Best Backpack Blower Review
The Tool Box Buzz Crew seeks to crown the best commercial-grade battery backpack blower in this most recent Head-to-Head comparison test. In 2023 our crew tested and chose the best Handheld Cordless Blower. Building on that success, we are now examining battery backpack blowers. However, this Head-to-Head will primarily be geared towards commercial users. Backpack blowers are synonymous with the landscaping and property maintenance trades. We aim to determine which blowers are ready to keep up with demanding commercial use and provide the best options for pros looking to purchase a battery-powered model.
Best Commercial Battery Backpack Blower | Test Criteria
We selected eight categories to determine our best commercial battery backpack blower of 2024. The tools were ranked in each category and an overall score was later used to determine our winner. The evaluation categories are:
• Measured Maximum Air Speed (MPH)
• Calculated Maximum Air Volume (CFM)
• Total Run-time on a Battery Charge (Minutes)
• Power Sled Performance Test
• Measured Noise Output (Decibels)
• Assembled Weight
• Features and Ergonomics
• Price
In addition to our overall winner, we selected a tool as our Best Value. This category highlights a single backpack blower that may not be our top-performing tool but offers an excellent overall value based on its features and performance compared to its price.
Battery Backpack Blower Lineup
Once our testing criteria were finalized, we identified the current available pro-grade models. Invitations were sent to the manufacturers to participate in our Head-To-Head. A total of six companies agreed to participate and provided us with samples of their products. Not every company that was invited chose to participate however our sample size is an excellent representation of the pro-user market.
Our participating companies provided us with the backpack blower unit, a battery, and a charger. Additionally, manufacturers were invited to include any accessories or optional parts that improve the overall user experience. Only one company elected to do this. Stihl provided us with an upgraded waist belt to enhance user comfort.

Wow, that greenworks is no joke.
I really did not expect that.
We were imporessed!
imagine that Kress 2 or 3 generations from now.
Just subscribed. What an amazing video! I've been researching commercial battery blowers for our gardening business for many months and this is the best information by a long shot!
@@_CarlosA thx
nice, too bad makita didn't provide an unit for testing, they have two models :|
We're going to a Makita event this week - From what Im hearing, Im hopeful they will have a better outlook on comparison tests in the future.
@@ConcordCarpenter yep, I hope so too! thanks :)
Is the title wrong, or did you upload the wrong video?

Thank you my friend. I will fix that immediately.
Thanks for doing the work! (I’m looking forward to the cutoff tool video)
@@sswwooppee they have done it already...
@@sswwooppee haha - we did that one over the winter.... did you see it?

I love my m18 backpack blower nice little beast 😍
I do like that the batteries will run all their carpentry tools as well as their OPE tools. Very convenient.
Would like to see M18 forge and their M18 dual bay supercharger. Why didn’t we see which blowers are open loop & closed loop?
I do want a backpack but I think for the cost I will stick with my handheld M18 and ultimately go with a gas option in the $400 range. I tested battery life last year and I believe 12ah was 24 minutes. My buddy has the dual battery M18 and it's very awkward. I'd love to see some other companies recognize the value of a charger like Kress offers. Even though it's very expensive, I don't see many landscapers making the transition to battery with 1-3 hour charge times. If you ran all battery landscaping tools then I could see a need for 15-25 batteries daily. At that point it would be cheaper to buy a $500-800 charger and ~10 batteries. Anything that can charge during a 10 minute lull or lunch break would be a game changer.
@@Tool_Addicted_Carpenter agreed
And thanks for the video! Although I'll likely never buy a backpack battery blower, i love these videos!
Milwaukee need to up their game. I'm not surprised there were a few concerns or disappointments.
Kress is a fun suprise. Those batteries are pretty amazing and expensive.
Batteries do a great job at eliminating the inconvenience of a cord. Gasoline however is not an inconvenience. It makes sense if you live in a backwards state and you have no choice. Everyone else needs to wait several years before these become practical tools. It's exciting though and I'm here for the ride. Great channel. I love these tests..... If you read this far... Go buy an Echo PB-9010T and thank me later. If you buy two you'll be able to fly.
I need someone to compare these at an actual job site or sites.
Dewalt has one but they haven't put out yet
No Makita for this test? 😢
@@Silky_boi negative, Makita was invited but they declined to participate. I think they are hoping for a new generation to come out not 100% sure why they didn’t participate.
@@ConcordCarpenter weird, current models was launched relatively recently :(
@@riba2233 We've been testing for several months - which brand released a new model?
@@ConcordCarpenter I was just commenting how makitas current models are not that old, so I am not sure if that was the reason they didn't want to provide them, they usually don't release new models that often
@@riba2233 Gotcha
10 out of 10 for that stone wall man
Is it mortared in place?!
It’s not Eee-co 1:03 it’s Ec-ho Echo
Congrats - you're the first to publicly correct me on proper pronounciation. Thanks for the education sir!
@@ConcordCarpenter hey, as long as he feels better about himself, Rob. Some people, what ya gonna do? Lol
@@georgedavall9449 I kept screwing it up….I knew I’d get called on it
@@ConcordCarpenter you said it eh-cho at 11:25. I only noticed because I kept looking for the EGO whenever you said it otherwise, lol.
Ego would probably beat all of them. They do have a commercial backpack blower.
Maybe. We reached out to EGO, they were in transition between PR/Marketing firms and could not get their act together to ship a sample. If we get one we can always run it thru our tests and update ya'll.
