Received this battery powered blower for Christmas, so initially have used it for blowing snow from shrubs and sidewalks when it’s not to wet or deep. I can also use it to blow off my garage floor, which I couldn’t do with my gas blower due to the smoke that would set off my smoke alarm.It is light, has good air volume and battery life. I will post an update after I have used it for lawn and garden work this spring and summer. I have several other Milwaukee tools and they hav all served me well. I would recommend to others.UPDATED REPORTAfter using this blower for 1 1/2 years, I appreciate it even more now. Works well for any type of blower cleanups. With two blowing speeds, it performs well inside and out. On high speed, it uses more battery power, but I recommend you have a second battery available. Batteries recharge in 20-30 minutes.I still give this blower a five star rating!
