The battery hasn’t diminished much over time and does fine for my porch and sidewalk and also drying my cars after washing them.

I had a Ego string trimmer and wanted another 2.5AH battery. It was cheaper to go to Home Depot and buy a leftover 1st gen blower with 2.0AH battery and charger since they were selling for $90. The battery failed in about a year since it was sitting on HD shelf for who knows how long. Ego sent me a 2.5AH battery for free with no problem. I wish I had a bigger battery for the blower but couldn't beat the price!

[@jbw5485]

I think mine might be 1st gen too, 580 cfm, purchased 10/2018. Very pleased with it as a home leaf, grass clipping and light snow blower. Partly for the convenience. It just hangs on a hook inside the garage door and makes for quick easy cleanup. I later bought the string trimmer (have a couple hundred feet to trim) and equally pleased.

[@davidhorizon8401]

I actually think the skateboard test was valid and helpful. I would be torn between the Ryobi because is so much quieter and the Ego. But it really comes down to what you already have purchased so you can use the same batteries.

[@th3R0b0t]

I can tell you how. Fatigue. As a painter using Airless sprayers, I use different sized machines for different jobs, different pressures and different tips. A large machine running full bore moving a lot of paint, puts a lot of back pressure on your hand-arm-shoulder, and it can be tiresome trying to do that the whole day. Meanwhile, the little machines are a cake walk. In my mind, the heavier the unit, and faster the airspeed, is more fatigue. So I'm sure there is a calculation to find the most (objectively) comfortable blower to use.

[@pardeepsingh6578]

it’s all depends on what you use it for, i use my blower to dry my car after a wash. i bought the ryobi whisper series and works well. if i were to purchase again i would go ego because they have the stubby nose attachment

@@Foxinthetree SEE EDIT BELOW Yeah big investment. Selling afterwards could be an option, as would accepting loaners from other people, though might be difficult to get so many borrowed at the same time, and they'd all be in an unknown used state. Another option might be to make an exception to the "purchased myself" rule and reach out to manufacturers to ask for T&E units he can compare. I'd personally be completely fine with making an exception to his rule in this case. I can imagine a test like this, out of pocket and before resale, costing well over $20k, depending on the number of contenders. edit: For some reason I thought the original comment was about _riding mowers_ but it was actually for _push mowers_ , so that moots my entire comment. He could purchase a really solid lineup of higher end battery powered push mowers for 5k - similar to the cost of a single battery powered riding mower on its own. This should not be too big of a deal.

@@mmaimmortals Gas, oil, spark plugs, air filters, carburetors, pull starters/recoils,... Your time to maintain those things/get gas (ethanol free), need a gas can, stabilize it or buy small quantities more often. If you're already on a platform with batteries & you don't need much runtime, they're excellent. It's the same thing with battery powered weedwackers & chainsaws, they all have their place.

[@mmaimmortals]

@@adamjames1375 I would agree that having the platform makes a huge difference. But I’ve run gas equipment for years and the expense to maintain just isn’t that much. One battery typically costs way more than three or four years worth of maintenance. - about $8/yr gas, $8/5 yrs spark plug, $10 / 5 yrs filter. That’s only $58 in 5 years. Hard to imagine spending that little on batteries for tools used regularly over 5 years. And batteries don’t actually last all that long when used regularly. So, many people can’t compare a cordless drill to a weed eater, when they use one every great once in a while for a few minutes and the other 15 to 20 times a year and run the batteries to near depletion.

@@solidshark91493 I considered buying a Master Blaster but, I didn't want to buy such a specialized tool. And, I don't really have the room to store it. Plus, I can carry it up a ladder easily to blow leaves, etc. out of the valleys of my roof. The EGO works well for me. Maybe not so much for others.

[@jdaniels1313]

Thanks! I bought the DeWalt 722B prior to seeing this video because I have some DeWalt 20V tools. I actually got 2 used/refurbed units for $100 each and I'm happy to see the tool is below average compared to the $300 units, but they work well enough and suit my light duty purposes. I also have some Ego 56V stuff and now I know if I ever need a bigger badder blower, to go with the Ego platform.

