Good blower to go along with the rest of my Milwaukee tools that I have. The blower has good power at 450 CFM(CUBIC FEET PER MINUTE). It was able to blow debris and what not with ease. I use it generally for leaf blowing and keeping my driveway clean. Only downside to this tool is that the battery does go quick so be sure to either have a 9.0 or 12.0 on hand or multiple 5.0 batteries if you do not have the first 2. Generally the 9.0 battery will last about 15 to 20 min on the high setting of the blower, probably longer if using the lower setting. The 5.0 battery lasted 7 to 10 minutes if I remember correctly. Batteries are a crucial necessity when using this tool. I say crucial because unlike other Milwaukee tools this tool is on constantly and will eat up batteries quick.

The blower is okay and has decent power for mild duty, for small well maintained lots and small driveways that may have light and dry debris. The weight is fairly light and is fairly easy to handle. I have large hands and the lock switch to keep the blower on is easily released and could force you to squeeze the trigger manually during the entire time of operation. The 5.ah battery runs down fairly fast if you select the high or fast mode.

I was blown away at how fast it started and how much force. I knew it was 450cfm, but I was unaware of how that would translate real world, since previous experience with battery powered blowers were ones rated at 220-300 cfm. This little beast immediately amazed me. The sound isn’t quite as loud as my other blowers, and the pitch of the sound is higher than any other blower I’ve used. Even with a 5 amp battery, the unit is light weight and very easy to handle. Appreciate the small size as well.

A brief test after delivery indicates a quality product at a very fair price. Powerful at high speed, although noisy (I recommend ear protection). Seems well-balanced (tested with 8.0 high output XC battery). Superior to the corded model I own; however, the true test will be to judge the run time on different batteries (high AmpHour will be a must). Definitely another quality Milwaukee product and, for me, a nice addition to Milwaukee tools I have, especially since I have Milwaukee batteries. The high Cubic Feet per Minutes (CFM) air movement is the differentiating factor for this model. This is the best battery powered leaf blower I have owned (compared to Black & Decker).

This blower is by far one of the best electric/battery powered blowers I’ve ever owned. It’s very powerful, it last a long time (I have a 9.0 HD battery) and it’s so lightweight and Maintenance free!! You can’t beat that, the battery only takes a little over an hour to fully charge. Milwaukee is just an awesome brand, I have all their powertools, I bought a Milwaukee quick lock trimmer with this blower that’s just as awesome. I recommend this to ones who question it. I’m not the type of person to leave a review unless it’s worth my time. If you got this far in reading, just “Buy It Now” 👍 you won’t regret it !

Well balanced and has a great deal of power for an electric blower. This unit had as much power as our gas powered leaf blower. The wife is happy as no more struggling with attempting to start gas powered blower and chasing me down to start it for her. I am very happy so far with the Milwaukee M18 leaf blower, I did purchase a M18 12.0 battery that has plenty of battery life. I’ve used it to clean driveway and sidewalk from 1” or 2” of snow. Worked great blowing sand and dirt off our garage floor from the winter sand brought inside.

Fantastic blower! Powerful and the variable speed trigger that goes from barely any air to full blast means you can really control debris into a pile to pick up. It does suck up the battery quick at full power. If you have the kit with the battery, you are good to go. But if you buy the bare tool, you battery have several batteries ready to use. Any battery less then 4.0 amps will onlly be good for cleaning off decks or a quick light cleaning of your driveway. I had a electric corded blower sbefore and I have to say that I've cleaned way more often now that I don't have to drag out and put the cord away!

great blower, love the two power settings. low is like my old single speed blower, good for blowing off mower And along garage walls. high speed really moves stuff, be careful in the garage if its not fastened down. great for cleaning out rock traps and mulch beds as well as moving leaves for smaller projects. if you want to do an entire yard, a gas backpack might be better depending on size of yard. It is powerful!

This device does a fine job of powering up my Milwaukee battery powered drill and leaf blower. The leaf blower when it's set at it's highest power output produces quite WHOOSH! So much so that it's inspiring to consider that while it wouldn't be practical to use M18 batteries to power up a hover craft with current tech. I can imagine that in the future just maybe.....!!!

No cords to mess with and at least the same power if not more. I did buy the bigger higher power longer lasting battery. The variable speed trigger is awesome! You can go from real light blowing out of a corner to full blast blow it 15 feet away with ease. Cons: A little heavier, and a little louder
