I just bought a new one to replace the one I had previously, which lasted over five years, under heavy use with 8 and 10 amp batteries. I literally use it in my yard for leaves; although, I will be upgrading to the 60 V max blower soon. I can't wait to see how well that thing handles leaves. Anyway, I would highly recommend this blower for construction job site clean up, wood shop, or even ight to moderate yard work. I would just recommend that you have at least a 6 amp battery to really get the most out of it!

Lasted 4.5 years.? But, when it's only used 1 - 2 times a week, on a 2 ah battery, and only gets charged 1 time per month, I don't think that's very good. I have other Dewalt tools lasting well over 8 years now. Would not recommend to anyone due to the dissapointing life span.

This item is great for a small child to help the parents. Not for any yard work or projects

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago for my wife who had a hard time getting my gas powered blower started. She uses it a lot while cleaning up after planting her garden and flowers. Also this time of year (spring), blowing pollen and other droppings from the trees off the deck and porch. It doesn’t replace the gas powered blowers for doing yard work, but it does work perfectly for what she uses it for. Great addition to the tool shed! I highly recommend it for small projects!
