WORX vs Greenworks vs EGO: which cordless leaf blower should you buy?

Fall means leaves, and a battery leaf blower is quieter, lighter and easier than gas: no mixing fuel, no pull cord. WORX, Greenworks and EGO cover the range from small patios to big suburban lots.
The battery platform matters as much as the blower. Once you own a brand's batteries, its trimmers, mowers and chainsaws get cheaper to add.

Volts, CFM and MPH
Higher voltage usually means more power. CFM tells you how much air the blower moves (more CFM moves bigger piles), and MPH tells you how fast the air comes out (more MPH lifts wet, stuck leaves). Look at both, not just one.
For runtime, a bigger battery (more Ah) runs longer. Running on turbo drains any battery in minutes, so a second battery helps on big yards.
Our verdict
For a small yard or deck, the WORX 20V is light and cheap. For a typical suburban yard, Greenworks 40V gives the most for the money. For big yards and wet leaves, EGO 56V is worth paying for.
Frequently asked questions
Are battery leaf blowers as strong as gas?
High-voltage models like EGO's 56V blowers come close to handheld gas blowers. Smaller 20V models are best for light work.
How long does a leaf blower battery last?
From about 10 minutes on turbo to well over 30 minutes on low, depending on the battery size and power setting.
Can I use batteries from another brand?
No. Batteries only fit tools of the same brand and voltage platform.
