Another price drop!

Home Depot doesn't even list them on their website anymore, but there was another price drop and I managed to scoop one up for $239 here in Minnesota! The HD in "the quarry) had 10 more. Blower, 7.5 AH battery and charger...

They also had the 2.5 AH batteries for $79.

One person commented yesterday that their HD had dropped the price to $199. Wonder if that is across the board?

Darn... was tempted to get this just for the battery and the rapid charger would have been enough to convince me. Not sure why Ego doesnt make the blower itself a rapid charger

There's a store "near" me (90 miles away) that BS claims has 11 on hand. Tried calling and using the automated price checker, but it couldn't find the item with the "internet number". Any other way for me to check the price without talking to a human? Smilie

With 11 on hand, I dont see much risk in talking to a human

Most of the stores around here sold out at $299...so $199 would have been very slick. I do believe the prices are based on the economic area of the store and how many they have on hand.

I am very happy at $239 as the battery alone is worth $350+...

Same for me. Great deal on the battery itself since it is the newest generation.

Brickseek is incorrect. I went to the store and it was the one without the battery on clearance. Tool only is going for $119

Be careful, I was at the Detroit Home Depot that showed limited quantity. I was at checkout and out of curiosity checked inside the box since it wasn't sealed. The battery inside was not a 7.5ah. Someone replaced it with a 2.5ah. I returned it back in the self and walked away without buying.
