Compared to some other blowers I feel like this one pushes some air way more than others. Use it daily with no complaints. Would recommend a 6ah high output battery for best performance.

Love it, so much easier than gas or corded units. It is light and easy to handle. Variable speed trigger works well. Lots of power in the high-speed setting. My Red Lithium XC 5.0 batteries are more than adequate for most jobs but I would want more battery for substantial leaf removal. The batteries discharge quickly and warm up in the process, so I let them cool before recharging. It will make clearing light snow from the driveway and rink fast and easy.

La sopladora la probé con una batería M18 High Output de 6 amperios, y me ofreció gran potencia, ideal para limpiar hojarasca y pequeñas basuras de Jardín, es práctica y no es ruidosa y pesada en comparación con sopladoras de combustible. Cuenta con 2 modos de velocidad lento y rápido, además de que el gatillo te ofrece la opción de regular la intensidad de la sopladora.

Yep works amazingly, super light as well, I’ll have to get new batteries though as it absolutely SHREDS my 2.0AH ones…. from full charge I’m lucky to get 5 minutes before it’s dead
No fault of the blower though that’s just batteries but yep, great unit.

Use it for blowing leaves off my drive

Works good and gets the job done. It does seem to like to suck up whatever you are wearing where the air pulls from. That could have been placed better.
Otherwise for me personally as a woman, it’s a little heavy. Especially for bigger jobs.

Blower really works well but it will drain a battery faster than you can imagine. Holy Wow….
Super light weight and has lots of forced air. I will the smell of 2 Stroke at times but this blower isn’t replacing my Stihl blower.

Milwaukee makes fine tools in my opinion, and this is another. This light weigh blower is easy to assemble without tools and is just as easy to use. The blower is relatively quiet, has great power and gets pretty good run time with the standard battery. It seems good to have an extra battery on hand to finish your work if necessary. The batteries charge fast, so you won’t be down for long is you only have one.

In a good way, Milwaukee, what else do you need to know. Works for blowing off the driveway, drying the cars, and blowing out the garage.

I was hesitant to buy a cordless leaf blower. I read many mixed reviews indicating they were weak. Milwaukee M18 was only rated mid-tier. But I have the M18 hedger and string trimmer which are beasts and top quality construction. So I trusted my own experience with Milwaukee and I am glad I did!
The 2724-20 trimmer is plenty powerful enough to blow leaves, grass trimmings, gravel, dirt clods off driveways and sidewalks, and leaves off the lawn. I have used extensively the Stihl BR600 backpack blower which is nearly a jet pack it is so powerful. The Milwaukee is not nearly as powerful as the BR600 but I rarely used the BR600 more than 30% throttle and the Milwaukee is plenty good to go.
Many gas powered blowers have to idle fast so they don’t die (unless you keep your engine tuned properly). And you don’t want to turn it off frequently and have to keep restarting it. So you walk around with the blower constantly on and have to be very careful where the nozzle is pointed so as you change positions you don’t accidentally blow away your pile, or blow sand against a car or passerby. The cordless blowers turn on and off in an instant so it is super convenient to just let off the trigger and stop when someone walks by or wants to chat, or you need to change position and walk through an area you do NOT want to blow.
Also, the power of the M18 blower is perfect. Not so strong it blows things too far or blasts them too far into areas not wanted. Yet plenty strong enough to scour dirt clogs off the driveway and scoot gravel off it as well. You don’t have to be right on top of the debris like weaker blowers. I work my debris line about 6-10 ft from me, which is perfect for me to not have to micro-manage the thing yet also have good amount of control of the debris line.
The unit is very lightweight for its power. Easily handled by my 10-12 yr old grandkids and wife. I used it with my already owned M18 9.0Ah battery and after blowing the driveway, a sidewalk and some garden areas I still had all four lights on the battery status. Should do fine with 4.0 or 5.0 Ah batteries.
On the highest speed it does start to produce a turbine whine. But I rarely need full blast power and anything below that is pretty quiet. I used about half power most of the time with an occasional full blast.
I generally hate the sound of leaf blowers. Resisted getting blower of my own as I hate hearing the dang things so often at office and at home. But so glad I finally got this 2nd gen M18 blower. Very quiet so it is not irritating. Battery powered so no messing with gas and pull starts. Just slide in a battery and pull the trigger. Compared to the mixed reviews I read I am so surprised and pleased with the power of this blower. Not sure how it will do with wet and packed leaves. But that situation is low on my priority list. I find it very useful to blow off wood working tools, dusty shelves, outdoor work areas, blowing dirt and leaves out of the garage, keeping the drive and sidewalks clear, and it should be plenty strong enough and I think light enough to use for blowing leaves out of the gutter (not tried yet). I saw a Youtube video of a guy using his blower to rekindle his campfire!
By the way, the trigger is variable speed. Many reviews I watched seemed too say you just had the fast (rabbit) and slow (turtle) settings. It does have that, much like a drill/driver does. But like the drill/driver with two speed settings it also has the variable speed trigger. So that was nice to discover. It has a trigger hold button but that does work only at top speed for either setting.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and the M18 blower is just perfect for my home use. I would think this would be very nice for a commercial landscape company to have so they could do blowing inn the early morning hours or in very quiet neighborhoods. Personally, I wish all leaf blowers were cordless instead of the annoying gas engine sounds. I love the sound of chainsaws and mowers but gas leaf blowers are just annoying to me. Milwaukee make fantastically tough cordless tools and this blower looks every bit as well designed and sturdy as the other tools I have from them.
