I have a Stihl and love it. Run time is good on a full charge. It's plenty strong enough. I don't know the model number.

I have the EGO and on Turbo it will last about 15 minutes which is a lot of leaf blowing. On regular high speed it will last about 45-60 min. It charges up really fast so I didn't get an extra battery which I think is about $200. I'm going to get the weedeater attachment for it. They are not cheap, but on turbo it's at least as powerful as my 20 year old gas Echo hand held blower. I have two shitty pecan trees and a few others and i can clean that mess up with it on one charge.
not sure what the best way to handle them is but they shouldnt be on tv and gettn married and raisin kids

I wish they sold a battery powered edger. Not a weed eater but an actual bladed edger.

I have the Kobalt 40v weedeater and leaf blower. I live in a subdivision, slightly larger-than-average lot for a neighborhood of 1600-2000sqft homes. I can do all of the weedeating, edge the driveway, curb and sidewalk from driveway to front door, weedeat backyard and edge around 13x13 patio, then pop the battery out of the weedeater and into the blower and blow off everything, and still have 1 out of 4 lights left on the battery meter. Only once was I NOT able to do everything with 1 battery. I had done all the weedeater work and was about halfway through blowing off everything when the battery died, so I popped in the other battery (the one that came with the blower, which I bought separately) and finished. And that was only because I'd let the yard go a lot longer than I should have.
I absolutely love them...........my only potential concern is what Lowe's will do with the Kobalt brand, in general, now that they've purchased Craftsman.

I have a stihl and I like it. I use it to blow the garage out because it don’t set off the smoke / co2 detectors like the gas one did. But I don’t think it would be awesome for blowing big piles of leaves in the yard.

This. I bought the Kobalt 40v weedeater and really like it. I sure do wish Kolbaly would make a bladed edger.

I have this one: Dewalt FlexVolt 60vWorks great for doing the driveway, back porch, and around the pool. Plus I use the same batteries in my impact gun and drills.

Have yhe EGO as well. Works really good for blowing out the garage so the exhaust fumes from my gas burner dont get all in the house. Also bought the weedeater so i have an extra battery if I need it, which I rarely do. Really like the weedeater also.

Ego here as well. It gets used 5 days a week for 2 summers so far. Works great. Attempt to stay off the turbo button and it will last a while as previously said
Give me bout 15 more minutes, I was dreamin about beavers..........

I have the Milwaukee blower, weed eater, edger, and polesaw attachment and love them. I would like to add the chainsaw as well, but would also keep my stihl for bigger jobs.

I'm on the Milwaukee train as well. I've had the blower about 6 months and it's been great. The only time I've used up a full battery is with the pole saw attachment, and that lasted a couple days. I was sold on Milwaukee after using the cordless impact re-decking piers. It just won't quit.

Alot of my tools are battery or electric. A battery pole saw may be something to look into. As far as small motors go, I am using the premixed fuel from HD. True fuel or something like that is the name
Works great and both my demo saw and blower I keep on the truck always crank.
