- I have a new EGO Power+ LB6151 leaf blower. In this video, I open it up, give my thoughts about it, and briefly demonstrate it.
Key takeaways:
I think it's more powerful than my plug-in electric leaf blower
Buy it with the battery if you don't have a small lightweight battery already
You may want multiple batteries or a larger battery for any big jobs
It's not quiet, but it's not horrible like the gas blowers
This is not a comprehensive review; it's more of an overview. It should be useful if you're thinking about getting a battery-powered leaf blower. I'm not making any money off this, so I'm not doing things like buying a range of different blowers and comparing them; there are plenty of other videos like that already.
Here's the link to this model on Amazon: www.amazon.com...
Great review, thanks!
Thanks!
Two small batteries and re-charging are better for me than swapping to a big battery for ergonomic reasons.
That's not a bad choice. And it's not expensive to get a second small battery if you are buying another yard tool. The important point is to not expect the included battery to be enough for clearing the leaves off of pretty much any lawn.
Why did I pick EGO? With battery yard tools, you'll want to stick with one ecosystem. Make your decision around the largest item you're likely to buy. For most people, that's going to be a lawn mower, but in my case, it was a snow blower. I went with EGO because they had one of the best snow blowers and a great range of lawn mowers. Also, EGO has only one battery system, where others have two or three battery lines, locking you into separate consumer or contractor tool lines, and also some have changed their batteries over the years instead of sticking with one. That gives me a lot more confidence that the current battery system will still be supported for many years to come.
