Handheld is strong enough to clear stubborn helicopter seeds and debris from a one-third acre yard, though the weight leaves them fatigued and looking at a backpack model.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 25 days ago

Two years with the handheld alongside a later-bought backpack model; the handheld stays handier around corners and tight spaces while the backpack is more comfortable for long leaf sessions.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 104 days ago

Handles leaves, clippings and deck clearing; two 5ah batteries are plenty for normal work plus occasional turbo on a reasonably sized residential yard.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

Secondhand purchase with a 2.5ah battery; a brief porch cleanup test was enough to be happy with the blowing power, though not yet used for real lawn work.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 105 days ago

About 45 minutes to an hour of runtime on the included 5 amp-hour battery, which is judged perfect.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 121 days ago

Second replacement head also jams, with the line getting stuck inside; the problem returned sooner with a non-branded string than with the maker's own.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 121 days ago

Five years of trouble-free use apart from the bump feed clogging when cutting dense stilt grass; has run both original and aftermarket line.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 133 days ago

Rarely needs boost for gathering leaves from a Japanese maple, and the small 2.5Ah pack gives roughly an hour at partial power.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 151 days ago

Original unit still going strong after seven years and is being passed down to a family member; prefers the PowerLoad line system over newer feeds.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 151 days ago

Plenty good for a standard yard; bumping for more line is no bother, and the auto line feed version was skipped after hearing mixed stories.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 192 days ago

The aluminum kit with the small included battery is very light and handy for smaller jobs.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 201 days ago

Blower with a 5.0Ah battery from 2021, registered and recommended to everyone including a friend who got a mower.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 216 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 341 days ago

Turbo runtime falls short of the advertised 15 minutes, and customer service said only 12-15 minutes should be expected from a new battery, which left them unhappy.

Reddit · r/lawncare · 352 days ago

Moved from a gas Toro to this mower with the 10Ah battery and loves it on a half acre, with no issues through thick spring growth over three years.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 367 days ago

Alternates between 5Ah and 4Ah batteries on it and avoids turbo mode to save runtime, which works well for their yard.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 373 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 378 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 394 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 394 days ago

Fatigue on a long driveway went away after resting the blower on the hip with the shoulder strap, with the battery blocking the air intake so nothing gets sucked in.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 394 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 394 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 394 days ago

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

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 482 days ago

Mower in its fourth season on a half acre corner lot with no issues or maintenance beyond replacement mulching blades.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 492 days ago

The power drive unit was swapped for the quieter version at a Northern Tool location and returned within a week at no charge, which was excellent service.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 494 days ago

Three years on the mower after a Honda gas mower that cut better; convenience keeps them mostly happy and they are considering the higher-torque model for cut quality.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 496 days ago

Heavily used for years, including brush hogging, and still pretty good, but the plastic deck is damaged and the self-propel stays engaged, a design problem they see.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 499 days ago

Had no jams and easy reloading once adjusted, but the line feeds suddenly in bursts and changes the cut line, which was frustrating at first.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 500 days ago

Switched from gas and finds the self-drive less smooth than an old Honda, with a delay in engagement and an unpleasant whine, plus a hard-to-justify price.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 500 days ago

Several years of ownership, still working great and not something they would give up.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 500 days ago

Pretty happy after moving from a heavy, loud gas mower on a smaller lawn, but finds the self-propel janky in short bursts and dislikes the deck nose.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 500 days ago

Handles very tall, thick grass easily and avoids gas mower hassles; the one complaint is no front-drive, though the drive engages quickly.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 500 days ago

Newer version was meant to escape the whine, but it is not nearly as powerful as their Honda, with awkward self-propel buttons and a start delay.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 515 days ago

Blower arrived delivered with sealed straps but a brick in the box instead of the battery, so it had to go back to the store.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 529 days ago

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.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 539 days ago

Mowed a sloped three-quarter-acre yard for about 70 minutes, recharged briefly, and used only about an eighth more battery; the hill was handled easily with great torque.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 540 days ago

After repeated frustration with battery leaf blowers, this one impressed them enough that their collection of the brand grew over three years.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 544 days ago

Worked fine for a couple of years, then began spitting out too much line and tangling; soaking the trimmer line in water fixed it.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 565 days ago

Static shocks have never happened during use of this model.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 565 days ago

Static shocks come from this model during use.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 565 days ago

Static shocks occurred with the original, so Ego was called and replaced it under warranty; the replacement has been fine for two or three years.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 577 days ago

Line IQ version chosen over the bump-feed trimmer after hundreds of feet of Echo line with no trouble; cleaned with a brush after each use.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 598 days ago

Came with a free 2.5Ah battery, and the power is more than enough for their yard, with lower noise that makes it nicer than the louder alternative.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 604 days ago

A free battery promo brought it home, and it works great for roof and driveway cleanup.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 609 days ago

Very happy after moving up from a 650 CFM blower; also picked up a stronger one later for clearing light snow off driveways and cars.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 609 days ago

More power was the reason for the upgrade from this older, smaller model, which still beats a single-battery Milwaukee blower by a wide margin.

Reddit · r/egopowerplus · 609 days ago

Fall purchase for heavy leaf work; multi-hour cleanups meant swapping a 5Ah and a 4Ah battery, and the blower is called a beast.
