Description
Overview of the EGO LBX1000
- Power: The EGO LBX1000 can expel 1000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 185 MPH.
- Power delivery: Since the device is powered by a brushless, battery-operated motor, it doesn’t require to be plugged in and therefore, it allows superb freedom of movement. EGO claims that this unit delivers power of a 60cc gas blower.
- Battery: Its 56 V Li-ion POWER+ battery (BA5600T battery (opens in a new tab) not included) offers a maximum autonomy of 100 minutes on a full charge. More info on the POWER+ battery can be found below.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. However, for a cordless handheld blower, the EGO LBX1000 is heavier than most, weighing 7.3 lbs without any battery.
- Speed Settings: The EGO LBX1000 provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
- Noise: The LBX1000's noise level is rated at 65 dB, which is standard for electric handheld blowers.

- A fuel gauge that indicates the average charge capacity of the inserted battery packs.
- A battery icon that illuminates when a battery pack is attached and the blower is turned on.
- A speed lock icon that illuminates when the blower is on and the speed lock button is pressed briefly.
- A fan icon that illuminates when the blower is operating.

The EGO LBX1000's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the EGO LBX1000 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- It can propel air from the nozzle at speeds going up to 185 MPH, placing it at the top of its class for air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the EGO LB8803-2 and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- The LBX1000 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 1000 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is the highest CFM among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage.
- With an impressive autonomy of up to 100 mins, the LBX1000 outlasts numerous cordless handheld units in the given voltage range, providing users with extended run time. 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.
