While the performance of this blower, in terms of wind speed and volume, is not nearly as good as my 80v Greenworks blower, it does a fine job at clearing leaves. The lower speed/volume is more than offset by the lower weight -- this is a breeze to use (no pun intended) for long stretches compared with the 80v blower.
This is my go-to for clearing leaves off of hard surfaces, and for clearing leaves off of mulched planting beds since it is far less likely to move the mulch than my 80v. Once all the leaves are out of the planting beds and off the patio & driveway, I use the 80v blower to move the piles to the curb. This 40v one could also do that, but the 80v is better suited to moving large piles quickly.
It uses the same 40v Greenworks as all the other tools in the 40v collection. I find it works fine (in terms of usable run time) with the 2.5Ah battery, but larger capacity 40v ones can also be used. The controls are simple, and I like that it uses a dial rather than a trigger. For me, it makes it easier to use with my arthritis.
Not the most powerful one out there, but it holds its own while keeping the weight and arm/hand fatigue to a minimum. Five stars.

Defective design, blower lasted less than three seasons then fan impeller failed
FINAL FINAL UPDATE:I have used the warranty replacement blower less than two seasons and can see that the identical failure is occurring. The first indication was an increase in noise and vibration. I then could see the cracks propagating from the corners of the square impeller mounting hole. It’s just a matter of time before the impeller breaks free. This is despite the fact that the replacement was used only for very light service, blowing off the porch and clearing the garage at low speed.. I am throwing in the towel on this blower, and have bought a different brand.FINAL UPDATE: Now that I have had the replacement for a week, I decided to tear down the old blower and get a closer look at the failure. I found that the fan was more severely cracked than I had realized, and that it had been rubbing against the blower housing. I also got a good look at the “guts” of the blower. The switch, speed control circuit board and permanent magnet motor all looked to be cheaply made. One positive comments is that the components were made with some level of vibration resistance in mind.Based on the improvement in the customer service I have bumped my rating to two stars.UPDATE: I finally received the replacement blower. Greenworks has upgraded their customer service since the time in June when I originally made the warranty claim, and there was no need to wait on hold for over and hour. It does not appear that there has been any change to the design so I don't have any expectations of improved reliability. My plan is to use it for very light duty, and inspect the fan after every use.I had bought this blower for light service, namely blowing debris off my patio, porch, and walkway. I have a 2-stroke blower for my driveway and autumn leaf roundup. At the end of the 2019 season the Greenworks blower developed a harsh noise and vibration which got increasingly loud this spring. When I examined the fan rotor I could see multiple cracks. It is apparent that the cracks had allowed the fan to come loose on the motor shaft, resulting in the noise and vibration. It is likely that the cracks originated in the corners of the square mounting hole where the fan mounts on the motor shaft. This can be considered to be a weak design...sharp corners have a high stress concentration factor.I was initially pleased to see that my blower was still under warranty, by the customer service was far from stellar. I submitted a warranty claim on the GreenWorks website but got no response other than a email confirmation of my request. After 2 weeks I called the 800 number and was on hold for 50 minutes before getting an agent. He advised that I would get a replacement under warranty but that I had to wait six weeks for the next shipment and then only after I call the toll-free number a second time.Based on other reviews, the same failure has occurred multiple times. This is one of my five Greenworks 40v tools. I have been quite happy with the rest of them and use them within their light-duty limitations, but have no expectations that I will get more than another 2-3 years out of the replacement blower.
