EGO Power+Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 650 CFM, Includes 56V 5.0Ah Battery and Charger - LB6504

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.

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.

A friend of mine has one and recommended it to me. I have a back-pack gas unit, but no longer want to use it and the electrics I have owned left a lot to be desired in so far as battery life. It's powerful, but don't ask it to do what a gas unit can do. It will move thick, wet clumps of leaves, but it wouldn't be my choice if there was a lot of them. Like most electrics, it works best on smooth surfaces, but I did tackle the rock drive and it was fine. Don't get me wrong; this IS a powerful blower and I have no problem recommending it as all around blower and if I only had one, this would be it.The battery is the heart of this blower, but with that power comes weight. I will be getting a nice shoulder strap for it. Someone commented that it was not balanced well. I disagree. When you hold it to do work, it is tilted at exactly the angle I want to use for blowing leaves. Drying a car? I have no idea.I like the trigger for sure, but the feature I liked the most was the dial that set continuous power to whatever is needed. You can add power by pulling the trigger. I can run it for twenty minutes at maybe 30% (using the trigger sometimes) and only use about 20% of the charge. The battery is wicked big and has a charger to match; with a cooling fan no less. Charge level is indicated on the battery in 20% increments. I like it and would buy it again, but like I said, it's heavy. Hope this helps!

The EGO Power+ LB6504 Leaf Blower has been a fantastic addition for all my cleanup needs. It has solid power for a cordless model, and while it’s not quite as strong as my gas or corded blowers, it’s incredibly practical. The variable speed is useful, and Boost mode adds that extra power for tougher spots.The battery has a good run time, enough for me to tackle my roof and gutters in one go. It’s a relief to work without cords or the weight of a gas engine, especially on elevated surfaces. Another bonus is the compatibility with my other EGO battery packs, so I can switch them out and keep going if needed. Overall, it’s a great buy—convenient, reliable, and versatile for everyday yard work
