My original EGO blower still works but the specs on this thing blows it away. In reality, it really does perform well. Size is a lot bigger but not the noise--it is surprisingly less noisy than anticipated.

I had Ego 580 for a while now the Ego 1000. 580 was high pitch. 1000 can do the same light work but quiete and with more blow power. Don't need use turbo mode like I did with the 580. 1000 is plenty powerful.

This blower will blow you away. I transitioned from an orange commercial gas blower and found this model competes with top backpack models. No noise, fumes, and expensive engineered fuels. I use a backpack link which reduces the weight, making the blower easy on my body while maintaining sufficient power. Should have switched years ago.

LBX1000:
32.0 Newtons of pushing force
No normal CFM rating is listed but, Turbo mode is rated at a whopping 1,000 CFM
150MPH (without tapered nozzle) and upto 185MPH (with tapered nozzle)
7 pounds (tool only) and comes with a built in top handle and included shoulder strap if you want to use a large amperage battery. Two handed operation is well balanced.

Consider the Newtons as the maximum torque or air pushing force that you need to move heavier objects like wet leaves, acorns, a pile of wet crud in the gutter or even wet snow. I found it interesting that maximum air force can only be achieved without using the tapered nozzle. The tapered nozzle actually decrease the newton torque power but increases the air flow which you might use to push small water beads off your cars or light snow & crud off decks and walkways faster. Really blows all the water out of little crevices for spot free auto drying.

I also like the IPX5-rated weather-resistant construction. This blower can get wet from the rain and just keep going. I forgot my and it was rained on and everything was fine. I removed the battery and shook off the water and responded like new.

Lots of information given by the LCD display including battery charge remaining.

Used it several times, lots of power and less tiring with the added chainsaw type handle.
