Sold! 580 it is . . . . I love the EGO range, it's so much better than the old petrol guzzlers I used to run. The blower was the last of the range to get and this was exactly what I needed to choose between the two. Good job.

Nice lawn, love the dog and despite watching the video with fear as I'd already purchased the 580, you didn't let me down. The switch was the main thing that swayed me, including not having to hold down the switch the whole time during use.

Recently purchased the 530 because I'm switching over to EGO due to battery compatibility in all their tools. Currently also have a Kobalt 24v blower. The trigger delay and shutoff delay were both a bit surprising in the 530, and I'm glad you mention them here because I wasn't sure if it was a defect or not. However, with a little use, you get used to it, and it doesn't impact the blowers usefulness. The Kobalt has no such delay, and is a bit lighter due to the smaller battery, but I like the battery release on the EGO better, and also like the variable speed control on the EGO. That variable speed option definitely comes in handy when you don't want to blast something. For some reason, the EGO also seems to offer a little better control over the direction I'm blowing the grass/debris. Perhaps it has something to do with the tube design, though it doesn't look much different from the Kobalt. For most homeowners, I think the less-expensive 530 would work quite well. Not sure if the 580 is still available, but Lowe's only had the 530 and 650 available, and the price difference was over $100. No doubt the 650 (and 580) is more powerful and perhaps a bit more convenient with its controls, but likely overkill for many. Thanks for the review.

I heard about the new, more powerfull Ego blower. I'm temped to sell this one and pick that one up. Good point on saving a little money, as any of them will do just fine for most people. I will say, if someone uses it as much as I do to blow off any material on the grass or in the garage, the most convenient and powerful is a must.

We have both at work for blowing out our shop. The 530 battery lasts twice as long. It all depends on what you are using it for. After using both at work I found the battery life in the 530 was good enough to purchase for home use. The 580 has more power but doesn’t last very long. At least in my experience.

I was just talking to my dad this last weekend about me wanting to get a gas or electric blower.... My brother gave me a non running homelite blower. If I can't get it running I am definitely going to consider this blower. I too am tired of hauling a cord around, especially when going front to back. Great vid Koven.

Yes gas if not taken care of is a major PIA, but by the time you get it started you would be done with this one. I too had to drag a cord around but not now. depending how much you need to use should tell you what one to get. I love this one and never will look back. but do some research on all.

My fault in not doing my homework and realizing the battery weighs as much as my car.......lol. Well, the person I gave it to was thrilled. One mans junk is another mans treasure apparently.
