The Owner-Style Take
Opinion
My read: Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512) is not a universal recommendation. It earns its place when the use case is narrow and real: Buyers who want maximum CFM-per-dollar in a serious residential blower and don't need the bigger EGO ecosystem.
The reason to keep it on the shortlist is 730 CFM beats EGO LB6504 on the spec sheet. The reason to slow down before buying is build quality is solid but not ego-level premium. I would not treat the star rating as the decision; I would treat the yard, storage, maintenance tolerance, and five-year cost as the decision.
If you are deciding between this and EGO Power+ 650 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower (LB6504), start with the failure mode you are trying to avoid. Pick Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512) when the notes below describe your lawn more closely; pick EGO Power+ 650 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower (LB6504) when its compromises sound easier to live with.
Pick It Over
- Pick Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512) over EGO Power+ 650 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower (LB6504) when you already own Greenworks 80V batteries or the 730 CFM kit is meaningfully cheaper.
- Pick Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512) over DeWalt 40V MAX Brushless Backpack Leaf Blower (DCBL590X1) when you want the stronger editorial score and can live with the tradeoffs called out below.
- Pick Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512) over Ryobi 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series Leaf Blower when 80V battery sharing matters more than Home Depot support or lower noise.
Skip If
- - Your cleanup zone is small enough for a rake or broom, or local noise rules make high-output blowers a bad neighbor move.
- - Build quality is solid but not EGO-level premium
- - 80V Pro ecosystem is smaller than EGO 56V
Five-Year Cost
Estimated five-year cash outlay: $275-$575. That includes the current street-price range plus possible battery reserve, nozzle wear, and ordinary storage/charging costs; it does not assume a paid repair shop unless the category commonly forces one.
Greenworks Pro 80V 730 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower (BL80L2512): Editorial Assessment
The Greenworks 80V blower is the spec-sheet value pick, but I would only frame it that way after cleaning up the model confusion. The 730 CFM / 170 MPH retail kit maps to the newer BL80L2512-style listing, while Greenworks also sells older/lower-output 80V blower kits under similar BL80 model names. Check the exact CFM, battery, and charger in the cart before comparing price.
Pick it over EGO when you already own Greenworks 80V packs or when the kit is meaningfully cheaper and still includes the 2.5Ah battery. Pick it over Toro/Worx corded when outlet range would make cord management miserable. Pick EGO instead if this is your first premium outdoor platform and you care more about long-term ecosystem polish than the day-one CFM number.
The ownership caveat is support and battery economics. The 80V pack is valuable only if it also runs a mower, trimmer, chainsaw, or snow tool. If this blower becomes your only Greenworks item, you paid a battery tax for one seasonal task. I would also avoid overselling turbo runtime; 730 CFM is a burst-cleanup mode, not a full-property constant setting. I would verify the retailer model number against Greenworks before buying, because old 80V blower kits can look nearly identical in thumbnails. It is a strong buy for 80V households, less obvious for everyone else.
