This blower is very powerful and IMO is a perfect match between CFM and MPH. I love the cruise control and the powerful battery. I have a 4.5 acre lot with lots of border trees and a big driveway. Perfect fall leaf colors too 🙂
Caught it on sale for 79$
I like this leaf blower! Perfect for use around my 5 acre hobby farm!
