Zoom on the EGO POWER+ LB4800
The EGO POWER+ LB4800
With its cordless handheld design, the EGO POWER+ LB4800 is best suited to homeowners with yards that fall in the mid-size range, suitable for seasonal cleanup and routine care.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 480 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 92 MPH. To put it simply, it handles a limited amount of leaves and debris on a small lawn or garden area, suitable for light, occasional clearing.
A 56V brushless motor powers the POWER+ LB4800, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. This version is a bare tool, so batteries are not included. To function, it requires a 56V ARC Lithium™ battery. With the BA1400 battery, EGO says the blower should operate for up to 60 minutes on a full charge.
With 3 speed settings and a turbo button, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
Weighing 5.2 lbs, this cordless unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed. When using a BA1400 battery, the total weight of the blower reaches around 10 lbs.
The EGO POWER+ LB4800 is rated IPX4, offering protection against water splashes from any direction, such as moisture kicked up from wet surfaces.

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).
- Weighing only 5.2 lbs, the EGO POWER+ LB4800 is on the lighter side compared with many 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.
- Maxing out at 92 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the EGO LV5005, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 210 MPH.
- Its max air volume rating (480 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of 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.
- Autonomy-wise, with up to 60 minutes of autonomy on a full charge, the POWER+ LB4800 is on the low end when compared with other cordless handheld units of similar voltage. 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.
- Runtime efficiency for the EGO POWER+ LB4800 is among the better figures in its class, helping the user get more work out of each charge. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Echo DPB-2500, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.64 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 56-60V cordless blowers, the EGO POWER+ LB4800 is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this blower nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
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
- In the expected price range
- Brushless motor
- Light bare tool weight (5.2 lbs)
- Excellent power efficiency
- Low CFM for its voltage
- Low MPH (92 MPH)
- Low autonomy (60 mins)

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.
