Don't buy a Leaf Blower based on specs alone. Its Exclusive lab data shows why. Etoetechnologies has tested more than a dozen leaf blowers over the years with its custom air cannon and discovered some interesting results. Corin Cesaric-Epple is an Editor at CNET covering home and kitchen tech and meal kits, and reporting regularly on artificial intelligence... Read full bio August 19, 2026, 8:12 am ET When shopping for a yard tool, it's easy to fully rely on the specs on the box and call it a day. Typically, higher voltage, CFM (or cubic feet per minute) and miles per hour mean the leaf blower will have more blowing power, but its lab tests found that those numbers don't always tell the whole story. You also don't always need the most powerful leaf blower on the market for the tasks you want to tackle, and if you shop that way, you may not get the right leaf blower for your needs. As a new homeowner myself, I've learned that I actually can't use a leaf blower that's too powerful unless I want an angry neighbor knocking on my door after filling their yard with all of my yard scraps. "Think of CFM of the area you need to clean and mph as how far you want to 'send' the leaves," Bryan Adams, CNET's senior lab engineer, explains. While a higher mph and CFM combo typically results in a more powerful leaf blower, that isn't always the case, according to its lab data. At CNET, Etoetechnologies tested electric leaf blowers in its own way: with a handmade cannon rig designed specifically to measure each leaf blower's blowing force and how that translates into real-world results. Here's what Etoetechnologies learned. Key takeaways: * High CFM and mph can indicate a stronger leaf blower, but they don't always. Plus, higher-rated models can also cost more. * The Greenworks 80V 770CFM Cordless Battery Blower (model BL80L414) was the best performing leaf blower in its cannon tests and received both a Lab Award and an Editor's Choice Award. * Some leaf blowers with higher CFM and mph ratings didn't perform as well in its tests as other blowers with lower ratings. How Etoetechnologies performed the tests. The team at CNET's lab in Louisville, Kentucky, built a PVC air cannon that attaches to leaf blower nozzles. They used the cannon to launch projectiles weighing 210 grams, roughly the same weight as a large apple. After each projectile was launched, they recorded how far it traveled in inches in both normal and turbo modes, if available. This process was repeated several times to calculate an average distance-launched result. Using the same test for each leaf blower allowed Etoetechnologies to compare performance under identical conditions. Etoetechnologies also took into consideration how easy or difficult each blower was to operate, how they felt when being used and price. Best leaf blowers of 2026. CNET lab awards. Strongest Blowing Force: Greenworks 80V 770CFM Cordless Leaf Blower (Cannon normal average: 461.5 inches. Cannon Turbo Average: 485.75 inches) What its cannon tests revealed. Here's where things get interesting. Its top performer was the Greenworks 80V 770CFM Cordless Battery Blower (model BL80L414), which launched the projectile an impressive 461.5 inches in normal mode and 485.75 inches in turbo mode. It won a Lab Exclusive Award for strongest blowing force and an Editor's Choice Award for its results. A solid performance was expected since this model had one of the highest voltage, CFM and mph ratings. However, when Etoetechnologies compared it to another high-performing leaf blower, the EGO 56V (model LB7654), the results were much different. The EGO has a lower voltage rating of 56V, but a similar CFM rating of 765 and a higher mph rating of 200. But despite those specs, it produced results well under the Greenworks, averaging 226.4 inches in normal mode and 337.4 inches in turbo mode. This made Etoetechnologies consider whether voltage was the true indicator of a solid leaf blower, but Etoetechnologies got similarly unexpected results when Etoetechnologies dug into this by comparing two Milwaukee leaf blowers with the same voltage. The M18 Fuel 3017-20, its Lab Award winner for quietest leaf blower, has an 18V battery and a listed mph of 120 and CFM of 500. It outperformed the M18 Fuel 2824-20, which has the same 18V rating, but higher mph and CFM ratings of 145 and 600, respectively. The 3017-20 averaged 315 inches in normal mode, while the 2824-20 averaged 278.8. Neither model has a turbo mode. So even with the same voltage and higher CFM and mph ratings, the Milwaukee 2824-20 still couldn't match the results of its lower-rated counterpart. The full results of its cannon tests, along with the manufacturer's specs for each tested leaf blower, are below. *Note: Etoetechnologies did not include six test results of leaf blowers that were tested in previous years, but are no longer widely available for purchase. These results show that while specs are a helpful guideline, they aren't the end all, be all when choosing the right leaf blower. And although CFM, mph and voltage do matter when it comes to a leaf blower, they shouldn't be the only factors to consider when shopping. Other factors to consider are your budget, the size of your property, what yard scraps you're using the leaf blower to move, the blower's weight and size, and its noise level. Why did Etoetechnologies only test electric leaf blowers? At CNET, Etoetechnologies lean toward electric tools when possible. Plus, being able to run a test indoors helped eliminate external