Speaking of spring cleaning, one of our favorite leaf blowers, the Greenworks Pro 80-Volt Cordless Electric Leaf Blower, is 24 percent off at Amazon. Bonus: Your purchase comes with two 80-volt batteries and a charger, so you can keep working until the job is finished.

In our testing, editors Roy Berendsohn and Bradley Ford found the “light but powerful” leaf blower to be a solid replacement for gas-powered models. The leaf blower’s tapered tube offers a focused and precise air stream, allowing our editors to clear out test areas with ease. It offers a volume of 580 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a top airspeed of 145 mph, making it a solid choice for small- to medium-sized yards.
The Greenworks Pro 80-volt leaf blower offers a variable speed trigger, so you can control airflow by how much you squeeze the trigger. The feature is useful for tackling different areas of your yard. For example, you can use a lower speed around delicate flower beds to avoid damaging the delicate plants. Meanwhile, a higher speed is perfect for quickly clearing heavier debris from areas around your property.
The leaf blower also has a cruise control feature that helps you maintain a steady airflow. The feature works exactly as it sounds: squeeze the trigger until you reach your desired airflow, then adjust the cruise control lever to lock it in place. Once set, the feature maintains said airflow so you only need to focus on directing the nozzle. As someone who regularly uses a leaf blower, I can vouch for how much this feature helps reduce strain on the hands and wrists.
As mentioned, your purchase comes with a charger and two 80-volt batteries (one is 2.0 amp-hour and the other is 2.5 amp-hour). This gives you extended runtime and the ability to tackle even larger jobs. Even better, these batteries are compatible with other power tools in Greenworks’ 80V catalog so you can swap them between your leaf blower and lawn mower.
