EGO LB7654 vs Greenworks 80V 730 CFM Blower: Two Big Handhelds for Fall Leaves

Where these two differ

Both are big handheld blowers that clear wet leaves. The EGO LB7654 is rated at 765 CFM and 200 MPH with a 5 Ah pack in the kit on the broadest battery yard platform. The Greenworks 80V 730 is rated at 730 CFM and 170 MPH, costs less and runs on packs that power a strong Greenworks mower. Airflow is close; price, pack and platform decide.

This comparison is based on the published specifications and manuals for both blowers and on recurring owner feedback. We have not run either blower ourselves.

Moving leaves

Both clear wet matted leaves, gravel beds and the fence-line pile in one pass. The EGO thirty extra MPH lifts stuck leaves a little better. Neither leaves a homeowner wanting.

Weight and handling

Both are heavy with a kit pack and both tire an arm after an hour. Both balance well with a round nozzle for lawns and a flat one for driveways.

Batteries and runtime

The EGO 5 Ah pack lasts a normal yard on medium. The Greenworks kit pack varies by kit and lasts a similar session with a 4 Ah pack. Both drain fast on turbo. EGO 56V runs blowers, trimmers, chainsaws, snow blowers and a riding mower; Greenworks 80V runs a mower, chainsaw, trimmer and snow blower.

Yard jobs this decides

A yard built on EGO: the LB7654. A budget yard built on Greenworks: the 730. Starting fresh: the EGO for platform depth, the Greenworks for price. The leaves do not separate them.

Warranty and support

On the EGO Power+, EGO covers tools with a five-year limited warranty and packs with three years. On the Greenworks 80V, Greenworks covers 80V tools with four years and packs with two. Both makers run service networks in the US and both honor the warranty only with proof of purchase, so keep the receipt with the manual. Registration takes a few minutes online and is worth doing the day the tool arrives.

Care and storage

Both are brushless battery tools and both last longest with the same habits: hose or brush debris off after each use, store packs indoors at partial charge through the winter rather than empty or full, and keep the machine out of direct sun in a shed. Neither needs oil changes, spark plugs or fuel stabilizer. A pack left at zero through a cold winter is the most common cause of a dead tool in spring on either platform.

Common owner complaints

EGO owners mention weight and turbo runtime. Greenworks owners mention noise and the smaller pack in some kits. Both are reliable.

Which one should you buy

Buy the LB7654 for a yard platform and a 5 Ah pack. Buy the Greenworks 80V 730 for the same job at a lower price.

Our verdict

The EGO LB7654 edges this comparison on pack, air speed and platform. The Greenworks 80V 730 CFM is the value pick.
