EGO LB8803-2 - 56V 880 CFM Cordless Brushless Blower

Overview of the EGO LB8803-2

• Power: This cordless leaf blower features a maximum air volume rating of 880 CFM and an air speed rating of 200 MPH.
• Power delivery: The LB8803-2 is a brushless-motor, battery-operated blower. Therefore, it doesn’t require to be plugged in when it’s being used. The user will enjoy the added mobility of its cordless design.
• Battery: Its 4 Ah 56 V Li-ion POWER+ batteries (2 batteries included) enable the blower to run for up to 90 minutes without needing to recharge. While the unit can operate off of one or two batteries, using two batteries gives you a longer run time and a more efficient power draw. More info on the POWER+ battery can be found below.
• Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time.
• Speed Settings: There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the LB8803-2 offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.

The EGO LB8803-2's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the EGO LB8803-2 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).

• Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 200 MPH. This puts the LB8803-2 at the head of the pack as far as air speed is concernedin battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V.
• For those prioritizing air volume, the EGO's LB8803-2 delivers with a maximum airflow of 880 CFM (cubic feet per minute), surpassing most cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Toro 51827, with 900 CFM, could be in your good books.
• Thanks to its autonomy of up to 90 mins, the LB8803-2 benefits from a higher run time than many cordless handheld units in the aforementioned voltage range. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Toro 51822 can run for up to 140 minutes and could be worth considering.

POWER+ Battery Technology

EGO's POWER+ technology is based on a high-end patented ARC Lithium™ design which utilizes a third row of cells to achieve high-voltage performance. Combined with a revolutionary phase-change material which envelopes each cell, the arc-design of the cell's arrangement allows for more efficient cooling and an optimum power distribution across all rows of cells. This technology also embeds a patented power management system that monitors and optimizes each individual battery cell to maximize its power, performance, and runtime. Moreover, the battery casing is completely sealed and has an enhanced shock and weather resistivity. Thus, the battery is protected from drops, rain and the elements.
