I just bought this for $179 and unfortunately need to return it. I'm in pretty good shape and was getting forearm fatigue after 5+ mins of consistent use and that was only with a 2.5AH battery. I also realized I'd need to charge it 6 times to do my property. It's a great machine, but would say it is for pretty small yards if you are trying to do a spring cleanup etc. If just the occasional dusting could probably get away with this on a medium yard using on low.

This is a decent blower for small jobs. I bought for my older parents to blow out their garage, clean off walkway, patios, and driveway. I would not recommend for bigger leaf jobs unless you have a small yard.

I found the battery makes the difference in these; the 5amp makes even older much less rated models run stronger. 2.5 amp too small...

I own the 765CFM model and it is a beast! They have a newer, more powerful unit as well, but the 765CFM does the job for me. I actually own 2 of them and get my yard done in no time at all with dual blowers. Only issue is, they are a bit heavy if you don't use the shoulder strap to help with the weight. If you don't have one, there are compatible aftermarket ones available on Amazon to help with the weight.

They do make shoulder straps for these. You can go with the EGO branded ones or you can get aftermarket straps on Amazon, compatible with EGO.
Aftermarket: https://www.amazon.com/Ohoho-AP53...B09B1HTWPT
Ego Brand: https://www.lowes.com/pd/EGO-POWE...1003257034 or Amazon only has third-party sellers, so no link, since no Prime shipping.

This product definitely needs the straps, too bad it's not included.The center of gravity is a bit forward, so if you try to just use it one handed, your wrist will start to feel it pretty quickly.
