[@Immolate62]

I'm a Milwaukee guy but I use Ego for my lawn tools and couldn't be happier. I'm not a pro, so instead of evaluating "stronger for longer," I'm more into "strong enough for long enough." My blower is the top end Ego, and frankly I rarely use the turbo button since the non-turbo speed is plenty, but I like having that extra bit of goose when I need it. Something I do differently than I saw you test is use a short nozzle that I bought after-market. I bought it for drying cars, but in reality, it makes for a better balanced blower that is less fatiguing. It's also quicker, which you wouldn't think would be a thing, but it's a thing. I guess the down-side is that your blower needs to be powerful enough to overcome the disadvantage of a short nozzle, but the Ego is. I have both nozzles, but I consistently choose the short one.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Ok I’ll share something I was going to keep to myself. 33 years running a landscape maintenance bussiness many blowers and the last 20 top of the line stihl period no problems a work horse. I bought an ego back pack then another strength in numbers right well I flipped one upside down attached it to right side up and had a blower for each arm and hands down this set up was a winner you can be loosening leaves with 1 while keeping your line with the other both focused on a pile of wet leaves sometimes ya make a pile and keep trucking but it was heavy and I stayed on turbo so was forced to do some battery charging ya need a good place to dismount so to speak as after hours of me and machine going full throttle it will give the arms a good workout. That is my idea that I’m sure someone else might have tried but no exhaust and at least 1/3 the noise of gas perhaps1/4

I like that you guys don’t put a huge emphasis on price in your scoring. And I hope it stays that way especially now that you’re bringing tools like harbor freight in to your testing considering you guys also test tools like Festool. On some channels, even though the HF isn’t the best they’re sitting at number one because they practically give those things away. You guys do the most thorough and comprehensive testing giving credit to those who engineered and designed the best tool not those who are selling them for the price of a happy meal. It only makes sense to separate it as best value I wish more testing channels did that . Thanks

[@chuckbadtke2332]

Great job once again on tool assessment. I was surprised that weight did not enter as a category. If you are looking at ergonomics and fatigue, weight should matter. I believe the Milwaukee would lose points as it requires two heavy batteries as all the others do not.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Great point! Many of these blowers do not have bigger batteries. Remember, we said that we try to test the tools in kit form. The Milwaukee as the example you use has been optimized to operate with an a 8Ah battery. Additionally, while we looked at balance, the rotational movement of the tool measures movement from the tool at rest to the tool at full throttle, regardless of the battery weight. A well-balanced blower should have minimal pitch when the throttle is activated. Subjectively speaking as a user, I would not want the extra weight of the larger batteries. I would choose a blower that had battery strong enough to get the work done, had good balanced and was lighter. I’d choose a battery configuration that would achieve “stronger for longer. “

Love the video! The price listed for the Stihl BGA 86 was with the AP500 and charger. The article stated it was not a kit, it is. The bare tool is $279.99.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Great to hear!

[@toolscientist]

In the name of science, I repeated some of your tests on the same Makita XGT blower with a 4ah battery 😁 I got results closest to yours with the bent nozzle (pictured in your article). I get 126mph and 600CFM, versus 120mph and 640CFM for you. Your CFM numbers are comparatively higher than mine, so I think you've used the I.D. with the nozzle off (85mm) instead of the I.D. of bent nozzle (80.5mm). Without any nozzle, I got 112mph and 600CFM. It could be that you tested with no nozzle and my airspeed measurements are off. My numbers give me 19.2 Newtons, versus your 19.4 Newtons, so in the sled test it should beat at least the Milwaukee (18.6N), Hart (18.8N), and Echo (17.3N). I think you used the straight narrower nozzle (or no nozzle) for the sled test as it would have been easier to line up. My straight/narrow nozzle test gave me 17.2N (138mph, 490CFM), whilst no nozzle is 17.0N (112mph, 600CFM), which lines up with it sitting just below the Echo in the sled test. Runtime is very interesting. I get 4:10 in turbo, before it dropped down to high speed (just like the Stihl). Releasing the trigger and restarting wouldn't let it go back into turbo. Battery was at 2 bars at this point. It then went to 6:00 on high before shutting down. Battery did not go into thermal protection, although I could see temps as high as 70C through the vents and it wouldn't charge for a few minutes. I have AU model, so maybe NA model is different, or maybe Makita supplied you with a special suped up blower/battery that doesn't drop down. It could also be that dropping out of turbo is temp related and you were testing in cooler conditions than me. I also tested current. High is 17A and 586W. Turbo is 29A and 942W, so quite a jump for Turbo.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

[@ConcordCarpenter]

[@bullpup33]

I love this channel. So here is my take. The tradeoff is between CFM and the ability to control the airflow. I have used backpack blowers with big cfm and a lower cfm blower, but it the lower cfm allowed for better control of the piles of leafs. So I discovered high mph with a medium cfm works better for me. The other thing that I value is weight. I wish they would have included that category. The other thing is you don't need a cannon if you already have a backpack. I use mine for small, medium and spot cleaning. They big heavy wet leaves go the way of the backpack blower.

