EGO LB5300 56V Cordless Blower Review
The world's most powerful leaf blower is the latest EGO's POWER+ LB5302. It matches the efficiency of unwieldy corded blowers and petrol-powered backpack blowers. There's no excuse not to go for the ease of a battery-powered blower, EGO suggests.
EGO LB5300 56V Review - The Most Powerful battery Leaf Blower
The EGO POWER+ LB5302 is the best powerful cordless leaf blower. It comes with an advanced 56V Arc 2.5Ah lithium battery. The volume of the airflow is better than gas driven blowers at a similar price.
The battery-inclusive EGO POWER+ LB5302 weights 7.4 pounds. Top speed isn't as high as gasses, but at 114 mph it's still decent enough. In turbo mode the battery is 15 minutes long but it only needs 30 minutes for the 2.5Ah Arc lithium battery. This is a joy and the consistency of air is cleaner than combustion of fuel. It can be used with other EGO control tools without any wiring.
The 2015 Pro Tool Invention Award was won by Ego's EGO POWER+ Series, including the blower. Overkill? Perhaps, but we won't complain if it's on sale!