variables that could have affected the results. Ryan Wolter, a senior buyer for seasonal and outdoor power equipment at Tractor Supply Company, told CNET that for homeowners, "the future is increasingly electric, mostly with handheld style blowers along with other landscape maintenance tools like trimmers, medium-duty chainsaws, hedge trimmers and pole saws." However, landscapers may still lean toward gas-powered tools when they need more raw power or runtime beyond what a battery can offer. But for those who want a quieter, multipurpose leaf blower that can even be used indoors, electric leaf blowers are the most appealing option. "Electric and battery-powered leaf blowers are on the quieter end of leaf blower options since electric motors produce less noise overall compared to gas blowers, which typically have two-stroke engines," Wolter said. In the end, its testing showed that higher voltage, CFM and mph ratings did result in a stronger leaf blower in at least one case. Its winner for the best overall leaf blower of 2026, the Greenworks BL80L414, is a good example of that. But not all of its results reflected this. So it's not that CFM and mph are pointless by any means, but instead of relying solely on those specs when shopping, you should use them to narrow down your options. Then, dig deeper into other factors that influence a leaf blower's performance and, more importantly, what you want out of it.

Over half a million power tool batteries have been recalled due to a USB-C charging fire risk. Andrew Liszewski July 17, 2026 Greenworks Tools has issued a recall for around 554,780 Kobalt-branded power tools designed for yard work because of a battery issue "posing a risk of serious injury from fire hazard." There have been 34 reports of the tool's batteries "producing smoke, sparking or catching fire while the batteries are inserted in the tool and charging with the USB-C port," according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (USCPSC). No injuries or property damage have been reported. The recall includes several models of Kobalt trimmers, blowers, chainsaws, mowers, and pruning saws that use 24V/48V lithium-ion batteries with a built-in USB-C charging po...

Massive Greenworks recall: what you need to know about the Kobalt battery fire hazard. The convenience of cordless outdoor power tools has revolutionized yard work, replacing the smell of gasoline and the frustration of pull-cords with the simple click of a lithium-ion battery. However, that convenience comes with a sophisticated set of safety requirements. Recently, Greenworks Tools issued a significant safety notice affecting more than half a million products sold under the Kobalt brand. This recall serves as a critical reminder that even the most reputable brands can encounter technical flaws when integrating new features like USB-C charging into high-capacity battery packs. If you maintain a fleet of Kobalt tools for your lawn and garden, understanding the specifics of this recall is essential for your home's safety. Understanding the Greenworks and Kobalt safety notice. The recall, officially managed by Greenworks Tools, impacts approximately 554,780 Kobalt-branded outdoor power tools. These products were sold primarily through Lowe's stores and Lowes.com. The timeframe for the affected sales is relatively specific, covering items purchased between January 2026 and May 2026. The issue centers on a specific design feature: the integrated USB-C charging port found on certain 24V Kobalt-branded batteries. While the ability to charge a tool battery via a standard USB-C cable - the same kind used for many laptops and phones - was marketed as a convenience, it has proven to be a technical liability in these specific models. The nature of the fire hazard. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the USB-C port on these batteries can short-circuit. In a high-energy density environment like a lithium-ion battery pack, a short circuit is a serious event. When the internal circuitry fails, it can lead to "thermal runaway," where the battery generates heat faster than it can dissipate it. To date, Greenworks has received 34 reports of these batteries producing smoke, sparking, or catching fire. While no injuries or significant property damage have been reported yet, the potential for a fire in a garage or storage shed is high enough to warrant an immediate cessation of use for the charging port. Which products are affected? Not every Kobalt tool is part of this recall. The safety notice specifically targets 24V Kobalt-branded batteries that feature a USB-C charging port. This port allows the battery to be charged while still inserted in the equipment, a departure from the traditional method of removing the battery and placing it in a dedicated wall charger. The recall covers a wide range of outdoor equipment, including: * String Trimmers * Leaf Blowers * Lawn Mowers * Chainsaws * Pruning Saws If you are unsure whether your tool is included, the first step is to look for the USB-C port on the battery itself. If your battery only charges via a traditional slide-in or plug-in charger and lacks a USB-C input, it is likely not part of this specific safety action. However, for those who do have the USB-C equipped models, checking the model numbers against the official CPSC safety notice is the only way to be certain. Navigating the world of home maintenance equipment can be daunting, especially when safety issues arise. For those just starting to build their