Backpack Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 600 CFM, Battery and Charger Not Included - LB6000

This wolf will huff and puff and blow your house down. I LOVE this blower. Way more power than the gas Makita gas blower it replaced and without the noise that drives the neighbors crazy.

Very comfortable once I got the piece on my back.

Product itself works great! However, we have had it for only 5 years and all of the backpack straps (sides and chest clips) have snapped or ripped, making it unusable. There is no way to contact the company to explore potential solutions so now we have an expensive unusable product. Doesn’t make sense to buy the product all over again just for straps that are faulty. Would love a solution so we can keep using this great product.

The EGO Power+ LB6000 600 CFM Backpack Blower is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to clearing my leaves and debris. While it boasts impressive performance, a few considerations keep it from a perfect score. The standout feature of the LB6000 is its incredible blowing power. With 600 CFM, it effortlessly tackles leaves, grass clippings, and even heavier debris. The variable speed control is a nice touch, allowing users to adjust the power based on the task at hand. I've never had this feature before so I really liked it. The convenience of this backpack blower is further enhanced by its lightweight design and ergonomic harness, making extended use comfortable and less fatiguing. The brushless motor deserves praise for its efficiency and quiet operation. The LB6000 delivers an impressive level of power without the noise associated with many gas-powered blowers, creating a more user-friendly experience for both the operator and those in the surrounding area. I do yard work early in the morning, so my neighbors are thanking me for less noise. The backpack design distributes the weight effectively, reducing strain on the arms and shoulders. The adjustable straps provide a customized fit, catering to users of different sizes. This thoughtful design ensures that users can handle prolonged use without feeling weighed down. I'm 6' 1" and 195lbs and I have no trouble wearing the harness for prolonged periods of time. However, the battery life is where the LB6000 falls slightly short. While it provides a commendable runtime with my 5.0 ah battery, users with extensive clearing needs may find themselves needing to recharge or swap batteries more frequently than desired. Investing in additional batteries could be a consideration for those with larger properties or more demanding tasks. The EGO Power+ LB6000 600 CFM Backpack Blower is a top-tier option for those seeking a powerful and environmentally friendly solution for leaf and debris removal. Its performance, ergonomic design, and quiet operation make it a standout in its class. While the battery life may require some planning for more extensive tasks, the overall benefits and efficiency of this backpack blower earn it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

I have a LOT of experience with numerous leaf blowers. Gas blowers are powerful, but noisy, stinky. Electrics, are pretty close now in power and capability, on and off on demand, less noise (but still noisy), no stink. Electrics are either wired, or battery - those that compare with top end gas blowers, are top end 110v wired, or Ego and Stihl make battery powered blowers that will compare with gas. This is not comparable to high end gas. BUT, the stihl blower that is comparable to gas is much more expensive and heavy. The ego that is comparable to gas is the 8000 commercial model and for any respectable battery life, it'll be super heavy on your back and is much more expensive than this. This, is a GREAT leaf blower for the price. It is not so heavy, the weight is well distributed across your back. It is well built. It participates well in Ego's ecosystem. While it won't substitute for a high end gas model, not having a wire following you means, getting around flower beds, or odd areas, or drying your car, or getting grass off the driveway after a cut, or cleaning your garage - it is PERFECT for that. It may not be okay for heavy leaves on wet grass. But that is what the 110V wired blower, gas blower, or a mower is for. Secondly, get a backpack blower. Battery + Blower can get heavy. Unless you use a blower for < 15 min at a time, trust me, you want it on your back, not on your wrist. As a bonus, this is much less noisy than an equivalent competitor model I have replaced it with.
