Leaf blower
Posted on 8/23/22 at 7:49 pm

My old hitachi gas blower quit on me. It was probably 10 years old. Always ran Tru fuel and never had many issues until the hoses deteriorated. Money well spent, and I wasn't trying to fix it.
I need to replace it. I have dewalt 20v tools / batteries already.
Should I get a dewalt blower, or any recs for a gas or lithium powered blower. I'm not a landscaper and have a lawn service, but I find a blower comes in handy so I want another. Please advise. Thanks.

Gas will always be more powerful but I’ve recently switch my yard tools to Dewalt electric and couldn’t be happier.
Don’t have to hear that wife can’t start blower or weed eater anymore.
Still have a stihl blower for big tasks but Dewalt does just fine for most

My 15 yr old echo died a couple months ago and since I also had all Dewalt 20v tools I bought the Dewalt. It's not the same as gas. Doesn't have the power. However, it blows the leaves and dirt off my carport and deck just fine and my wife actually uses it instead of complaining to me about her not being able to crank a gas one, or her putting the wrong fuel mixture in it, or it being heavy, or calling me at work to ask which can of fuel is the right one, etc. Overall I'm not upset I got it.

Love my dewalt blower and weed eater. Haven’t had the balls to go with the mower.

Year 7 on my 2nd Echo blower. My first one lasted 20 years.

Dewalt 20v
My Greenworks, brushless motored, one works great. My dad's Walmart store brand one works fine too.

Stop fricking around a buy this bad Boy
Have you been into a tractor/small engine shop recently. The smells are infectious. As soon as you walk in you have to buy something.

Same. I have the flex volt blower so I can use the same battery for other tools like a chainsaw.

Stihl or echo

I have a Dewalt blower and it’s great.
I have an ego too and love it as well.
If you’ve already got Dewalt batteries then just go with Dewalt
I promote, you will not miss pulling that rope on the gas blower.

Unless you are a commercial guy doing lawns for your living, go to a battery unit and dont look back, seriously.
Ego 56V has been great for me, and I've got a lot of sidewalk to clean up after mowing. Use it after work for 2 mins and dont smell like gas.

I've got an Echo blower about the same age and it cranks super easy and no issues whatsoever. I run 100LL gas in it mixed with some Bel Ray that I ran in the dirt bike forever.
I only have vicarious experience with Stihl, but my dad's stihl equipment seems to be more temperamental starting.

I bought an Echo PT9010T blower a couple of months ago. 1,110 CFM at the nozzle. It's the most powerful blower on the market. It was worth every penny.
I still have a Redmax EBZ8001 (685 CFM) from 2009 and it works like the day I bought it but I wanted a more powerful blower.

Dewalt blower sucks. If you want battery powered go with the ego model and the big battery
Posted on 8/24/22 at 9:36 am to White Doug
I went with a Toro 60volt a few years ago and love it. Much easier than maintaining another engine and does just as good a job.

Dewalt. Leave it outside and never had an issue in 5 years.
Also have the pole saw, weedeater, and push mower. No problems.

I have an Echo 650 CFM and it's been great. I've never ran the battery out on it even when blowing leaves
