of Amazon ratings are 1–2 stars
(checked 2026-10-10)Small sample (714 ratings).

The longest-running blower in both Wirecutter's and Pro Tool Reviews' tests, with a strong boost mode and excellent balance. It's pricey, Pro Tool Reviews measured it as the loudest in its group, and its normal high setting is much weaker than boost.

In the box: 1 x 40V 7.5Ah battery and charger (Amazon listing title; Pro Tool Reviews kit)

Wirecutter's upgrade pick costs about $380, roughly $100 more than its EGO top pick. Husqvarna's cordless line covers lawn tools only.

Loud at the operator's earMentioned often
Pro Tool Reviews measured 97 dB(A) at the operator's ear, the loudest in its test. Noise level is a mixed aspect on Amazon.

Long runtime comes with a weaker high settingMentioned often
Pro Tool Reviews measured just 9.5 N on high versus 20.9 N on boost. Amazon owners are mixed on battery life (some say about 30 minutes) and durability; one reports it broke on day 40.

What owners love

Best runtime
Over 30 minutes on high in Wirecutter's test and 38 minutes in Pro Tool Reviews' test, both the longest. The battery charges in about 90 minutes.

Strong boost, useful scraper tip
Boost mode was clearly stronger than the EGO pick (Wirecutter). A scraper nozzle loosens wet leaves and cleans cracks. Amazon owners compare its power to gas.

Excellent ergonomics
Well balanced and easy to swing, with a guarded intake (Wirecutter). It was Pro Tool Reviews' favorite to use, at 9.7 lb with battery.

What experts say

Wirecutter (NYT): Upgrade pick and the finest cordless blower it has used: unmatched runtime, strong boost and great ergonomics. Downsides are price and a lawn-only battery platform.
Pro Tool Reviews (head-to-head): 85 points, 4th of 9: longest runtime and low weight, but the loudest in the group and much weaker on high than on boost.
