Ego POWER+ 765 CFM Blower LB7654 Reviews

Step up from the 650 which was always on turbo; on normal it is roughly the older model on turbo with a boost above that, and turbo is often the default.

Several times a week on the driveway, deck and patio with the smallest battery, it has plenty of power but poor balance that tires the arm.

On turbo it matches a 50cc gas backpack blower for power, but a 5ah battery is gone in under 15 minutes, so gas-level work takes several batteries.

Good blower, but even after stepping up to a stronger model it still struggles to move heavy acorn loads across grass.

Really good for a big driveway, deck and yard, but tiring to carry around for more than 20 minutes.

Runs it on a large 7.5Ah battery, which makes it heavy but lets a full leaf job finish without swapping batteries.

The handheld gets about 30 minutes on high from a single 5Ah battery, but holding it that long tires the arm, so the backpack gets used for fall and spring leaf cleanup.

With both the handheld 765 and the backpack model at two homes, the handheld on a large battery becomes tiring over time.

Main blower for big leaf piles, but heavy enough to need two hands most of the time and tiring after half an hour, so a lighter old blower covers quick jobs.

With a 4 or 5ah pack the kit is pretty heavy, comparable to an old gas blower; the tool-plus-battery kit included a shoulder strap.
