This is the lightest cordless blower I’ve tested to date, as well as one of the most powerful. At just over 5 lbs (10 lbs with the battery installed), a 90-minute run time (on the low setting), and 600 CFM blowing at 110 mph, this is one heck of a blower. It doesn’t have a shoulder strap but it simply doesn’t need one; it’s light-weight and well-balanced enough to be easily held with just one Continue Reading
[Video Review!] The cost of the Redback 120V blower falls at the lower end of comparable tools by other manufacturers. Having tested others, I find the Redback a great value. Power meets light weight, maneuverability and long battery life. What’s not to like? Continue Reading

This light-weight, maneuverable sweeper replaces a broom for cleaning light debris on flat hard surfaces. It’s not a blower so isn’t intended for moving heavier stuff around. It’ll run about 8 minutes on a full charge (enough for most simple tasks) but takes 3 hours to recharge. Continue Reading

That aside, the Greenworks 40V Lithium-Ion Axial Blower (model 2400802) is definitely a recommended buy. Continue Reading
Simply put, if you have the cash, want to go cordless, and want a superior quality product, buy the Troy-Bilt TB4300 Blower. It met all my expectations and then some. It’s a solid performer that can be stacked up against any gas, cordless, or corded blower in its class. Continue Reading
Redback has produced a very good blower, with excellent quality and safety features, a helpful shoulder belt, 60+ minutes run time, and four blower speeds. It has an electronic control panel instead of a variable-speed trigger-style throttle, and will only run in turbo-speed mode for 30 seconds before dropping down to high speed – two features that some users may not like. Overall though, it’s a good choice for use in the typical suburban property. Continue Reading
This review applies to the following models: WG545, WG545.1, WG545.5, WG545.9, WG575, WG575.1 If you’re looking for a heavy-duty leaf blower, this isn’t the product for you. But if you want a cordless, lightweight, quiet blower that will easily sweep the patio, clean debris from your garage, or blow away dry leaves from between […] Continue Reading
