Quick verdict
The Greenworks 60V blower is the best all-round pick. Its brushless motor delivers 610 CFM and 130 MPH with a concentrator, up to 50 minutes of runtime on the included 2.5Ah battery, and it shares batteries across the wide 60V tool lineup.
Greenworks 60V
This 60V blower pairs a brushless motor with 610 CFM airflow and a concentrator nozzle that reaches 130 MPH in turbo, enough for wet leaves, heavy debris, and gravel. Greenworks rates it at up to 50 minutes of runtime on the included 2.5Ah battery with a rapid charger, and it starts instantly with no priming or pull cords. It shares batteries across 75-plus Greenworks 60V tools.
The best Greenworks leaf blower for your yard, compared by CFM, speed, and battery. Find the right 40V, 60V, or 80V Greenworks model for your property size.
Why you should trust this guide
Greenworks sells leaf blowers across three separate battery platforms, 40V, 60V, and 80V, and the packs do not cross between them. That makes platform choice the single most important decision, more than any single airflow number, and it is where buyers most often go wrong. I built this guide to sort the lineup by platform first and then by power, so you end up with a blower that fits both your yard and any Greenworks batteries you already own.
I have not run each of these Greenworks blowers across a season, so I compare them on the manufacturer’s published figures rather than claiming test results I do not have. Because the tools within each platform share batteries with mowers, trimmers, and more, the practical question is how much airflow you actually need and which platform makes sense for your broader tool collection. The picks above lay that out honestly, including where two 80V models overlap.
How we evaluated
My first criterion was platform and battery fit. Since 40V, 60V, and 80V Greenworks batteries are not interchangeable, I grouped the blowers by platform and noted which include a battery and which are bare tools. For anyone already in the Greenworks ecosystem, matching the platform is the fastest way to save money.
The second criterion was airflow versus runtime. I compared CFM and MPH to gauge clearing power, then weighed the stated runtime and included battery size, since higher power draws packs down faster. I also noted noise ratings and handling features like cruise control, all of which are verifiable from the listings.
What to look for
- Battery platform: 40V, 60V, and 80V packs do not interchange, so choose the platform that fits your other tools.
- CFM for your yard: Airflow ranges from 135 on the sweeper up to 730 CFM on the top 80V unit.
- MPH for wet leaves: Higher airspeed, up to 170 MPH here, lifts matted and stuck-down leaves.
- Runtime and battery size: Included packs range from 2.0Ah to 4.0Ah, and higher power shortens runtime.
- Kit or bare tool: Some models include a battery and charger; the second 80V unit is tool only.
- Noise level: Ratings of 74 to 78 dB matter in noise-sensitive neighborhoods.
- Handling: Cruise control and a variable trigger reduce fatigue on longer sessions.
How we test
We base every pick on real-world use, published manufacturer specifications and verified owner feedback. We compare the tools on the things that actually matter for your lawn, power, runtime, cut quality, build and value, and we never accept payment for a ranking. When we have not used a specific model first-hand, we say so.

What to look for
Choose the right platform
Greenworks 40V, 60V, and 80V batteries are not interchangeable, so the platform decision outweighs any single spec. If you already own Greenworks tools, match that platform; if starting fresh, pick the voltage that suits your yard size and future tool plans.
Match CFM to your property
The 135 CFM sweeper is for patios and decks, the 550 to 610 CFM models suit most home yards, and the 700 to 730 CFM 80V units are for large lots and wet leaves. Buying more airflow than you need adds weight and cost.
Runtime versus power
Included batteries range from 2.0Ah to 4.0Ah, and the higher-output blowers draw them down faster. Greenworks lists figures like 20 to 50 minutes depending on model, so plan for a spare battery on big jobs.
Kit or bare tool
Most of these blowers include a battery and charger, but the second 80V model is sold bare. If you already own 80V packs a bare tool is cheaper; otherwise a kit lets you use it right out of the box.
Noise and gas-free convenience
All of these skip gas, fumes, and pull cords, starting instantly with a trigger. Greenworks rates the 80V unit at 74 dB and the 40V at 78 dB, which is quieter than gas and helpful in close neighborhoods.
Our verdict
The Greenworks 60V blower is the best all-round pick. Its brushless motor delivers 610 CFM and 130 MPH with a concentrator, up to 50 minutes of runtime on the included 2.5Ah battery, and it shares batteries across the wide 60V tool lineup.
FAQs
The 60V model is the best all-round pick. It delivers 610 CFM and 130 MPH, offers up to 50 minutes of runtime on its included 2.5Ah battery, and runs on the widely supported 60V platform, covering most home yards without over-buying.
No. Each platform uses its own batteries that do not cross over. That makes platform choice the most important decision, so pick the voltage that matches any Greenworks tools you already own or plan to buy.
Only for large properties or heavy, wet leaves. The 80V models hit 700 to 730 CFM and 170 MPH for the toughest jobs, but they cost more and draw batteries down faster than the 40V and 60V units most yards need.
It varies by model and battery, from about 20 minutes on the 40V unit to up to 50 minutes on the 60V with its 2.5Ah pack. Running turbo to move wet leaves shortens those figures, so budget for a spare battery.
It is best for light duty. At 135 CFM the 40V sweeper clears patios, decks, and light snow, but it does not move enough volume for large leaf piles. For serious leaf clearing choose the 550 CFM or higher models.
