Greenworks 60V Blower 540 CFM Axial Brushless Review
Ah, there’s nothing like the smell of a shootout spotlight review in the morning (or whenever you’re reading this)! If you’ve been following along with us for the last few weeks, you know that we recently conducted a big ol’ shootout among 16 cordless blowers. If you didn’t know that, be sure to go back […]
Maruyama BL9000-SP Backpack Blower Review

The RedMax EBZ8500 Backpack Blower Review – King of the Hill
Recently, we had the opportunity to pit 7 different brands of backpack blowers against each other in our Backpack Blower Head-To-Head Shootout. While all 7 models that we took a look at had their own particular strengths, a few of the brands stood out as having some really superior features, or power levels, or performance. […]
Echo 58V Cordless Blower Review – Model CPLB-58V2AH (Gen 2)
Echo’s first foray into the cordless OPE world wasn’t bad, but its blower was kind of like the weird kid in the group with a strange design and okay performance. The Echo 58V Cordless Blower Version 2 gets a much sleeker jet fan design and a performance boost. It’s maturing and is beginning to look […]

The thought of going cordless in professional applications may be far from your mind, but consider a couple things we realized in the course of […]
EGO LB5300 56V Blower Review – 530 CFM Cordless Beast!

EGO 15 in String Trimmer 56V Brushless Model Review
Last year we reviewed the EGO 12 in string trimmer which proved to be a great product for those of us with 1/8-acre lots who want to switch to rechargeable outdoor power equipment in lieu of gas powered tools. Where it came up a bit short was in the area of edging or when tackling […]
Echo Timber Wolf CS-590 Chainsaw Review
When I was asked to review the Echo Timber Wolf CS-590 chainsaw as a heavy-duty saw, I’ll admit that I was a bit skeptical. I am used to some of the other big-name commercial saws and Echo just is not a brand that is traditionally mentioned in that mix. As I began to take a […]
