Thanks OP! I placed an order last night and saw that mine is ready for pickup this morning. I wish I had the $79 with a battery like on the first page but I already have a couple of spare batteries so this should work nicely. I have an 80v Kobalt brushless that works good but it takes the old style batteries and I have to share with my mower, so this will be a good backup and I can maybe use it to blow out my garage when I make a mess.

Quote from StuffMart :
This is the 18V version. If you just have some light work to do, it's fine. If you want to do anything like a full driveway, deck, patio, walks etc., you might be much better off with the 36V two battery model. I have patiently waited for deals on a couple of those at a little over $100 in the Amazon warehouse. Better yet, sometimes the deals with the 5Ah batteries come up. The 36v blower is a beast but even that one goes through batteries like nobody's business. But at least it does the job like a real blower
I have this exact blower and I could do my 56 foot driveway with no issue. Big oak tree in the backyard would create lots of leaves on the driveway and I would blow them off about twice a week in the winter. During the summer I could easily cut and trim the lawn and then blow anything that got in the street, driveway, or beds back into the yard with ease. One thing to note about this blower is the tone. It's hard to describe, but the noise it makes is not a shriek like most battery powered blowers. Has a deeper tone almost like a vacuum. It's much easier on the ears for people that may be outside when you are working.

Did you get a pick-up notification email or did you just go to the store? I got a cancellation email 14min after my order confirmation.

This is the single battery 18v version. You will be lucky to get 5 mins at full throttle. Get the 36v two bTt version. I use it everyday at work. Even with 2 batts 15 mins of full power is what I get.

I was able to get one at a TSC about 40 miles away, it was out of stock anywhere closer. I asked my Home Depot to match prices but they declined and I didn't push it. I pretty sure they broke their own price match policy. Thanks to the OP!!!

Thanks OP found one near me.

I suppose the batteries from the below linked pack should work with this. Can someone correct me if it's not true.

That's not true at all. I just used it at full throttle for 20 min yesterday and still have 3/4 bars on the 5ah battery.

My Man!

I am bad about using a gas blower instead of a broom in my shop... with this cordless one I'll probably use it in the house like Bill Murray in Caddyshack.

Can someone please confirm that the BATTERY for this thing alone is like $140 on Amazon? Is that real life?

Is there any way to get a generic battery for less $ or is that where they get you, by selling the tool at a cheaper sale price and then charging a 3x fee for the battery required to operate it?
