The price keeps going up and down on this. I'd put it in your cart and just wait to see if it goes back down to $230. I think the better deal is the bundle with the extra 2.5 Ah battery for $300. it doesn't have the life of the 5 Ah but makes it much lighter.
I'll give you the real Slick Deal. Buy the 299.99 Bundle with the 2.5 battery, then return it. I got a $102 credit for the 2.5A battery at Amazon, making the whole thing $198 + tax.
Got this for around $215 after tax a couple weeks ago (including the extra battery). Gotta say, this blower is quite nice. Been able to get those leaves stuck under the St. Augustine grass after fall/winter, which my last blower couldn't really do with any efficiency so it left me to raking. This cut down on my back and muscles aches and tons of time with the raking. Easily blows off the driveway, about 2-3x better than my last Black n Decker blower (cheap).
One thing I will say is this thing is heavy. I think around 9-10lbs with the battery, plus the force that comes out of this thing, it can be quite tiring. Due to the force, it does make jobs faster so give and take.
Overall, extremely happy with this blower. The trigger is a variable speed based on how much you press the trigger, there is an auto trigger so you don't have to be squeezing the whole time. The turbo mode is insane and have only had to use it on certain areas with the leaves stuck in the dirt under the grass. Turbo mode also let's me not have to move much when doing the driveway bc it will push leaves and sticks from quite a distance.

Don't just say you got it for $215 and leave everyone hanging! Where did you get it for that price?
I own this EGO blower and it is not really well balanced in the hand when using it. My DeWalt blower was much more comfortable, although it does not have as much velocity. The EGO does take some effort to use.

Try blowing sans nozzle...this is so powerful that pushback from nozzle can be a pain.

Thank you for this tip. I just ordered.

Does anyone have long term experience with the performance and longevity of the Ego batteries they could share?
