EGO Power+ LB6504
2 sources$279as of Sep 25

The EGO Power+ LB6504 is the all-around pick for homeowners who want gas-rivaling clearing power without the maintenance. It pushes up to 650 CFM and 180 MPH in turbo, and independent force testing measured north of 20 N, putting it among the strongest cordless handhelds in its class. Weight and turbo runtime are the trade-off. For most yards, the standard mode and 56V battery ecosystem make it the safe default.

Strengths
  • — 650 CFM peak airflow in turbo mode clears wet, matted leaves most handhelds leave behind
  • — Tested blowing force scales from 11.4 N on high to 20.3 N in turbo with the 5.0Ah pack
  • — Variable-speed trigger plus a turbo button gives fine control for tight beds and open driveways
Watch-outs
  • — At roughly 10 to 13 pounds with the battery it is heavy for extended handheld use
  • — Turbo mode burns the 5.0Ah battery in about 16 minutes
  • — Kit price sits near the top of the homeowner-handheld bracket
Greenworks 80V BL80L02
Ranked #4 in Best Cordless Leaf Blowers
Greenworks 80V BL80L02
1 source$119.99as of Oct 25

The Greenworks 80V BL80L02 gets you near-premium airflow, 730 CFM at 170 MPH, at a value price. Pro Tool Reviews described it as one of the highest-performing models in the Greenworks fleet with 26cc gas-equivalent power, and it runs about an hour per charge on a larger 80V battery. It's the best power-per-dollar pick here, with the caveat that the headline price is tool-only.

Strengths
  • — 730 CFM and 170 MPH put it in step with premium handhelds for less money
  • — Brushless axial motor with a tapered nozzle for an extra air-speed boost
  • — Operates near 77 dB, reasonable for an 80V high-output blower
Watch-outs
  • — Sold tool-only at this price, so first-time buyers must add a battery and charger
  • — Just under 9 pounds, not the lightest in the group

How they stack up

EGO Power+ LB6504

The EGO Power+ LB6504 delivers more peak force than the Ryobi RY404130 40V Whisper Series, and its 20.3 N turbo figure compares with 18.8 N for the DeWalt DCBL777 60V MAX. The Greenworks 80V BL80L02 lists higher airflow, 730 CFM against 650, at a lower tool-only price, but its 80V tool ecosystem is smaller than EGO's.

Greenworks 80V BL80L02

The Greenworks 80V BL80L02 lists 730 CFM, above the EGO Power+ LB6504's 650 CFM and just under the DeWalt DCBL777 60V MAX's 760 CFM. It costs less than the EGO and the Ryobi RY404130 40V Whisper Series, but that price is tool-only, so a battery and charger are extra. Its 80V tool ecosystem is smaller than EGO's or Ryobi's.
