Why We Love This Deal
Soon, your yard, driveway, sidewalk, and patio/decks will be covered in falling leaves, which means it’s time again to bust out the old leaf blower. If you’re still limited to the length of a cord or you’re tired of filling up the gas tank, it might be time to consider going electric. Electric options have come a very, very long way in power tools and lawn care equipment, and today’s models are just as powerful, if not more. Ego is one of the brands leading that charge, and one of its bestselling models, this 56V model, is now on sale at Lowe’s.
The Ego 56V 650 CFM Electric Leaf Blower is on sale at Lowe’s for just $230 right now, thanks to its discount of $50 off its full price of $280—a savings of 18%. This powerful cordless option gives you plenty of juice to spend more time removing leaves and less time recharging. With 12,800 five-star ratings (nearly 80% of its votes overall), it’s easy to see why stores like Lowe’s cannot keep it stocked.
Ego 56V 650 CFM Electric Leaf Blower, $230 (was $280) at Lowe’s
What Shoppers Should Know
- Voltage: 56V
- CFM: 650
- MPH: 180
- Battery: 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion
- Motor: Brushless
- Accessories: Tapered and spread nozzles
- Runtime: 90 minutes
- Weather-proof: IPX4 weather-resistant
- Weight: 4.8 pounds
- Noise: 64dB
This pricing from Lowe’s is right on target with what Amazon is offering, but it’s also $29 cheaper than Walmart‘s price (though it comes with a nozzle attachment), and is not even offered at The Home Depot.
Pricing aside, this blower has more power than you’ll know what to do with it, as it ramps up to 650CFM, which equates to wind speed up to 180 MPH. That’s strong enough for leaves that have been sitting in a pile for days on end, even after being rained on. Even with all that power (which may or may not be necessary), you can dial it back for lighter jobs thanks to its variable speed settings.
The one common downside to electric power tools is that they often run out of power during high-demand jobs. Luckily, you won’t have to worry nearly as much with this model, as it comes standard with a powerful 5.0Ah Lithium-ion battery, giving you up to 90 minutes of runtime, which should be enough for small, medium, and slightly larger yards. The brushless motor ensures longevity and easier overall handling. It’s quieter than a gas-powered and its compact size and easy start make it a must-have this fall.

What Shoppers Are Saying
One loyal Ego user confessed that this was their third blower from the brand. “All of the blowers are still working, but I wanted something with more power,” they said. Apparently, it provides more power than previous models, but it’s much better balanced, even with a larger 5.0Ah battery attached. They also loved how quiet it was, and while a bit more expensive than some, it goes back to the adage of “you get what you pay for.”
Another said they “got it because I’m sick of my gas-powered equipment with the loud exhaust and smelly fumes.” They noted that it’s “as powerful, if not more powerful, than my gas Echo blower.”
This deal goes until Oct. 15, but there’s no guarantee that this Ego blower will last until then. Make sure to grab yours and get your fall yard work done soon.