Get the ego, the big one. The run time is laughable across the board of cordless so I only use it for cleaning the barn out and restarting the burn piles, worthless for yard clean up. but its dang near as powerful as my backpack redmax.

I've never really given a second glance to the Harbor Freight Atlas series... But I'm pretty impressed by the performance versus price. I've been using the Greenworks 40v system for over 5 years now and it served my needs well. I'll be comparing the Atlas tools to the other options when I get ready to upgrade.

[@boots7859]

In the Chinese manf. world, there are a handful of big companies that make 90% of all the Big Name brands. HF could sell really almost clones of DeWalts, Makita, Millwaukee or whomever, IF they wanted to pay the additional cost for that quality level. The do this once in a while like they did the with Earthquake Rev. 1 a couple years ago that AvE tore down. A while after, after the PR bump and they sold out, they dinked them back down a couple notches in Cost Engineering, but kept the price. HF has a Marketing Dept. that is pretty smart, they will get an almost identical clone in stock, and compare it the same looking Market Leader in the comparison ads, and people just see that they look the same, but the price is 20% less, so.....

[@ctthenerd]

Definitely deserves mention for pushing above it's price even if battery cost is excluded.

I generally avoid HF power tools because they haven't held up for me in the past. Haven't tried their battery powered products for fear of experiencing the same issues.

If anyone is wondering about how the Kobalt 80v blower would compare (I have one myself), it is essentially the same as the Greenworks blower tested in the video. Greenworks makes both and the main difference is that Kobalt is just a private label that Greenworks makes for Lowes.

Very enjoyable to watch, and very informative. When I used to own an electric blower, I noticed that the angle and shape of the nozzle made a big difference when blowing leaves. Those who live in the northeast with giant hardwood trees surrounding their homes will require the most efficient blower/tube designs. A gas powered blower may still beat any electric or battery powered unit.

Honestly, they all blow... if you have the Milwaukee, it's fine. Nobody is taking note of how your lawn implements ranked in tests. Just blow stuff around with it and enjoy the convenience of a cordless electric blower that doesn't sound like a Vespa on nitrous.

Good to know I made a good choice in purchasing the EGO blower.

BTW, nice E-bike.

I have two of the EGO 530's and I'm happy with them, I did also purchase two of the gutter cleaning kits for the units so I could reach 16 foot when needed. I got them as combo's so the price was right.

[@dislikebutton5291]

If it helps I’ve had an echo 25cc gas handheld, a ryobi 40v backpack, an echo pb755st, and the pb 9010. I can answer any questions about them if you want a comparison

[@staudtj1]

@Dr_b_ EGO makes one but it has somewhat lower specs than the 765 cfm handheld. You can put a 10 amp/hr battery in the backpack and it will run for well over 1.5 hrs.

[@dislikebutton5291]

@Dr_b_ In my opinion the lithium backpacks are alright but I was not too happy with the battery life on it. I’d run 2 4ah batteries at once on my ryobi and it still seemed to die pretty quick

[@RobDeHaven]

Todd, it would be awesome if you’d do a compilation video of what brand is the best overall for battery operated tools. Buying into the eco system of batteries drives most peoples decision when it comes to these purchases because it is easier when all the batteries work for all the other tools. You might need to have sub categories for example with the brands that offer 12v, 18v, 20v, etc types of tools like Milwaukee. I bought into the Porter Cable brand years ago and now that brand is nearly dead, so I’m trying to figure out what new brand to jump into. Milwaukee seems like they have the best selection but are also the most expensive. Love your videos. Edit: Suggested categories, * Outdoor tools * Mechanics tools * Construction tools * Maybe an overall if you think that would apply.

[@brownro214]

Todd, in answer to Rob's (and others) suggestion maybe you could do a video compilation of the all the battery powered tools you have already tested to come up with a best brand. It is disappointing though when a brand you have heavily invested in and like starts to lose favor and you can't get new batteries, new tools, or replacements. P-C made some good tools. Sorry to see them declining. We have several battery powered outdoor tools from Kobalt 40V line. Have been very satisfied with all of them.

Somehow I always find your videos very relevant each time I see one.
