Every season, more people kick their gas cans to the curb and make the switch to battery-powered outdoor equipment. Several years ago, that choice would have entailed trading power and dependability for convenience, but not anymore. Indeed, battery-powered gear now rivals (and sometimes surpasses) many gas-fueled models. This certainly seems to be the case with the Greenworks 60V Dual Port Backpack Blower.

Greenworks 60V Backpack Blower Features and Design
When it comes to blowers, power is a key performance factor. Judging by the specs, the Greenworks 60V dual port backpack blower has a lot of it.
Driving this tool is a brushless motor fed by two 4.0Ah lithium-ion batteries. Together, they deliver a blowing force of 824 CFM with air speeds of 151 MPH. Based on these figures, the BPB60L421 should make quick work of just about any cleanup job.
And if you don’t know what these measurements mean or why they’re important, OPE‘s article on CFM vs. MPH has you covered. As you’ll see, the two metrics involve a balance of muscle and efficiency.

Speaking of efficiency, the 60V dual port backpack blower’s power supply provides two things: flexibility and runtime.
Because the BPB60L421 has two active battery ports, it can run with one or two packs inserted. Either configuration yields solid trigger time.
According to Greenworks, you can expect to get about 90 minutes with two batteries and roughly 45 minutes with one. Moreover, the 6.0Ah rapid charger helps reduce downtime.