[@saigashooter]

I’ve used both, the Milwaukee and EGO and I own the EGO, but I love Milwaukee, except this blower. The Milwaukee was the one that hurt my wrist the most. I didn’t purchase the Milwaukee for 3 reasons, more fatigue in my wrist and back, the use of 2 batteries seemed cumbersome and just wrong, and the price that is beyond ridiculous lol. I ended up buying the same EGO blower that’s in this video and then about 5 months later I bought an EGO lawnmower. Battery life and quick charging with EGO is simply amazing and their products are easy to use. I’m also thinking about selling my 2 year old Ariens snowblower and purchasing an EGO snowblower.

awesome review. Too bad I have the dewalt already but now I know what to get if it ever "blows" out lol

[@Jackson-T23]

If price was no option I would choose the Milwaukee ($707) since their 18v batteries can be used all over the shop. But a good alternative for a similar price, you can get the EGO blower kit for $329 and add their cordless carbon fiber string trimmer with auto-reloader for another $329.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Makita batteries are similar to with their XGT line

[@ConcordCarpenter]

The Milwaukee blower in the configuration that we priced with two batteries is definitely pricey. Many of these blowers that power tool companies make are basically considered an “add-on tool“ on their battery platform. In other words, they already have the batteries so they’re buying the blower at their tool and it’s well worth it to them.

[@Ryan-323]

I get complaints about Milwaukee price, but you should look at Stihl they’re ridiculously worse. I ended up buying the Milwaukee blower. I am a huge team red guy. If you wait for black Friday deals, it was around $300 and I gave you the 2X6 amp hour batteries for free. It was a deal that’s almost $100 for the tool and for all the batteries. I believe now is the time of my comment they have dropped the price to 250. And I’m just starting to see Steele bring down their prices to be half reasonable. Still think you’re looking at $300 for a good ego blower with at least a five amp hour battery. Fantastic review as always.

Kudos for the outstanding review. The only problem here is that these manufacturers make multiple models that exhibit different characteristics and you can't possibly test them all or rate them for all the uses people will want to use them for. I really liked the "strongest for longest" approach. For my needs I really want a blower that is also lightweight as I need to carry it for an hour straight. Most of these blowers are just too heavy for that. OTOH - a light weight blower may not be very durable. So in my case the sweet spot is a blower that weighs less than 7 pounds (including batteries), is durable, and has a good MPH score.

What battery did the makita use?

[@toolscientist]

Great testing, very thorough. Would have liked to see some numbers like runtime adjusted for Wh. Your Wh numbers for Ridgid look like you've used 16ah rather than 6ah. Quite a few are using max voltages as well (Craftsman, Kobalt, Makita, Skil) The pitch angle test is a bit skewed by battery size. Top 7 all have very big batts (except Craftsman, which does well by being gutless). The bottom 3 (Ridgid 6ah, Ryobi 4ah, Makita 4ah) are all using their smaller batteries. With their biggest batteries they'd have better counterbalancing.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

We have the watt hour data but didn’t use it

[@jeffreydeitz5247]

Agreed on the bigger batteries helping them out with balance. We tested the batteries that the manufacturer recommended or came with the kit. The Wh range was already pretty drastic across the field.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

I love your head to head test and KZbin Channel BUT it might be interesting to do head to head test within the major brands based on a category of tool. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita etc all make a few different leaf blowers. Most constructors today use two or more battery platforms. Between DeWalt, Milwaukee and Makita there are probably 12 to 15 Leaf Blowers to choose from. If a constructor wanted the best Leaf Blower for a given battery platform your head to head test may not be relevant. Is there one Milwaukee, one DeWalt or one Makita blower that would stand out as a recommended tool for a small constructor if they were selecting based on battery platforms.

[@oetken007]

Where is Bosch in this test?

[@stephenreamer4323]

Watched the video again and my second objection is that it is generally a bad idea to buy tools in kit form. These are generally lower amp-hr batteries so a person may end up having to buy more batteries to complete a job, plus they come with poorer chargers.

[@riba2233]

Great stuff, you know I love these tests! I just have one question regarding the scoring, why do you value all categories the same? I know many reviewers do it, but imho not all categories are worth the same. Also you could have used 8ah pack on makita, since you used bigger packs on all other high end brands. Thank you so much and can't wait to see the next one ;)

[@toolscientist]

The Makita results are weird. T&S got 12min runtime with a 4ah, but this test only gets 6min. An 8ah would get them 22-25min, which would have them well clear of everyone but Stihl. At first I thought maybe they accidentally ran it in turbo, but I'm guessing turbo is unregulated, so you'd see the airspeed dropping with voltage. They're also doing 118mph, which is right on the 190kph that Makita claims for normal mode. I think they must have had a dud 4ah battery.

Would've been interesting to see a gas blower for comparison

[@nicholashudson5020]

Some of these tests are almost entirely dependent on battery size. Which is difficult to compare. Like with my Makita blower, I can load 2x2.0 Ah batteries, and it'll perform as shown here. Or I can load 2x6.0 Ah batteries, and it would have won every single cumulative power/CFM test (other than peak power sled that favored blowers without power control ), not to mention it would have much better balance. And still be $300 cheaper than the Stihl kit. I love my Makita 2x18v blower (which is different/better than the one you tested). It is consistent and powerful, well weighted, and reliable. It costs twice as much as my friends Ryobi, but he's also on his third Ryobi blower in the same time I've been running my Makita. So I'm still coming out ahead on cost.

I really don't see that the blower's performance staying consistent throughout it's runtime is as important as you say. Not in real-world use. It may muddy the tester's ability to decide on a clear winner, but I think it's being overemphasized here.

A consistent performing powered tool over time is much more preferred by Pros than a tool that quickly or slowly loses power. We will have to agree to disagree on this.

Is there any milwaukee tool that is not ranked 1st on this channel? If you test a motorcycle or car, quite sure milwaukee would win here😅
