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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.

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.

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