Higher ratedRanked #1 in Best Cordless Leaf Blowers

EGO Power+ LB6504

4.7

$279.99as of Jun 7

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. The trade-off is weight and turbo runtime, but 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
— Measures 88 dB(A) at the ear in turbo, louder than the quietest competitors

Ranked #3 in Best Cordless Leaf Blowers

Greenworks 80V BL80L02

4.5

$179as of May 29

The Greenworks 80V BL80L02 delivers 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
— 26cc gas-equivalent power handles wet leaves and stubborn debris
— Around 60 to 70 minutes of runtime on the higher-capacity 80V packs

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
— Smaller 80V tool ecosystem than EGO or Ryobi
