I'm expecting a whole bunch of thumbs downs on this one, only for the true Milwaukee fanboys/girls. The new M18 dual battery blower is in stock at most locations, you can get it for $30 off at Northern Tool by using code 280885 Not a slick deal at all, but it's a new blower and it's Milwaukee, and it's not full price so....

Also, you might need to ship to store to get free shipping.

Nice deal. I may use the code for the air compressor as that doesn't go on sale often.

Side note - I believe all Milwaukee ships for free through northern tool as they, along with most others, are drop shipping many of their Milwaukee items.

Thanks for posting.

This blower is kind of a joke to me. For 60 or 70 dollars more, you can get an Ego blower that is almost 50 percent more powerful, with a 5 ah 56 volt battery, and charger. The battery is like 30 percent bigger than Milwaukee's biggest 18 volt battery, too. That is a no brainer to me, in comparison.

I have the fuel gen 2 single battery m18 blower and it replaced my gas hitachi. Of course it isn't as powerful but it's powerful enough to move leaves, pine needles, clippings, etc. works great for blowing powder snow off of cars. starts every time, no mixing oil and gas.

I have the air compressor as well it's nice and quiet except for the loud blow off valve. I use it for airing up truck tires and blowing out computers, fridge coil, etc. I recently got the m18 inflator so that will replace compressor for tires. I really don't need the compressor but it's nice to have and I got a good deal from a Home Depot bundle last November.

As a milwaukee fan boy, I have to say that I've been pretty disappointed in their outdoor power tool lineup.

Yeah. I wanted to be able to go with a carpentry ecosystem for my outdoor tools, but everything paled in comparison to Ego. I bit the bullet, and made the investment in a separate outdoor ecosystem, because it's just too much better in performance than everything else.

I also usually find local, second hand deals, to get amazing deals on batteries.

milwaukee is stuck on 18v and 12v batteries. Which were fine for drills. But the world has moved on.

For most of the residential general population their outdoor power equipment exceeds their needs. I haven't used the mower but I've used almost everything else and it's great. So for those already in the ecosystem it makes perfect sense to choose Milwaukee. For commercial use, huge yards, heavy blower needs, etc it makes sense to choose a different brand. Ego is great. I have their mower, snowblower, and power station. If Milwaukee had OPE with their MX Fuel batteries it would compete with Ego.

Do you have the single stage or two stage snowblower? I haven't heard the best things about the single stage. I ended up just getting a gas snowblower. It was insanely cheap for how powerful and awesome it is.

I have the two stage. No complaints from me on it. It is a bit pricey though.

Milwaukees OPE is specifically marketed towards professionals not your average home owner. Their prices also reflect that. See the $1100 milwauke push mower. As someone that bought into electric OPE before milwaukee had a full lineup, there is almost zero incentive to switch. I'd pay far, far more money than my current equipment and in some cases get worse performance. When milwaukee OPE hits their 40 percent off sales like their power tools often do, then their OPE will become more cooperative. But I can't bring myself to get rid of my ego mower that works just fine and pay 3 times more for a red one.

This M18 blower is now competitive w/ the top offerings from EGO performance wise at 600CFM and 145MPH+ but is a hard sell at this price. I bought the FUEL trimmer (and older FUEL blower) on deep discount sales and the trimmer is amazing. I have other electric & gas blowers that don't get used b/c I'm in the Milwaukee ecosystem and have plenty of batteries for the blower and the performance is adequate for my needs. I'll be waiting for a ~$100 sale on one of these before getting one.

Voltage is only part of the puzzle. Overall wattage and heat removal are equally important. I still consider Milwaukee the gold standard for tradesmen
