EXCELLENT LEAF BLOWER BATTERY OPERATED A EXCELLENT LEAF BLOWER VARIABLE SPEED BATTERY OPERATED ITS LIGHT .POWERFUL ALTHOUGH NOT AS POWERFUL AS AN ELECTRIC BLOWER BEING BATTERY OPERATED AND LIGHT ALWAYS AT HAND HELPS REMOVE LEAVES DUST FROM PATIO PLANT POTS PERFECT FOR THE LIGHTER DUTIES ROUND THE GARDEN ECT GLAD I PURCHASED THE UNIT G.

Bought 9 months ago ago to deal with autumn leaves. After all this time, I feel qualified to give an objective review. Pros: 1. Powerful, but only initially. In the first few months, this worked well with most debris in the garden/driveway. Even small amounts of wet leaves. Struggled somewhat with heavier piles of wet leaves, though managed to move them (slowly) in the first 2-3 months. 2. Lightweight for a powerful machine - great for even the weakest person, ie me. 3. Easy to assemble - there are essentially 3 parts (motor, battery and nozzle) plus a battery charger. 4. Parts: i) Nozzle is long and thin enough to slot into the deepest and narrowest of spaces in my garden. No need to bend to reach debris on the ground. This is easily removed for storage. ii) No need to keep a button depressed on the motor to operate. iii) Nice dial to change speeds, no clicking etc. You can shift effortlessly from weak to strong modes, so get a range of settings instead of just 5. 5. Cordless! No need to find an external power socket all around the house; or keep various doors/windows open to access a socket indoors! 6. Battery is compatible with other garden tools, though admittedly, I have no others... 7. Great price at ~£60 (now ~£50 on Amazon), considering just the Briggs&Stratton battery alone costs ~£87 on Amazon! Cons: 1. Not easy to remove the battery from the blower and the charger. 2. Not impressed with the Briggs & Stratton battery that everyone seems to rave about: i) After 4 months, battery life started to dwindle and the leaf blower went from lasting 30 minutes on high power after a full charge to ~15 minutes. Not worth bothering with lower speeds at this point. ii) After 4 months, charging also started to take longer, from under an hour to almost 2 hours. iii) Leaf blower strength also started to dwindle after a few months. I didn't really notice this as much until it got really quite weak after about 5 minutes of use at full power. So much for the 225km/h. 3. This is the first leaf blower I've ever owned and listened to during use. It is quite loud, though it doesn't bother me. There is a certain sense of satisfaction blowing leaves, which makes you oblivious to the noise... 4. Given its battery output, not for heavy-duty blowing or for use in a large garden/area. A good buy, if not for the battery. Perhaps I got a dud battery? I was super happy in the first few months. 10 months later... The battery has completely died on me. The charger states it is fully charged but the power indicator no longer lights up and won't power the blower. Rang Amazon as there is a 5-year warranty on the blower. All they could do was issue a refund instead of repairing or replacing the item. Since I got it during a Black Friday sale, I now cannot purchase a new blower with similar speed under £70. Let's hope something comes up at Thanksgiving...

Perfect and simple to use!

Great blower light and easy to handle and well worth the money

I get a lot of leaves from the garden onto my patio, and it’s a pleasure to blow them all away in one corner

Much better than a previous blower that I had. Still not the power of the petrol industrial blowers but for my needs perfect without the expense of something I wouldn’t get the value of.

Light and easy to use. Good design. Lacks true power and works best on dry paving, not as effective on other surfaces.

I had hoped it would be more powerful than it is. Bought to use in garden and with clearing bees from supers. It just about does the job and it is very light, but really you need more power from it. Love how the battery works with other tools in the range. I have one battery and three tools and it was very affordable
