but its way heavy
I have a gravel driveway and was planning to buy their 2-stage snow blower later this year which can be purchased with 2x 7.5 Ah batteries or w/no batteries. So I was kind of thinking of buying the backpack model (on sale for $380 at Lowes w/7.5 Ah battery) and then getting the 2-stage snow blower without the batteries, to save money (it seems like it's $500 more to get it with the 2x 7.5Ah batteries).
But now I'm also wondering if I would be better off getting two of these 2.5 Ah handheld leaf blowers and getting my wife to help me, at less than half the price of the backpack leaf blower.

I have both backpack blowers original model and revised model bp blower. I feel the newer model is cool since has adjustable throttle cruise control style grip but older model seems to blow better? But ill most always use the small hand-held ego blower everyday. Ps i have the end nozzle attachment and well its not worth getting for it imho. Funny how original bp blower seems work better just like my ego metal shaft weedeater seems lighter and more tq than my carbon fiber ego trimmer lol. Have the new mower ,14inch chainsaw and edger. Love ego line ps dont advise use the fast charger as it depletes battery life longevity.
I get it is almost always better to bundle stuff, but I've been eyeing ego tools for awhile and always seems like a bundling game ... might as well get the blower just for battery, might as well bundle the multihead with the pole saw even if you already have the multihead, as the price diff is so small...
multihead + pole saw + charger + battery bundle = $350
multihead + pole saw only = $179
blower + charger + battery = $159
multihead + hedge trimmer + charger + battery = $400
hedge trimmer only = $179
pole saw only = $155
multihead only = $150
2.5 ah battery only = $150
charger = $80
Multi-head + Edger for $129! on Amazon
Multi-head + Edger for $129! on Amazon
FWIW, I bought the hedge trimmer but was contemplating going down the road of the multi-head but I have a Stihl multi-head (gas) and it can sometimes feel unwieldy and out-of-balance, and I think that's the downside to the multi-head systems, whereas dedicated tools *ought* to be better balanced/sized. But I'm no expert on this, so feel free to enlighten me. Also, the batteries being so heavy will likely cause a lot of these tools (multi-head or otherwise) to probably not feel as perfectly balanced as they ideally would be, and using different sized batteries will surely alter that a lot.
Having said all of that, I could still see myself getting the multi-head at some point, if only to get access to some of the tools that are only available via the multi-head.

So, just to clarify, you've got two backpack blowers plus the handheld that this thread is about, and you utilize the handheld a lot more (presumably for blowing around grass clippings?). But when Fall comes and there are a lot of leaves to blow around, what would the ideal EGO blower be? Or, as I suggested in my prior post about this, would I be happiest having a couple of handheld units (possibly two different models), or maybe one backpack model and a handheld unit, so that I could divide-and-conquer with my wife helping out? And to ask part of my question yet another way, if you could do it again and money was no object, would you choose this handheld (LB5300) over one of their other handheld units (LB5750, LB5800, LB6500) and, if so, why?
I should also add that my yard is actually quite small, but I still have a lot of last Fall's leaves embedded in ground cover plantings, so I need a blower that will be good as getting as much of those leaves out of there during our Spring cleanup (the rake just gets caught on the ground cover plants).
Edit: Well I can probably answer some of my own questions, now that I've taken a few minutes to look at the owners manuals for the backpack blower (LB6000), the LB5300 (which this thread is focused on), and the high-power LB6500 ($300 at Lowes w/5.0 Ah battery not on sale). So the backpack blower is definitely not looking as appealing to me, as both the MPH and CFM numbers are middling (600 CFM on boost mode, 145 MPH max). The LB6500 has the best numbers (650 CFM, 160-180 MPH, depending on if you use the tapered nozzle which comes with it). The LB5300 is 530 CFM and 110 MPH max. The LB6500 is actually slightly lighter than the LB5300 (4.77 lbs vs 4.81 lbs with no battery). The backpack model is 12.5 lbs with no battery.
Note that the LB5300 comes with the 2.5 Ah LB1400 battery (2.77 lbs) with *no* charge indicator on the battery, and the LB6500 comes with the 5.0 Ah LB2800T (4.96 lbs) which *does* have the charge indicator on the battery. Both come with the CH2100 standard charger.
So, obviously, using the LB6500 with its bundled 5.0 Ah battery is going to weigh in noticeably more than the LB5300 with *its* bundled 2.5 Ah battery (9.73 lbs vs 7.58 lbs).
So now I'm still not certain what to do.
I'm tempted to buy both the LB5300 and the LB6500 to compare how well they do at blowing the leaves out of my flower beds. And I may end up keeping both so that my wife can help me.
I may also investigate the backpack add-on that lets you plug in a "dummy" battery to the handheld blowers and shift the weight of the battery to your back. Right now, there are only a handful of reviews for that on Amazon, with a couple of people having significant complaints.

In my case, I actually might have use for an edger this year or next, but I suspect I'd *only* have use for it the one or two times and never again. I *would* like to get a string trimmer (even though I still have a B&D battery-powered trimmer and my gas Stihl multi-tool/trimmer, so it's not like I *need* one right away), but that still leaves me wondering if I pay a bit more for the multi-tool/trimmer vs the standalone string trimmer. I just don't know if I'll ever find myself needing/wanting (at least not often) most of those multi-tools. Ugh.

I've been using ego as semi pro, the string trimmer changed my edging style. I used to walk backward with Stihl but now walk forward with reverse spin on Ego. Won't cut as deep or clean but it's way faster.
