Low-price Greenworks blower with strong specs and a smart battery platform

Yes — the Greenworks Cordless Leaf Blower is worth buying if you already own Greenworks 40V batteries or want a lightweight blower at a very low entry price. At £87.97, it is at its all-time lowest price, yet it still offers a 210km/h air speed, 15m3/min airflow, a brushless motor, cruise control, and a 3-year guarantee.

First impressions: simple, light, and aimed at real garden use

This is a tool-only package, so the headline price looks attractive only if you already have a compatible Greenworks 40V 2Ah or 4Ah battery. For UK gardens, that makes sense for people who already use the platform across a small to medium lawn, patio, or driveway. The design is built around one-handed use, with a cushioned grip and balanced body angle that should make it easier to move leaves off paths, borders, and lawns without fighting the tool.

What do the key features actually mean?

The standout spec is the second-generation axial fan, which Greenworks says produces a forceful jet of air for clearing wet or dry leaves. That matters in the UK, where damp autumn leaves are often harder to shift than dry ones. The brushless motor is another important point: it should mean less friction, better efficiency, quieter running, and longer life than a brushed motor, while the variable speed and turbo function give you more control for delicate areas or stubborn debris.

The cruise control is especially useful on longer clear-ups because you do not have to keep squeezing the trigger continuously. That is a practical feature rather than a gimmick, and it helps when clearing larger patios, gravel edges, or a whole driveway after windy weather.

How does it perform in real-world garden conditions?

On paper, 210km/h and 15m3/min put this in the useful mid-range for domestic cordless blowers rather than the top end of the market. That should be enough for typical UK garden jobs: clearing leaves from a lawn, blowing debris out of a garage, tidying a paved area, or moving grass clippings after mowing. The promise of wet-leaf clearing is particularly relevant in autumn and winter, when many cheaper blowers struggle.

Where it will not compete is outright power against premium rivals. The EGO Power+ LB6150 costs £149.00 and carries a 4.6★ rating, while the EGO Power+ LB5302 is far more expensive at £361.51 but includes a battery and charger and also scores 4.5★. Greenworks is cheaper than both, but the trade-off is that you are buying the bare tool only, and the spec sheet does not suggest class-leading airflow.

Is it good value for money?

At £87.97, this is strong value if you are already in the Greenworks 40V ecosystem. The current price is also the lowest ever recorded, and the price data shows it is sitting at the average price too, which removes the risk of overpaying. The value case weakens if you need to buy a battery and charger separately, because then the real cost rises quickly and the initial saving disappears.

Build quality and ownership

The brushless motor and 3-year guarantee are both reassuring. Greenworks has a reputation for battery tools, and the guarantee helps offset the fact that this is a relatively affordable blower. The product also appears in 4 variations, giving buyers some flexibility in colour, size, or storage setup.

How does it compare to alternatives?

Compared with the EGO LB6150 at £149.00, the Greenworks is much cheaper and likely the better buy for lighter domestic use, especially if you already own compatible batteries. Compared with the EGO LB5302 at £361.51, Greenworks is dramatically more affordable, but EGO’s higher price includes a battery and charger and comes with a stronger review score. Against the Stihl MS 170 at £308.00, the comparison is less direct because that is a chainsaw, but it underlines how competitively priced the Greenworks is within serious outdoor power tools.

The main warning

The biggest downside is that this is battery-free, so first-time Greenworks buyers may underestimate the total cost. Also, while the blower should be capable for everyday garden clearing, the listed specs do not suggest it will outperform the best premium blowers on raw power.

Bottom line

If you already own Greenworks 40V batteries, this is an easy recommendation at £87.97. If you do not, the tool-only format makes it less compelling, and you should compare the full system cost before buying.
