- Is it STILL worth it? | Ego Power+ 650 UPDATE! - This is a follow-up video to the video posted a week ago on the EGO Power+ Blower, the 650CFM 180MPH Cordless Blower. I wanted to discuss my thoughts, likes, and dislikes of this blower and ultimately if you should buy it.

I opted for the ego 615 blower=$199 & have not been disappointed.
A great video. The EGO battery powered products are truly a Great bang for the buck with quality. My experience is 25+years as a owner for Lawn Equipment ( I sold the dealership in 2018 / the price was right ). This Marine was always honest with my customers; so, when they saw and asked me about the Stihl Battery Products at the store; I had to be upfront on my opinion because it is about " People before Profits; " thus I would recommend the " EGO Battery Products. " Example: the Stihl BGA 85 with AP300 battery and charger is @ $549.85 vs an EGO with battery and charger @ $ 300.00....OH YEA!
I don't believe that Stihl is making their electric stuff in the U.S. and yet they are commanding a high price. Maybe EGO is making their stuff too! I have several Stihl gas machines that I'm slowly replacing with EGO electric stuff.
I can give you a really quick eval... This thing is a BEAST! But, it's by FAR the heaviest (battery) blower you'll find. I use it for 2 houses but pay the price in muscle fatigue for days after but it still cuts my work in half easily. Guess I'll have to work out a little more cuz' I'm not letting this one go! 👍🏼
Put a strap on it...
I have 2 EGO products that I bought in the last few months (mower and trimmer) and I swear by them. I've looked at other EGO products and for what you get the price point is very good. I think they have the Midas touch and their products really are designed well!
I got my ego blower a few years ago and it's one of my best tools. I got a extra battery and charge as needed.
I bought mine last year and have been 100% satisfied with it. I sold my gas-powered. I would highly recommend it!!!
Great review. I ended up going with greenworks 60V cause their performance is almost just as good, and there tools are a little cheaper along with the batteries. I ended getting there 2nd gen mower with the turbo button for $250, and there 610 CFM Blower for $89! I live up north so this stuff always goes on clearance after summer is over. 👍🏼
Bad choice tater tot.
@@georgedavall9449 been a good choice so far. It works great tater tot
I have a lot of Milwaukee too but they really can't compete whit this.
Thank you very much BrandoMotion for the detailed explanation. I'm in the market for a powerful leafblower to mainly clean my gutters during fall. - Jose
I was eyeing one of these after a new car purchase and wanted something to dry the vehicles and also use for the driveway. I lucked up and got a new EGO 650 with the stubby nozzle and blowerband for $210 due to a listing mistake. Talk about luck!
Very helpful video. I picked up one today. Much appreciated!
I had one for about a month now. Love it! Very powerful for a handheld.
Just picked this up at Lowe’s for $300, I’m glad I didn’t get the the smaller one for $170 because honestly I thought it would feel more powerful. But I’m excited to see how it does in the fall-
Leaf blowers are not for drying off cars, they're for blowing leaves in the fall. To dry a car, you should use a Metrovac Master Blaster. This is designed to dry cars and even includes a heat switch which can be selected to dry water even faster!
I get it but I love the cordless power this unit produces. I've tried MetroVac's (even entertained getting a BigBoi and still may) and wasn't impressed. Decided to try the blower and was surprised by the speed of drying due to it being powerful and cordless. Someone also mentioned the fact that the air isn't filtered but I have not notice any additional paint defects as a result of drying and i've checked after each wash on black and blue cars. With this being cordless I feel I can move around the car quicker during drying. Now if someone eventually makes a powerful, cordless, filtered and heated car dryer, I'll be the first on to test.
@@BrandoMotion That EGO blower is waaay too powerful to be using to dry a car. If you want to use a cordless electric blower, get one that is not so powerful.
@@BrandoMotion There's no filter on the EGO blower so any dirt can be picked up and blown on the water remaining on the vehicle. Also there is no heater on the EGO like there is on the MetroVac and the added heat helps greatly to decrease drying time.
I live 10 miles from German border. to dry my car off I get on the autobahn and drive legally at 140mph for about 15 minutes.
Bought one of the lawnmowers a few years ago and one battery used to mow my whole lawn. Looking to get another battery. Will just buy the blower instead if just buying the battery.
Home Depot near me always has the ego mowers reduced. Currently they have about 7 of them with 7.5 battery, fast charger for $399. I was thinking of just buying one just to get the battery. And I would also have a spare mower. Currently have 4 of their tools and always buy the tool with battery due to the high price of the batteries.
Great video. You have a new sub. 👍🦅
Yeah their battery prices are insane. I bought a 7.5ah with the lawn mower. I like the 7.5ah the best. I wanted another 7.5ah but they only had that with the lawn mower at the time so I just bought another one and sold the lawn mower at a good price, so I ended up buying the 7ah for like $150.
