Ego Blowers

I am about to buy one for my back patio/pool area. Is the 765cfm that much stronger than the 650cfm?

Go to Hills Equipment in a Livingston. They will let you try it out.

Can't imagine the 650 doesn't meet your need

if i was buying again i'd go bigger because why not.
you might have the need to blow the leaves off the front lawn of the house 3 down from you one day.

Good point!

I bought the 650 for blowing my pool deck, outdoor kitchen, and back patios. It’s been great and that’s a lot of area in my yard to maintain. Can’t imagine you’d need anything bigger/stronger.

I have the 530 and it works great for me...blowing my 20x36 patio, driveways, and shop.
It does a good job on leaves and pine needles also

I have a rock bed around my pool and a lot of oak trees around. Those leaves tend to get hung up in those rocks and my current blower struggles to get them to moving.

I have the 530 and needed more power. Ordered the 765 kit with 2 batteries and the fast charger (from acme tools). Very happy with the purchase. Buy once, cry once.
Looks like the price increased on the kit. I paid $439 plus tax.

My only suggestion is get a 4 or 5ah pack instead of the 2.5. The small one will probably handle your leaves as far as runtime, but I managed to burn one out doing some tough edging. To be fair, the edger did shut down a whole lot of times to warn me but I kept going like a dumbass as that was the only pack I had at the time. No problem doing the same thing with the 5ah.

Looking for a lightweight blower for my 85 year old mother to use around pool area. Any recommendations?

I have the 765 and I rarely use the power boost function. I only use it when I am trying to move a pile of wet leaves. I really like this blower, and I have the string trimmer also.

Just fyi, typically the larger ones come with larger batteries, which is good, but they are also substantially heavier.
I have both. The smaller is suitable for my house, and I have a pretty good bit of concrete.

Above is correct
Great blowers and equipMent in general
I have 530er and it’s pretty heavy but does great job with decent lasting battery

I have the 650 and it’s plenty of power. I have tons of trees. I live on 2 acres and most is wooded so tons of leaves, needles, pine cones, and twigs. I can actually use it to blow all that off a rather large lawn and on one charge.
