That being said, it can feel lighter and more comfortable because of the way it is carried, even when used over extended periods of time.

The Greenworks 2418502's performance versus other blowers

- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 155 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for battery-operated backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Stihl BGA 300 and its 192 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Its max air volume rating (550 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of cordless backpack blowers. 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 Makita CBU02Z which offers up to 240 minutes of runtime.
