Does anyone have actual experience with this blower and the non-DigiPro 40V model for 1/3 the cost? If so, could you share pros and cons please?

I bought it knowing that it might not be powerful enough for me, but gave it a shot anyways since it was relatively cheap. It is great for blowing off the driveway and sidewalks after mowing, or blowing out random leaves and such from the garage. I would recommend getting the DigiPro model if you are wanting to use it for anything more than that. It is pretty useless if I try to use it in the fall to blow leaves in the yard.Pros:- Quite cheap if you already have a battery from other tools- Very quietCons:- Not really powerful enough to blow leaves through grass I bought it knowing that it might not be powerful enough for me, but gave it a shot anyways since it was relatively cheap.

I have the digipro with the 4 amp hour battery. I think it's great it actually blows like a real blower. Not having to deal with a gas engine or extension cord is great. I also bought the 14 inch digipro chainsaw(which I also like a lot) so now I have two batteries. On full high the blower lasts close to 30 minutes which is plenty. Plus the lithium ion battery holds a charge well. I don't have experience with the lower cost one, but I think the digipro is more than worth the extra money.

I have the 4ov digi pro gmax, like it, but wish it would last longer on a single battery charge when used on high, only about 15 to 20 minutes, good to have an extra battery ready

If you have more than a few leaves it does not work, I returned mine and use a corded blower.

No blower, do not think this model has a blower option. There are types with blowers yet they are much more expensive. Clearance requirements are stateed in the description, please see the complete description.

10 the blower is fantastic for blowing leafs off our deck and around landscaping . It is light weight which makes it easy for anyone to use. My. Mom is 91 years old In good health. We liked ours so well because it's like 2 lbs we got her one. She loves it Just plug it in to charge and your ready to go. Last about an hr and a half . Excellent purchase

I have then BT and find it an adequate machine for blowing. My issue is, there is not a good place to hole the machine while starting, and would prefer the throttle would be mounted on the blower, rather then the blower tube.

Just curious, where did you get the idea that it uses batteries? If you look at the details on the blower you will see that it is powered by 120vac (you have to plug it in using your own extension cord). No batteries needed.

Love mine! I use it to clear the sidewalk after mowing and getting leaves off the deck. It's not great for piles of leaves though not enough power. I have the weed eater and the blower and batteries are interchangeable. For lots of leaves you need a more powerful blower.

Don't know, but you might find this useful in deciding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5iP4tVrqyE this video is what sold me on the unit. BTW, avoid the blower from greenworks. It sucks compared to my electric. Good luck.

Hello again, David. I did some research into this item and the specification sheet does NOT list a blower. I assume this means it does not come with one. If you need any further assistanc, please do not hesitate to contact us or visit us on our website. Kind Regards, andrea - indeHomes

12amp, two speed. This is a very powerful blower. My brother borrowed this blower from me and was amazed of the power. It also converts to a leaf shredder and converts to about seven bags to one bag. I recommend this product to everyone. Well worth the money. I purchased in May of 2012 and it is as if I just purchased. My reviews are based on quality and performance. If you are looking for something of such, purchase this product. You will not be disappointed!!!!VERY POWERFUL..... Hope this helps in your decision!!! Sorry I forgot to answer your original question regarding the CFM)specs. The CFM-390 and the MPH-230. You also can watch YOU TUBE video to show you how to convert to leaf shredder as well. 12amp, two speed. This is a very powerful blower.

I own the Toro 51609 and it does a fantastic job of vacuuming up piles of leaves. The metal impeller is much sturdier and will last years longer than a plastic impeller. You will suck up pebbles and twigs with your device and they will destroy the plastic impeller. These are issues that you will have to deal with eventually and I want people to be well informed before they make a purchase.

I believe it is rated at 140 on high setting, which is the highest mph I have seen on a cordless blower. It is more than adequate for light leaf removal from walks and driveways, though again it does not compare to my big corded blower which can top 200 mph. It's great appeal is ease of use - no long cord to unwind/wind or gas/oil to mess with, plus it is much quieter than the more powerful blowers. Ideally it should be your second blower, not your primary, where I recommend the Craftsman (Sears) corded models.

I bought a refurb leaf vac/blower from them a year ago. I couldn't fine a thing wrong with it. Looking at a line trimmer now. At almost 50% off I feel you can't go wrong

G'Day Fernando, Sorry I did not get back to you earlier, but I was a little ill, fine now though. I have been using this with a Black and Decker blower vac. Since this is part of the range of tools that use this battery, I would not see a problem. If you have a look on Black and decker's website ( http://www.blackanddecker.com/products/lawn-and-garden/lawn/40v-max/40v-max-lithium-12-in-chainsaw/lcs1240 ), it shows the chainsaw on the bottom and the blower vac to it's left, all working off the same battery. The extra battery I bought through Amazon is still working very well and holding charge for about as long as the original battery. I use the blower vac several times per week to clean up all the blown leaves at the back door and patio area, so I have gotten good use out of it. Having 2 also means I can fully use one battery, then fully charge it as I use the other. They recommend that the batteries are fully charged before storage, so this works out well. Whether you are buying it as the only one or as a spare, I would recommend this for this chainsaw (after checking out the above website). Hope this answers your question.

I have/had 3 of these blowers in the last 5 years. (Lost one to theft.) They work GREAT for moving a large volume of air and I routinely use one of them for weeks (all summer?) on the high setting. I placed it next to an air vent on our second floor, in a room that is a bit short on moving the a/c (on high) to suck out the a/c and move it rapidly through the room. Makes a huge difference in keeping that room comfortable. Hope this helps. Scott H.

The model I purchased, via Amazon (CS3311) lasted approx a year. The heater and blower (fan) failed. I contacted the company, explained the situation. They shipped me. at NO COST, a complete heater/blower assembly. I cannot complain. Their compliance makes me wonder about the reliability of their products. Hope this helps you.

I have a used one for sale with one used battery and one used one. I will also include the blower(used) along with the hedge trimmer(new). My yard is too big for this cordless to handle. I have to stick with the gas ones. Reply to this post and I will get in touch with you.
