Works pretty well, easy to maneuver. The battery doesn’t last very long and it doesn’t have a lot of power. Good for small jobs

I guess It was not what I was expectation of the power

I use this on my porch as my back pack blower is so loud and heavy. The battery is also interchangeable with my green works chain saw. This blower is louder than I expected- kinda like a loud hairdryer but it is very handy. It won’t replace a leaf blower but it works great around my porch and driveway. Highly recommend if you want something easy to use.

Lightweight and great for a woman to use. Love that it is battery powered. Works well.

This is definitely better than my old Black and Decker blower, and lighter too, but the battery only lasts about 15 min, which is still not enough time to blow off driveway, 2 patios, 2 sets of steps, plus sidewalks and curbs. I thought the lithium batteries were supposed to be SO much better, but this just isn’t the case…my old B&D battery [not lithium] lasted about the same amount of time, maybe just 5 minutes less. And when the Green Works battery runs out, the blower just stops, and you’re screwed, whereas the B&D would keep running, just not as powerful, so at least you could finish up. Also, this blower is definitely not strong enough to blow debris out of a gutter (as I had read somewhere that it was). Based on the weak battery life, you’d have to split your outside clean up days into 2 different days while you wait for the battery to recharge. I’ve purchased Greenworks products before, and expected a lot more, and it’s just too much of a hassle to return, so I’m stuck with it. I did a lot of research before deciding on the GW’s blower, and ultimately decided on it because of my past experience with the company, but I’ll be rethinking this in the future.
Update: I purchased this summer of 2015, and by the end of 2016 the battery was no longer working (im just getting around to updating my review) Since I purchased from Amazon warehouse deals I was out of luck. Essentially, I used the item no more the 10 times, the (joke) Lithium battery or whatever type it was was not kept in a cold garage, and I followed all the rules in terms of the battery, so iultimately, the battery is flawed and Green Works products are faulty and poorly manufactured items., To make matters worse, this was my 2nd Greenworks product; the other was an electric blower/mulcher which lasted only about 2 years, when it just gave out, so it too ended up in the garbage…2 of Greenworks supposedly ‘green’ products are now filling up landfills in less than 2 years time! So, never again will I purchase a Greenworks product…I work too hard to throw money away on disposable electronic yard tools. I also feel that Amazons returns need to be more flexible in situations like this, especially when you are NOT using something year round, you put it away for several months, and then when you go to use it the following year it doesnt work, after which you have no repercussions because you’ve had the item too long!

Great for light jobs

Needed a lightweight electric blower and since I already have 3 other Greenworks 40v garden tools I decided to try this one.
First impression is that it is very light, secondly it works pretty well compared to my heavy gas powered Stihl that I can’t start anymore. This Greenworks blower did everything that I wanted it to do, so I am pleasantly surprised.
My only complaint is that the off/on switch is easy to turn on but very difficult to turn off. I had to take off my gloves and use my pinky fingernail to turn off the unit. Wish they would have raised the switch a little more. All in all this is a keeper.

I have the Greenworks 60V 610 CFM blower, which I am pretty happy with. I was shopping for an additional battery because I cannot clean our entire property without being careful with the Turbo mode.
During Amazon Prime Days, the 80V 700 CFM blower was only marginally more than a 60V battery. Since battery-operated equipment seems trending to ever-higher voltages, I decided to splurge a little and get a second blower. Also, my kids could help with one of the blowers, especially with the leaves in the backyard.
The 80V blower has a much larger battery than the 60V, and I like how it slides into the charger. The 60V battery slides in vertically, and you need two hands to pull it out of the charger. The 80V blower is slightly larger than the 60V in the fan section. Overall, it is heavier once the battery is installed.
When I first pressed the button, the 80V disappointed me since it was not as loud as the 60V, even in Turbo mode. I took it to my ultimate test: the numerous magnolia berries and leaves stuck on the backyard artificial turf. Right away, I noticed that while the 80V did not feel as forceful in my hand, it was much better at blowing the berries and leaves than the 60V. I could clean the backyard quicker than the 60V and with much less noise. The 60V has a much higher-pitched whine, especially in Turbo mode. The 80V has a lower-pitched one, so I disturb my neighbors less. It cleaned the other outdoor areas more quickly (especially if I wield both blowers simultaneously!).
However, I prefer the Turbo button on the 60V. The 60V requires pressing the button to blast leaves and larger debris. However, you must use it wisely since it quickly depletes the battery. The Turbo button on the 80V works like an on-off switch: press it to turn it on, then press it again to turn it off. It seems like a minor difference, but with the more subtle turbo noise and the extra effort to turn off the mode, you would be more likely to deplete the battery. I’ll probably get used to it, but you must be aware.
In summary, if you have debris that requires extra power, prefer a quieter blower, and want to use other 80V equipment, get the 80V. If heavy debris is less of an issue, get the 60V, especially since the 80V batteries cost twice as much as the 60V batteries.
Hmmm, I overlooked their backpack blowers…

I’ve had mine since November and love it! It’s light enough for me to use and yet very powerful. The battery charge lasts forever and recharges quickly. I’m 75 and with balance issues and this blower is perfect for me! Much prefer it to my previous black and decker.

Not quite as powerful as I had hoped. Clearly a step down from an inexpensive corded version. But, it works, it blows, it’s portable. Good for small jobs.
