A leaf blower is an indispensable tool for many homeowners and one of the primary reasons to own one is for leaf removal, especially during fall. You can rake leaves by hand, sure, but a leaf blower is a faster, more efficient way to clean up your yard. And with the leaves getting ready to drop, Amazon is offering this Greenworks 80-Volt Cordless Electric Leaf Blower for 28 percent off, bringing the price down to $194 from $270.

The model is capable enough to earn a spot in our ranking of the best cordless leaf blowers, with Test Editors Roy Berendsohn and Bradley Ford calling it “light but powerful.” Their testing revealed the leaf blower’s narrow, more focused air stream—credit to the tapered tube for this—cleared leaves from a designated area quickly. And the run time was comparable to other models. The good news is, if you already own a battery from Greenworks’s 80V catalog, it will work with this leaf blower. (In any case, your purchase comes with a 2.5 amp-hour battery and charger.)
The 80-Volt Cordless Leaf Blower offers an air speed of 145 miles per hour and a volume of 580 cubic feet per minute—enough to tackle small- to medium-size yards. It also provides features like a variable speed trigger, allowing you to fine tune the airflow by adjusting the pressure you apply to the trigger. This can come in handy when clearing leaves from different parts of your yard. For example, a lower speed is helpful around flower beds, ensuring you don’t damage your plants. A more powerful airflow is useful when wooshing a large pile of leaves from a walkway or driveway.
There’s also a cruise control feature, which helps provide a consistent airflow and reduce hand fatigue. Simply pull the trigger to start the leaf blower, then turn the lever on the handle until you reach your desired airflow. Once you’ve got it where you want it, the lever will keep the airflow set so all you have to do is aim. As someone who frequently uses a leaf blower to clear leaves and other foliage from my property, I appreciate the strain a cruise control feature saves my hands and wrists.
Cleaning your patio or yard is rarely fun. With a leaf blower, you can make the task a lot easier, leaving more time for you to enjoy the cooler weather with your outdoor pizza oven.
