I have the blue Kobalt version of this and I love it. Super powerful and never had an issue in 4 years of regular use. Does eat through a 2.5 battery in about 20-30 minutes of heavy use on turbo.

Compare this to a Milwaukee M18 XC6.0 battery at 6Ah.
6Ah at 18v is only 108 watt hours, basically that it can only do about half of the "work" as the Greenworks.
As an analogy, imagine you're very hungry. Your options nearby are a Wendy's or a White Castle. You can get 2.5 Dave's Triple burgers or 6 White Castle sliders.
Both will fill you up just fine, the only question is how many you have to eat to be full.
In summary, amp hours alone don't tell the full story. This battery is fine, I'm sure. Reviews say it'll power the leafblower for about ~15-20 minutes at full power.
