Best Cordless Leaf Blowers for 2026: Greenworks, EGO, Ryobi, and WORX Compared

A cordless blower runs on its maker's battery platform, so the first question is which batteries you already own. The second is how much air you need. CFM measures how much air a blower moves; MPH measures how fast it moves. Our CFM vs MPH explainer covers how to read the two.

The Picks at a Glance

Runtime figures are each maker's "up to" ratings, usually at lower speeds; turbo drains a battery faster.

The Picks

Greenworks 80V 770 CFM - Our Pick

Per Greenworks, this kit (model BL80L414) delivers 770 CFM and 180 MPH, has a variable-speed trigger with cruise control and a turbo button, and is rated for up to 80 minutes of runtime on the included 80V 4.0Ah battery, which recharges in about 60 minutes. Greenworks says the battery works in its other 80V tools and gives a 4-year limited warranty on both tool and battery. Greenworks' feature list puts the weight at 10.56 lb with the battery, while its spec table lists 17.4 lb, so we don't lean on either number. We chose it because it pairs the highest CFM rating on this page with a battery and charger, and it was sold by Amazon.

EGO LB7654 765 CFM - For EGO's Platform

Per EGO, the LB7654 reaches 765 CFM on turbo and up to 200 MPH, with a 260-580 CFM dial and cruise control for steady blowing. EGO rates it for up to 90 minutes of average runtime with a 5.0Ah battery, and about 15 minutes on turbo. EGO's warranty is 5 years on the tool and 3 years on batteries and chargers for purchases from authorized retailers. EGO's configuration table lists this kit with a 5.0Ah battery and charger, though its product description elsewhere calls the battery "available separately," so confirm on the listing. See our EGO blower guide for the rest of the lineup.

Ryobi 40V HP Whisper 730 CFM - For Ryobi 40V Owners

Ryobi rates this Whisper Series blower at 730 CFM, and the Amazon listing rates it at 190 MPH. On Amazon it's tool only, so it makes sense if you already have Ryobi 40V batteries. When we checked, it was sold by a third-party seller. Our Ryobi guide compares it with Ryobi's 650 and 800 CFM models.

WORX Nitro 40V LeafJet WG585.9 - For WORX Owners

Per WORX, the LeafJet is rated at 620 CFM (with booster) and 165 MPH, with 14 N of blow force, and weighs 3.8 lb as a bare tool or 6.6 lb with batteries. It runs at 40V on two 20V PowerShare batteries, and WORX rates it for up to 40 minutes with two 4.0Ah packs. WORX lists WG585.9 as the tool-only version, so plan on two batteries and a charger if you don't have them. One note: an FAQ answer on the same WORX page says 125 MPH; the spec table says 165. It was sold by Amazon.

WORX Nitro 20V LeafJet WG543 - Lightweight

Per WORX, the WG543 has two modes: up to 410 CFM in air-volume mode and up to 130 MPH in air-speed mode, so you don't get both numbers at once. WORX's spec table lists 2.3 lb for the bare tool (another WORX description says 3.7 lb without saying whether that includes the battery), and WORX rates it for up to 25 minutes on low for small yards. WORX lists the WG543 with a 20V 4.0Ah battery and a charger. It suits patios, decks, and light leaf work. It was sold by Amazon. See our WORX guide for more.

Kit or Tool Only?

If a blower is your first tool on a platform, a kit with a battery and charger is the simpler buy. If you already own that maker's batteries, a tool-only blower avoids paying for another battery and charger. Batteries don't cross brands, so check the platform before buying. For DeWalt and Milwaukee owners, see our DeWalt and Milwaukee guides.

Common Questions

How long does a cordless blower run?

It depends on battery size and speed. The makers rate these at up to 80 minutes (Greenworks, 4.0Ah), up to 90 minutes (EGO, 5.0Ah, about 15 on turbo), up to 40 minutes (WORX WG585 with two 4.0Ah), and up to 25 minutes on low (WORX WG543). A second battery is the usual way to extend a session.

Does CFM or MPH matter more?

Both matter: CFM is the volume of air, MPH is its speed. Our CFM vs MPH explainer goes through it.

Should I get a battery or gas blower?

Battery blowers need no fuel mixing and share batteries with other tools. For long sessions on big properties, a gas backpack is still common - see our gas blower guide and backpack blower guide. California requires most newly made small engines, including leaf blowers, to be zero-emission from model year 2024, per CARB.

What about Husqvarna's battery blower?

Husqvarna's Leaf Blaster 350iB is rated at 800 CFM and 200 MPH per Husqvarna. It's covered in our Husqvarna guide.

Bottom Line

Starting fresh with a big yard: the Greenworks 80V 770 kit. On EGO: the LB7654. On Ryobi 40V: the 730, tool only. On WORX: the WG585.9 for more air or the WG543 for light work. Check which batteries are in your garage first.
