challenging."

"The bush trimmer, weed trimmer and blower are all fine"

"I have accumulated 80 volt chain saw, blower, trimmer, and edger. Basicly, everything except the mower. Five batteries and two chargers. Loved them all."

"I have the Greenworks 80v mower/trimmer/blower and they work well for my small yard."

"I have the Greenworks 80v snowblower. Pretty decent experience."

"The 80V Greenworks and 56V EGO are both great."

"My experience with green works and ego blowers is they are more high pitched and the sound travels further."

Husqvarna

4.3

(6)

"I've had a Husqvarna 2-stage since I bought a house, and it hasn't even broken a sweat."

"It's a game changer IMO."

"I can move massive piles of leaves. Even when they are wet."

"The Husqvarna has held up everywhere besides the hip padding is torn."

"Here in Aus the Husqvarna has 5 years warranty compared to Stihl's 2 years."

"We bought the top of the line Husqvarna backpacks along with the stihl alittlenunder a year ago. Our Husqvarna battery is in the shop because it wont charge."

Ryobi

4.4

(5)

"I have two--one of the 40v whisper series (404100NVM) which is incredibly quiet and powerful (730cfm)--one of the most powerful on the market."

"Since he's already invested in Ryobi just go with that. I would go with their 40v Whisper series."

"I have an old Ryobi combo blower/weedeater/edger that works great for my small yard."

"A better one including battery is only $30 more."

"The electric Ryobi tools are very good in my experience. A gas leaf blower may be good for a professional for doing large properties, but an electric one is probably adequate for a normal yard."

Toro

4.0

(5)

"I’ve been super happy with my Toro 928 OAE."

"I've had an electric Toro for maybe 4 years. Easy to operate and works fine in wet snow."

"I have two machines. A 26” Toro and a Honda HS 720 I bought last winter. The 26” is great but a (relative) pig to move around."

"I have a Toro 524 from the later 70s and it chugs a long just fine."

"I prefer my Toro trimmer that rotates over to use as an edger. Overall, they work ok but I don't think the..."