Good review video. We would like to have seen it perform on your car drying process though. I have the 580CFM EGO blower, and I love it too. Down side: Tennis Elbow! I blew LOTS of leaves last October, (7 months ago!) Now I try to limit my nozzle wiggle, which is what caused the injury. The battery is amazing, I was able to blow all my flower beds out, and all the leaves in one charge, which RELLY suprised me. I also have the EGO self winding string trimmer, which is BAD TO THE BONE. Then, just because i love my other two EGO tools so much, I got the new 1" cut capacity hedge trimmer, which is also, BAD TO THE BONE. I'm hoping EGO will make a riding mower soon, because my current rider is 15 years old, and very noisy.
I am working on a car drying video next and should be out this week. As for the tennis elbow, I know what you mean. Another commenter is using the EGO Strap, which I may pick up for yard use. For car dry, you have to move the unit around the car so you are working your elbow into better positions, which to me helps stop the pain. When using it for yard work your elbow is in mostly one position and the pain builds. Like you, I am going to add to my EGO arsenal soon.
Please do a video on drying a car after a washed, would like to see the result, thanks.
You're in luck! ua-cam.com/video/sss30bN_4io/v-deo.html
@@BrandoMotion how long of a run time do get on a fully charged battery? There was a guy saying he can only get 12 minutes on his dewalt, then it needs to be charged again! Hope to hear from you! Thanks!
I like this blower. I bought one a few days ago and it’s pretty good for what it is. But the batteries are severely overpriced. I mean $450 for the 10 amp hour battery. Give me a damn break. 🤦♂️
I needed another ego battery and the 5ah is an ok size. I paid $270 for this new blower and to just buy the battery was $249. So for $20 more I got a charger and larger 650 blower.
Great video! Keep it up! New subscriber 😀
I love EGO products.
I have the edger, leaf blower, mower, 1stage snow blower and the inverter.
Looking to getting the power plus generator and charger for solar connection.
How long is all of you'alls battery lasting?
It works great, it convenient, and handy but the battery just don't last that long.
Mine seems to be a little loose around the main hook up into the shaft hopefully it will hold up.
Had mine for a month... now DEAD. No answer from EGO, waited on hold twice for an hour with no answer. Plus they have no email for support. Very disappointed for a $300 blower.
Interesting they say there batteries last up to 10 yes before needing to be replaced.
I was debating if I should get the 580 or 650. I don’t think the price is much different as of today.
The better one is cheaper actually. $300 vs $330 I think.
Great video! Thanks for posting! +1 subscriber
Awesome, thank you!
Ordered one yesterday. So why am I watching this video?
How long will it run without the turbo mode. What is the mph if you know? Thanks for the great videos.....
Roughly 90 minutes of runtime on continuous power. On standard mode it flows between 225-500 cfm. The air speed (MPH) will be determined by the outlet size you use. Using the tapered nozzle roughly 60-135mph. This is all without turbo activated and using rough estimates.
looking to get one of these to dry my vehicles as well. would you say it completely drys a car in one battery charge? a vid would be great!!
I would say yes, but that all depends on the car. A small to midsize vehicle yes you should be able to dry that no problem. A large truck will probably need a second charge or some quick movements to speed up the drying. Mainly due to the use of the turbo button, if not using turbo then one charge will be sufficient for both.
Leaf blowers are not for drying off cars, they're for blowing leaves in the fall. To dry a car, you should use a Metrovac Master Blaster. This is designed to dry cars and even includes a heat switch that can be selected to dry water even faster!
I have the 550 cfm whistler Ryobi blower and I just used it today to dry off my truck. One 4ah battery lasted the entire time drying off my truck and that was with using the turbo button for about a quarter of the time. I highly recommend it because it is $179 and includes the blower, charger, and 4ah battery. Really good deal for the price. Yes the Ego is a better blower but not worth the $300 especially when the Ryobi does everything that will for almost half the price.
Thanks for the video! Good info. If you could condense your videos into 5 minutes that'd be awesome.
Why is the 580 $30 more than the 650 at home depot?
580 got the fast charger for the battery it’s more expensive
Why is this exact same question, worded exactly the same, but by different people asked on every single ego leaf blower video
My dad has that
where in atlanta are you from?
If you think it is heavy with those guns I am glad I got the strap 😂😂
Lol, yeah if you are using it during the entire battery cycle it can be fatiguing .
You aint buying EGO products from Home Depot any longer. They no longer sell EGO products. You will need to shop at Lowes or Ace Hardware for EGO stuff.
Made in China, not for me.
Practically EVERYTHING is made in China, so good luck with that. Either way, this blower kicks ass! My favorite EGO toy by far.
Basically every vehicle part is made in China or some foreign county, every toy you buy for a kid, your clothing or a part of your clothing, appliance parts...
@@peteross4879 give it time, the world is waking up and will be leaving China.
@@anthonysolis4163 husqvarna, makita, stihl are mostly manufactured outside of china. Japan is pulling out all manufacturing out of China.
And here I thought Ego's headquarters was in Michigan
