Head-to-Head Breakdown
Strengths & Weaknesses
EGO Power+ 56V 880 CFM Blower
- 25 Newtons of nozzle force, the highest of any mainstream-priced handheld blower (Doresoom Tool Reviews scale test)
- Kit includes two 4Ah batteries worth $250 alone, so you charge one while using the other (Doresoom Tool Reviews)
- Cleared 4-inch pea gravel, wet matted leaves, snowplow rocks, and standing lake water in real-world testing (Torque & Twisted)
- Padded shoulder strap and balanced weight distribution prevent fatigue during extended sessions (Torque & Twisted)
- Digital cruise control is frustrating to operate with your thumb while gripping a vibrating blower (Doresoom Tool Reviews)
- Turbo mode drains a 5Ah battery in 12.4 minutes flat (Torque & Twisted, Doresoom Tool Reviews)
- Less efficient on low speeds than older, cheaper EGO blower models (Doresoom Tool Reviews)
Greenworks Pro 60V 780 CFM Blower
- 780 CFM and 200 MPH clears thick grass clumps, standing water, and heavy soil from driveways (Tool Review Zone)
- Complete kit at $300 saves $140 over the EGO and $50 over the Ryobi 40V Whisper (Tool Review Zone)
- Single-battery design with comfortable weight distribution and balanced feel (Tool Review Zone)
- 60V platform shares batteries with Greenworks mowers, trimmers, and chainsaws
- At 17.4 lbs with battery, nearly double the weight of the EGO (Tool Review Zone)

- Side air intake vents suction against your pant leg while working (Tool Review Zone)
The Verdict
Our Bottom Line
Doresoom Tool Reviews measured 25 Newtons of force from the EGO's nozzle. That is 5.5 lbs of thrust, enough that the blower launched itself across a garage floor during the scale test. Only the STIHL BGA 250 matched that output, and STIHL's kit costs $769.

Greenworks Pro 60V 780 CFM Blower
