This is a good battery-powered blower. Balances well, easy to use trigger, and not too loud. Not quite as powerful as my 12-amp corded blower but not lacking in power either. No problem clearing wet leaves off of driveway and blowing them a few feet onto the lawn.Don't expect to be able to do your fall clean-up with this or any battery-powered blower. That's not what they are for. A 5Ah battery lasts for 10-15 minutes on full-power. Plenty enough to blow off the driveway, walks, landings, sidewalk, etc. Also very convenient for getting into the garden and other hard to reach places. Great for blowing off deck, pool apron and patio, and clearing dirt, dust, and leaves from the garage. Also plenty of power to clean your gutters, without dragging a cord behind you.If you have a small property then this (possibly with a spare battery handy) is all you need. And even if you already have a corded blower or a backpack gas-powered blower, this Dewalt is so much handier you will find yourself using it a lot.If you already have Dewalt tools and batteries (I did) this is practically a no-brainer. And if you are buying into a tool ecosystem, Dewalt brushless is a good platform.
