Exceeds expectations!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn't believe the power in this little machine, and it's quiet. I can use it almost anytime without bothering the neighbors, unlike my gasoline blower.

      I purchased this leaf blower as a gift for my boyfriend, and he loves it! He reports that the battery power for this blower makes his lawn clean up so quick and easy. Very happy with his new toy!

      convenient and powerful
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased this and love it. As powerful as goes blower and MUCH more user friendly. No hassle starting like a gas powered unit, No need for mixing gas. Just install the rechargeable battery and go. Even easily used by my wife

        Not bad, but the hesitation with the trigger pull takes some getting used to. Decent air flow and force.

        This is a nice blower. The battery doesn’t last as long as I had hoped when using the most powerful setting. It is heavy (for a 63 yo female) but I just keep switching hands so I don’t get tired. I use it to blow all of the leaves into a pile so I can burn or mulch them. I have another 40v battery so running out of power isn’t a problem. Much easier to use a battery blower than pull starting a gas backback blower. Plus it is much quieter. I’m glad I bought it. I have an acre to maintain.

        I was leery of buying a battery powered blower, but this blower really works well. I would recommend it for anyone that was thinking of buying a battery powered blower.

        This leaf blower is excellent, high power and low noise, battery lasts a lot longer than my previous blowers battery. You won't be disappointed.

        Great Blower -- Exceded Expectations
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace a 2-stroke gas blower but were skeptical of its performance, but the blower greatly exceded our expectations. It is much more powerful than the blower it replaced, much quieter, and gas and maintenance free. Plus, I don't have to pull start it for my wife like I had to do with the gas blower :)

          This thing is great. A lot more powerful than the cheap gas blower it replaced and it is quiet and maintenance free.

          This is a great product. Very powerful but a little heavy. I would buy it again though. It was a hassle trying to buy this blower. Went online and the local HD had 2 in stock but when I got there, they had none I then ordered it online and it was delivered quickly.

          doesn't seem to have the power as my previous blower that only lasted one year. But it's lighter.

          Meets All My Needs
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as my blower arrived I assembled it and took it out for a quick test run. It is lightweight, quiet, has a nice variable speed button as well as a turbo button for those hard to get leaves stuck in cracks. The jet nozzle is nice for smaller areas. I have small patios and only one tree, so this blower easily meets my needs to keep my yard free of dust and debris. I highly recommended this blower for most homes with average trees and vegetation.

                  40V Blower
                  I have a few other 40V ryobi tools so I decided to add this one to my list. So far it works awesome like my other 40V tools. Very powerful for a cordless blower. Sold my Stihl backpack that was actually far too powerful for my needs. This one is all I need and is much lighter and easy to hnadle.

                  Easy to use
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blower took the place of my extension cord blower. It is easy to use but will possibly need to get an additional battery as I tend to use it too much according to my wife! Blower could use a bit more power but was use to my old blower which with an extension cord provided more power.

                    Quiet but not the power of old one.
