My wife bought me this as a Christmas present. I cannot tell you how nice it is to be able to just grab this thing off the shelf and get all the blowing done without having to drag around a bunch of electrical cords around the yard. At first I didn't think it was as powerful as my electric one, but then I found the turbo button on the top and it makes quick work of cleanup after doing the yard. I also own the ego brand Hedge trimmer, and combination weed eater and edger. I am happy with all their products thus far.

Wow! I bought the 650 cfm with the 5.0 battery. I did my homework, because I loved my gas blower but starting it was hit and miss. I had borrowed a few different neighbors' battery blowers, and they were all like hair dryers. I landed on the EGO. This thing blows large granite rocks. The turbo button is amazing! My husband was crazy mad at the price until he tried it. His and hers leaf blowers are becoming just hers now! He loves it. I'm concerned about the lifespan of the battery. Will I be buying another $95 battery in 2 years? I hope not!

It isn't the cheapest option out there but, so far I am very impressed. I have a large arsenal of EGO yard tools, which I endorse, but I purchased this blower primarily to blow dry my vehicles after washing them. We have a water well, hence hard water, and must remove the water droplets before they dry and leave terrible mineral spots on the paint and windows. This blower has very good power in normal mode and is adequate for the sides of the car but, I want more velocity for the top and hood. This bad boy will almost fly out of your hand when you hit the turbo button but it does the job well. Even when in turbo mode my 5AH batteries still last long enough to finish our Subaru Ascent or the big Dodge Ram.

This is a huge upgrade over our old blower. We're able to get the leaves out that were stuck underneath the bushes. We picked this model over the base ego blower for the control dial being easier to access. Very glad we got this one. The battery that we got with this one is the 5Ah, and it makes it a bit heavy for longer use. However, the design of this blower is great, you can rest the batter portion against your leg if you need to whereas other blowers, like our old one, had the air intake directly on the back fo the unit, and it would tend to pull at the pants or shorts I'd wear. This blower doesn't have that issue.

So far, I love it. Took it for a trial run around my porch and deck areas and house to blow away the winter leaves. Perfect for my needs. Did not use much battery. When I do the whole yard, I will know my true opinion of this product. So far it’s a thumbs up.

Overall I'm quite happy with this leaf blower. It has enough output to blow dry leaves as needed. It doesn't get to leaves that are wet or settled into the grass, but that's to be expected. The battery life seems OK, but I did buy a less expensive third party battery, which does charge on the supplied charger. The tube and attachments are VERY difficult to remove, and can be annoying, but that's really the only issue I have with the unit. Time will tell if this unit is durable. I've read that some customers have had failures with the impeller blade falling apart. I don't always run the blower to high speeds, so maybe that will make it last longer. I will update my review if needed, but so far, so good.

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.

Love this! So easy with just a battery. No gas, no oil, no pulling a cord wondering if it will start. Use it for leaf/yard cleanup, but it also works great clearing DRY snow from walkways, ramps, stairs, driveways., vehicles, etc. Also use it to blow off stacked firewood before I carry it into the house, keeps the mess down. One of our best buys ever!

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!

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.
