Full review
Longer notes from the same comments we summarized above.
What people reported
Owner comments about the Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM blower are limited. However, one direct comparison noted that the 730 CFM model seemed to perform better with a concentrator nozzle. In general, Greenworks Pro 80V tools are often praised for offering good power comparable to gas models while being lighter. Owners also appreciate the ease of battery replacements through Costco's 8-year warranty, with some reporting that new batteries are shipped out quickly without needing to return the old one first.
Problems people mention
A recurring concern among owners is negative experiences with Greenworks customer service. While not specific to the 730 CFM blower, other Greenworks 80V tools, particularly string trimmers, have received complaints about their string trimmer heads failing to advance line correctly. A similar Greenworks 80V 800 CFM blower was noted for tending to suck debris into its intake screen more easily than other models. Some general blower switch issues were also mentioned.
Where owners disagree
There isn't significant disagreement among owners, but some minor trade-offs appear in comparisons between Greenworks 80V blower models. One user preferred the 800 CFM model for its weight distribution and performance with an open nozzle, while finding the 730 CFM model better with a concentrator. This suggests that the ideal choice might depend on specific use cases and preferences for nozzle type and handling.
Who it's for
This blower is for individuals seeking a powerful, battery-operated leaf blower who are already invested in the Greenworks 80V system or considering it. It may appeal particularly to those who value a lighter tool compared to gas alternatives and can benefit from the extended battery warranty offered through retailers like Costco. Buyers should consider their need for a concentrator nozzle, as the 730 CFM model reportedly excels in that configuration.
