What's up guys today I'm gonna do an unboxing and review of this brand new blower that
I got been in the market for a new blower for a couple months now I've been
using an old craftsman, doing been amazing but I'm freaking tired of having
to carry around the cord getting all twisted up and everything so, I know gas
blowers are a little bit stronger and I'd love to have one of those but just
for the sake of my neighbors I know they're pretty loud and I didn't really
want to have a gas blower and be annoying to all the neighbors so I was
looking at all the electric blowers the cordless electric blowers and did a
bunch of research the other day and for about two or three hours or so and had
my mind set on an ego blower the one that was about a hundred and sixty
dollars at Home Depot went there and this one was was right next to it
and it had a little bit more CFM and a little bit quicker miles per hour for
it's a blowing speed so and only $10 more this guy is brand new on the market so
that's why I didn't really see it a whole lot whenever I was doing my
research and checking out everything that that the internet had to
offer so I'm gonna go ahead and unbox this and check it out so one of the main
reasons I got this also was the decibel ratings is supposedly the quietest in
the market so they even call it a whisper series so you can see here and
it's supposedly only 59 decibels which is super quiet I mean most are you don't
need your protection until you're at like 80 or 85 decibels and so most
blowers are in the 70 or or higher range and this guy's only 59 so I should
hopefully be able to even use it in the mornings when it might be a little kind
of looked down upon to use it but we'll see
so it's unbox this guy
this thing uses the 40 volt lithium-ion battery instructions pretty small
doesn't have a built in fan with it like a lot of chargers do here it is a little
bit heavier than most of the cordless battery powered leaf blowers but it's
got a pretty nice ergonomic design to the handle so it's adjustable so you
want to be pointing more down at the ground you have it there pretty easy to
hold just like that or you want to be a little bit more parallel to the ground
just twist this guy, this nob put a little bit closer and there's a little more
parallel, so I doubt the battery has a whole lot of charge in it probably
supposed to charge it before or you use it for the first time but we'll see it
might have a little bit
this battery lot bigger than those little 18 volt push it in, perfect
this guy on, it should just snap in with this little clip awesome all righty
this thing even has a little turbo button on it so I think the 550 CFM is
only when the turbo button is is pressed on and that's where I'm sure it'll drain
the battery quite a bit quicker but let's see how good this thing works
so let's go ahead and check out how much it actually is, so this isn't a true
reading because there's a bunch of ambient noise so but they say it's gonna
supposed to only be 59 decibels so let's check it out
so I wanted to see how loud this leaf blower was at various distances so I
marked off with a measuring tape 10 20 30 40 and 50 feet with pieces of paper
and set up a decimal reader on an old iPhone to see how loud it was at these
various markings
so as you can see at 50 feet it's only at about 60 decibels so that makes me
almost comfortable enough to be able to use this before I go to work around 7:45
to 8 a.m. in the morning without disturbing my neighbors too much
all right so I've used this blower now for pretty much right at a month and
overall I really love it it blows great it's a it's a lot way stronger than the
old one that I used to have and it's always lasted me as long as it needs to
so the battery I haven't measured exactly but probably
lasts about 30 minutes but that's you know don't quote me on that
it always lasts long enough so I usually blow everything off a couple times
before I have to charge it again the only thing that is a tiny remaining
minor point is sometimes the button gets to talk a little bit so I might be able
to demonstrate it so we're not just barely home okay so fortunately it's not
doing it right now but sometimes I'll I'll hold it and then I let go and it's
still on so all you do is just touch it tap it it fixes itself but that's the
only concern that I have with it overall it's a amazing blower and I recommend
purchasing it, until next time
