Are there any decent battery powered leaf blowers?

I have a Toro Corded leaf blower, very powerful but it's of an old design. Imagine if they combined the corded power with this greenworks model I posted above, that thing would probably move bricks if it had 12amps 120V of electricity running through it!

A few of these lined up in a row will do the job quick!

I imagine no. Even the expensive dyson vacuum cleaner that is battery powered seems quite limited. A dust blower needs huge amounts of watts to blow air at a decent rate.

I have a corded blower that does a good job, but it's a pain in the ass. I would not buy a corded blower, lawn mower, or trimmer ever again.

This thread has been necroed twice. That's gotta be a new record for leaf blower talk.

Don't waste time with cordless yard tools. They all universally suck from my experiences. Corded or bust. The gas powered ones are good too but require extra maintenance. Best suited for big jobs.

Old thread. Spam post from last night deleted.

The Greenworks is actually quite good for a battery powered leaf blower. It's about the equivalent of a 30cc leaf blower!

Ego? I like my Ego mower, the blower has some good reviews. 56V.

I'm also reading some great things about Dewalt's new line of garden tools. 120mph and 400CFM places their blower on the lower range of gas engine blowers. It's an eventuality that battery-operated tools replace gas.

I have the old 24 volt lead acid lawn mover from Greenworks. It gets the job done quite fine for my small yard. It actually mulches better than my old gas powered Toro. The new Greenworks lawn mowers are 48 volt lithium ion, so I imagine they're a lot better.
