I'm used to a more heavy duty type blower ( over 160 mph ) , either electric or gas powered with a much more powerful force for blowing. I use them both a lot I got this one for light duty work. Just clearing away leaves / dust / etc from a sidewalk, driveway, or patio. It does OK at this, but NOT for any kind of heavy duty use, it does not have the power You only have about 10 mins of battery life and power. it's a single speed blower ( the bigger blowers may have 2 speeds ), the Earthwise website says it blows 140 mph but I doubt it If there is a light breeze blowing against you forget it. The breeze has more influence than the battery blower does. May the breeze be at your back instead. Pros: Lightweight and easy to use, good for a 5 minute job sweeping away light debris from a walk way / driveway / patio, Quiet compared to the more powerful blowers Cons: 18V BATTERY is a major weak spot, only 10 mins power. They should use a 24V instead for a bit more life Only good on smooth surfaces, garage floor, side walk, etc not enough power to blow bigger jobs

This is a great light weight cordless blower for small jobs. It doesn't have the power of an electric blower but but it is easier to handle. I've used it to blow off debree from my deck that falls daily from the large tree above. Not sure how well it will work for blowing leaves from my yard in the fall.

So far I have no complaints about the cordless blower. It has the power I need and is really light to use. The battery is easy to charge with the included charger and gives me enough time to complete blowing off my driveway, patio and sidewalk. All in all, the Earthwise CB20018 18 Volt Cordless Blower is a good product and I would recommend it to anyone that has an average sized lawn.
