Zoom on the EGO POWER+ LB4800
The EGO POWER+ LB4800
The EGO POWER+ LB4800 is a cordless handheld blower that is a good match for homeowners with yards that fall in the mid-size range, suitable for seasonal cleanup and routine care.
It is rated for a max air volume of 480 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 92 MPH. This balance means the blower is suitable for light clearing across small yards, patios, driveways, or garden paths.
A 56V brushless motor powers the POWER+ LB4800, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. This is a bare tool configuration, which means it is supplied without batteries. Its operation needs a 56V ARC Lithium™ battery. According to EGO, using the BA1400 battery should allow the blower to run for up to 60 minutes on a full charge.
Featuring 3 speed settings and a turbo button, the POWER+ LB4800 offers users flexibility in adjusting airflow.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 5.2 lbs and is built for one-handed operation with precise airflow control. When using a BA1400 battery, the total weight of the blower reaches around 10 lbs.
The EGO POWER+ LB4800 carries an IPX4 rating, meaning it’s protected from splashes of water, useful when working in damp grass or light drizzle.

The EGO POWER+ LB4800's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the EGO POWER+ LB4800 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- At only 5.2 lbs, the EGO POWER+ LB4800 offers a lighter option within the cordless handheld blowers in the 56 to 60V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the EGO LB7654 is worth a look at just 4.6 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 92 MPH, which is on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the EGO LB8803-2, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- The EGO POWER+ LB4800 delivers air at a rate of 480 CFM (cubic feet per minute), placing it towards the bottom of the range for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBX1000, which boasts with 1000 CFM.
- Its battery provides a maximum autonomy of 60 minutes, placing the POWER+ LB4800 on the lower end in terms of runtime among its cordless counterparts. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Echo DPB-2610 which offers up to 175 minutes of runtime.

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.
The bottom line

- Brushless motor
- 5 year (limited) warranty
- Light bare tool weight (5.2 lbs)

User Reviews
Easy to handle, well balanced, at lowest speed I can get over an hour from the battery. I have a spare battery that extends use when the leaves require more air velocity. It is very quiet and has a soft-start to limit inrush current. I also have an Ego LB4800 that is now 6-1/2 years old with the original battery. I Never had any problems with either one.