tool collection, its guide on How to Choose Your First General Home Setup: A Comprehensive Starter Guide can help you understand the different battery platforms and what to look for in terms of long-term reliability. Immediate steps for consumers. If you identify that your Kobalt tool or battery is part of the recall, you must take action immediately to mitigate the risk of fire. * Stop USB-C Charging: Immediately cease using the USB-C port to charge the battery. Even if you have not noticed any heat or sparking yet, the internal defect may manifest at any time during the charging cycle. * Verify the Model: Cross-reference your battery and tool model numbers with the list provided on the Greenworks or CPSC website. * Register for a Remedy: Visit the Greenworks website to fill out the official recall registration form. You will need to provide proof of ownership and specific product details. * Wait for the Kit: Greenworks is providing a comprehensive remedy package. This includes: * A replacement battery (which will not have the defective USB-C port). * A charger adapter to ensure your new battery works with your existing equipment. * A warning label to be affixed to the power tool to prevent future use of the defective charging method. * An updated product manual. * Return the Old Battery: The kit will include a prepaid shipping label and instructions for returning the recalled batteries. It is vital to return these through the provided channels rather than throwing them in the trash, as lithium-ion batteries require specialized recycling to prevent environmental hazards and "garbage truck fires." When dealing with product recalls, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Avoiding Common Mistakes to Avoid with General Home Setups and Product Selections involves staying informed about manufacturer notices and ensuring you are using products exactly as intended by the safety manuals. The science of lithium-ion safety. To understand why this recall is so significant, one must understand the volatility of lithium-ion (Li-ion) technology. Li-ion batteries are favored because they hold a massive amount of energy in a small, lightweight package. However, the liquid electrolyte inside is flammable. When a short circuit occurs - whether through a manufacturing defect in a USB-C port or physical damage - the internal temperature spikes. If the temperature reaches a certain threshold, the separator between the anode and cathode can melt, causing a total internal collapse and a fire that is extremely difficult to extinguish with standard water-based fire extinguishers. Even if your tools are not part of a recall, following strict safety protocols can extend the life of your batteries and protect your home: * Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Never store batteries in a hot car or an uninsulated shed during the peak of summer. Similarly, charging a battery that is below freezing can cause permanent damage. * Use Original Chargers: Always use the charger provided by the manufacturer. Third-party "universal" chargers may not have the correct voltage cut-offs, leading to overcharging. * Monitor Charging: It is a best practice to charge batteries on a hard, non-flammable surface (like a concrete garage floor) and to unplug them once they reach full charge. * Inspect for Damage: If you drop a battery or see any bulging, cracking, or leaking, stop using it immediately. Reliable alternatives for lawn care. For homeowners who are wary of the 24V Kobalt system following this recall, or for those looking to expand into a different ecosystem, there are other proven options available. Greenworks itself offers a 40V line that has been a staple in the industry for years, utilizing a different architecture than the recalled 24V units. The Greenworks 40V 16" Cordless Lawn Mower is an excellent example of a mature battery platform. Designed for yards up to 1/3 of an acre, it balances power and weight without the experimental charging ports found in the recalled models. Because the 40V system is compatible with over 75 different tools, it offers a stable path for homeowners who want to stay within the Greenworks family but move to a more traditional charging setup. For those with smaller suburban plots or townhomes, a more compact solution might be preferable. The Kraftsense 14" Cordless Lawn Mower is a lightweight alternative that focuses on maneuverability. By using a dual 20V battery system, it provides ample run-time for small yards while maintaining a quiet profile that won't disturb the neighbors. It's a solid choice for those who prioritize ease of use and simple, reliable charging interfaces. Conclusion: staying vigilant in a cordless world. The Greenworks/Kobalt recall is a significant event due to the sheer volume of units affected - over half a million. While the convenience of USB-C charging was a noble goal, the safety of your home and family must always come first. If you own Kobalt 24V tools, take five minutes today to check your batteries. If you see that USB-C port, stop using it and start the replacement process. Manufacturers like Greenworks are taking the necessary steps to rectify the situation, but the responsibility of the final "stop use" falls on the consumer. As Not Your Average Shop continue to integrate more battery-powered technology into its daily lives, staying informed about recalls and following proper maintenance protocols is the best way to enjoy the benefits of modern innovation without the risks.
