I’ve been using an “electric cord attached” type Leaf Blower for about 3 years. I’m just “over” the cord unplugging from the wall socket at least 1x minimum when using it. AHGGGGG! Saw this CORDLESS battery run “leaf blower” and decided to give it a try. THERE IS NO LOOKING BACK!! It comes with 2 batteries and a charger for the batteries too!! So easy to assemble in just a couple few minutes. Just don’t get so excited that you don’t top off the batteries charges first (per specific instructions to do so)! Plenty strong for my needs around the exterior of my house and driveway/sidewalks. Today I was in a hurry with a storm coming … and this blower actually rolled a rock off my carport completely that covered the size of my palm!! The battery charger was ridiculously easy to use an apply battery to it. I charge up the battery(s) immediately after using blower so that it’s alway ready to go! No looking back to the “plug-in” blower… don’t know how I put up with that for so long! Yes, I would order this again… if I ever wear this blower out.

There are three speed controls on this blower:
1. There is a variable speed trigger controlled by the index finger that blows from 260 to 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute). The blower shuts off when the trigger is released.
2. There is a variable circular dial control controlled by the thumb that locks from 260 to 400 CFM. This control is independent of the trigger control. When the dial is in the fully counterclockwise direction, the blower shuts off
3. The third control is a “TURBO” button pressed by the thumb that immediately increases CFM to 480 CFM. The button does not have a lock feature. The button can be pressed when using the trigger or lock controls. Pressing the button by itself does not turn on the blower.
I have another cordless leaf blower that does not have a Turbo button. The trigger is variable up to 480 CFM. Due to WeGoFly control design, I found myself predominately using the trigger with a max of 400 CFM and occasionally engaging turbo mode. This conserves battery power. Of all the cordless tools I have, which includes nine brushless DeWalt tools, leaf blowers deplete batteries the quickest. This is in spite of the fact that the blower has an energy efficient brushless motor.
It’s great that WeGoFly includes two large 6 Ah batteries. These batteries provide a long run time. There are no battery status lights on the batteries or the blower. It is never recommended to use a cordless battery to 0% charge so replace when the blower decreases in power. An efficient full-size charger is included rather than a wall wart. A red light on the charger is illuminated during charging and green when fully charged.
When comparing blowers, compare CFM, not MPH. Volume of air moves leaves more effectively than speed.
If possible, I recommend purchase of cordless, gas hand-held and gas backpack blowers. I have all three and there is a niche for each one. I use the cordless for daily clean-up of leaves on sidewalks, driveways, narrow entryway, utility area and workshop (my largest tree is more than 3 feet wide). I also use it indoors for under/behind furniture and appliances.
I think the blower design is excellent as there are no bends or curves intake air travels to go through the motor and output through the tubes. You can look straight through the blower from end-to-end. Bends and curves decrease CFM and MPH.
Lastly, the blower can be stored in the vertical position that saves space during storage (SEE PICTURE).
I highly recommend this leaf blower.

I’m always suspicious (if not annoyed) when sellers offer 50% off any item. I immediately think they are trying to claim we are getting a much more expensive unit for a bargain price. I’d rather this unit would have been listed for the $80 price than shown a $160 retail.
At $80 it’s an honest bargain with some welcome features. The all in price includes a charger and two 6 ah batteries that do last a long time (compared to similar offerings from other makes. It is lightweight for its size and the multiple trigger functions are very handy and easy to use. Includes a harness strap for prolonged use.
I used it to clear off some pine needles from my walk and blow out a dusty, spider webby garage that houses two cars and a workshop. It had plenty of power, and one battery lasted for both jobs. It’s variable rated up to 400 cfm continuous with blasts up to 480 cfm when you floor it. Of course, that will eat up your battery power quicker, too. But two 6 ah batts offer lots of juice.
I don’t like the wrap around grille/vent on the intake side of the motor (see close-up pic). It’s too easy for the suction to grab your shirt if you hold it near your body. Ryobi has thought this through and has a recessed tunnel intake to help alleviate that issue. But I like the power here for the price better than the Ryobi.
It also needs a power tip (or concentrator) to boost velocity. I tried to use it to blow dry my vehicle after washing it. It couldn’t move the water fast enough and was a clumsy handler. (I usually use a corded plug in blower off my shop vac with a power tip.) To be fair, all the battery units I’ve tried can’t get that job done. It’s a shame, but not surprising. The corded blower requires two hands to control the torque and I was hoping for a battery powered alternative.
It has a little “chassis” plate that attaches to the bottom so it can sit flat. It’s also great for hanging it on a wall. I showed a pic of two large sheet metal screws threaded into wall anchors and about 2 inches apart. They engage nicely with the chassis for an easy hang- by itself or with a battery attached.
This is definitely a capable blower for general yard and shop clean-up duties and won’t break the bank.
