Description
Overview of the Greenworks 2418502
- Power: The Greenworks 2418502 is a cordless blower with a maximum air volume rating of 550 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 155 MPH.
- Power delivery: Greenworks designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The 2418502 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: Its 5 Ah 60 V Li-ion battery (1 2949102 battery included) means that a user can operate the 2418502 for an estimated 50 minutes on a full charge.
- Handling: As this unit is a backpack leaf blower, the majority of the unit is distributed so that the user can operate it with ease for most reasonable periods of use. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Among other electric backpack blowers, the Greenworks 2418502 can be considered light, weighing only 14.4 lbs, battery included.
- 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 2418502 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.
- Noise: As far as electric backpack blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 86 dB.
The Greenworks 2418502's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Greenworks 2418502 compare with backpack leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- Its max air speed of 155 MPH places it at the approximate midpoint in comparison to other battery-operated backpack blowers between 56 and 60V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Echo DPB-5800T and its 195 MPH could be an option to consider.
- As this unit is rated at 550 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBPX8004-2, which boasts with 800 CFM.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 50 minutes from its battery, which means the 2418502 won't run as long as many other cordless backpack units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the EGO LBPX8004-2 which offers up to 120 minutes of runtime.
The bottom line
- Lightweight (14.4 lbs)
- Brushless motor
- Cruise control
- Acceptable noise (86 dB)
- Decent MPH (155 MPH)
- Low CFM for its voltage
- Low autonomy (50 mins)
