MixedTimed runs gave roughly 22 minutes per stock 5ah battery with boost and about 32 on full only; fine for patio and clippings but far short of an old gas backpack for heavy leaf work.
Of the 55 reviews with a clear verdict, 53% are positive, 31% mixed and 16% negative. The praise mentioned most is powerful. The most common complaint is heavy.
The complaints reviewers mention most: heavy (5 reviews), short runtime (3 reviews) and poor warranty support (1 review). For example: With two 5ah batteries the whole setup feels too heavy for casual use, and a smaller 2.5ah pack is being considered to shave weight.
