If you need a new leaf blower, be sure to check out this Amazon deal on one of their best EGO brushless blower kits available.
This “limited time deal” is on EGO’s 765 CFM cordless blower – one of their top models. Amazon has discounted pricing on some other EGO cordless leaf blowers right now, but I think this one hits a nice balance between performance and cost.
It delivers up to 765 CFM and 200 MPH air speed when using turbo mode. You can get longer runtime at the lower power settings – it features variable speed – but it’s good to have a burst of high power to push wet leaves, caked-on grass, or other debris around.

The kit comes with a 5Ah battery, charger, tapered nozzle, and spread nozzle. EGO backs the tool with a 5-year warranty, and the battery with a 3-year warranty.
It’s comfortable to use, powerful, and just terrific at blowing leaves and other similar debris on your lawn, deck, or driveway.
The included 5Ah battery is said to deliver up to 90 minutes of average runtime, 15 minutes on Turbo, or 150 minutes on low.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience with EGO leaf blowers. I’ve given away my test samples, and very often hear about how good they’re working out for everyone.
Price: $287.65 (Amazon says you save 20%)
As mentioned, there are a couple of other EGO blowers also on sale – you’ll see them via the same link just above. Lowe’s also has it on sale for a couple of dollars more.

At the time of this posting, the 650 CFM blower kit is more expensive at $299. $399 (looks like it was $440) will get you the 880 CFM model (I have never tested that one) with 2x 4Ah batteries. The 765 CFM blower kit seems to be the sweet spot.
If you’ve never tested an EGO leaf blower, they really are powerful and always seem to feel well-balanced. There’s really no competition between a 56V lawn and garden platform blower and those made by 18V, 20V, or 24V DIY-focused cordless power tool brands. I found some DIY and homeowner cordless blowers for half the price, but they deliver a fraction of the power and their smaller batteries definitely won’t give you comparable runtime.

We bought one of these 5-6 years ago and would do it again if we had to, it’s an excellent tool.

I have one of these and it’s great. You have to be a little careful blowing leaves not to blow a divot into the grass. Also great for cleaning dust out of the shop. This is also a good deal to pick up the 5ah battery. I’ve got a few of the Ego tools and I’ve been pretty pleased with all of them. (Still running a gas mower though.)

I have both the 765cfm version (this one) and the older 530cfm version. Both work well but I prefer the 530’s ergonomics and its trigger UI for extended leaf- or snow-blowing sessions. I will note that when blowing snow, wear a latex glove or something similar as an inner liner to your regular winter gloves or mittens otherwise you’ll get mildly shocked. This has apparently been explained as static discharge similar to the mechanism that produces lightning in blizzards.

I’ve been wanting one of Ego’s leaf blowers for a long time. For blowing snow and everything else that I’m sure it would be handy for. And when the time comes that I have one, I’m going to add a hopper kit. I’m not sure if people are very familiar with them. But you cut a hole in the top of the air tube. Add a sliding trap door. And then on top of that you can quick-lock a hopper for granular products. Or seeds. We have a large farm yard and parking area, and I’d like to broadcast ice melt granules in the winter time. And in the spring, broadcast grass seed over large areas. And in the summer, broadcast granule insect control on the lawn.
I’m dead set on the 4 ah battery though. It’s the ideal size for my Ego chainsaw. And it’s at the threshold of the weight I want to carry on my grass trimmer.
Also it’s very true about the power that the Ego 56 volt system has. I’m so glad I got into the Ego products, instead of accidentally getting sidelined into a lesser/weaker eco-system.
