[QUOTE="Lakenut, post: 3926106, member: 30258"] I had the opportunity to sell my backpack blower and I’m looking for a replacement. First off, after the ice storm 2 years ago I have significantly less trees/leaves and the backpack became a pain for blowing the concrete after mowing. I hardly ever use it now for leaves. We spend a lot of time outside in the summer and I’m tired of blowing off the patio and pool deck and smelling like 2 cycle…. Thus going battery is appealing. After mowing it’s around 10 min of blowing. The patio and pool deck take about the same time several times a week in the summer. I have several Dewalt tools and my initial though was a Dewalt blower then I started reading reviews. The 20v gets wimpy reviews and the newer 60v blower gets consistently low reviews for quality. This has me looking at Ego…. Particularly the the 650cfm 5ah and the 615cfm 2.5ah models. The only negative reviews they get is being on the heavy side compared to other battery powered blowers. The only other downside I see is it is a different battery platform than the other yellow tools I own. Does anyone have any hands on experience with Dewalt blowers or Ego? Any real world reviews or is there another brand to look at? [/QUOTE]
