Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower Review

The Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower is an affordable electric alternative to a gas blower, but how does it get the job done? We’ll give you the statistics and features of this model and let you know what we liked and we didn’t like about it.

Without further ado, let’s take a closer look!

Profile at a glance

The Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower has the following specs and features:

  • Dimensions: 31″ x 7″ x 10″
  • Weight: 3.3 lbs.
  • Gmax 40 volt 2.0 amp hour battery
  • Max speed of 150 mph

Our impressions of the Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower

The Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower is extremely light, at 3.3 pounds, which makes using it a breeze. It takes about 1 hour to charge with the quick charger, which is not bad, and each charge will get you up to 25 minutes of use depending on which speed that you select. You can also get a 4.0 amp battery from Greenworks that is compatible with this model and will double your run time.

This makes this leaf blower great for cleaning off the patio but not very practical for yard work. That said, it is excellent for clearing leafs and other debris from hard surfaces and it has 6 speeds which you can use for your work. We did test this on a yard and unfortunately with wet leaves the performance is a little frustrating.

Pros

What we liked about this model:
1. Lightweight
2. Clears a patio much faster than a broom
3. Battery can (and should) be upgraded to double the charge

Cons

Where we felt is could use some improvement:
1. Like many electrics, it’s not very powerful
2. Only good for hard surfaces, poor performance in the yard

Final verdict

If you are just looking for a nice portable to replace a broom for clearing the porch or the patio then this blower will make you happy. It’s lightweight and quite fit for small jobs. That said, if you are thinking of tackling wet, autumn leaves in your yard then you may want to consider something more powerful. Our verdict?

The Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower – a light leaf blower for light jobs only.
