Easy to use, but only for a short time

This unit was very easy to set up. Basically, you slide on the nozzle. Then you attach the unit to the charging base. And you plug the charger into the wall. That’s it for setup!

Using the unit is also very easy. There is a single switch on top that you flip and away you go. Since the unit is completely battery operated, there are no cords or gasoline issues to worry about. The whole tool is idiot-proof.

However, with the battery on a full charge, you only have about 15 minutes of full power. After that time, the unit looses charge quickly until it only puts out a small puff of air. By then you’re waving the thing around so much you might as well get a broom to do some actual work.

I give this item 5 stars for ease of use, but only 1 star for doing what it’s actually intended for, which is blowing. Considering I don’t normally buy blowers for any other use, I give it 2 stars overall.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Great for small jobs
I really enjoy this cordless blower. Other reviews about battery life are accurate–it doesn’t last long. I have a gas blower for doing heavy duty blowing, but this one is just right to quickly blow off my front walk, steps and sidewalk. And it is quiet and clean.

No cords, no gas!
Just what I wanted and it works! Minor touch ups to blow grass clippings and it even has the power to blow pea gravel off the garage pad. Had a 2 speed higher velocity corded version previously, but the cord hassel was a no brainer. This one works!
