Awsome product for what I use it for very nice for quick jobs like blowing out shop floor to blowing grass out of flower beds and driveway would not recommend if wanting to blow leaves in yard unless you have a small yard they eat up battery

I originally bought this for a cleaning job.
But I use this for soo much more.
There is rabbit speed & turtle speed. The power behind this baby is impressive.
The appearance is very nice and clean.
I’ve looked over how many other brands & I feel like this is the best value for my money.
The noise is not that bad. I just pop in my earbuds and listen to my crime junkie podcast while I use it. It is very easy to use this. And it barely weighs anything.

I have only had this blower for a few months, but I have to say I am INCREDIBLY impressed with its power / performance (using a 3rd party 6.0ah battery). It’s POWERFUL beyond belief and INCREDIBLY lightweight. (Weight matters when you have persistent tennis elbow) It’s an absolute marvel of engineering. My neighbour had the Milwaukee blower 1st and I loved it so much I borrowed it 2 or 3 times a month, so he proposed that I buy a blower and some batteries and he would give me the charger as well as a Milwaukee fuel weedeater. To good a deal to pass up for SURE. I was concerned that 3rd party batteries would not have the longevity or the power the original batteries had but let me tell you, these batteries are nothing short of AMAZING in this blower! They charge FAST in the original Milwaukee charger. Every bit as much oomph as my neighbor’s (maybe MORE, but it’s not an apples to apples comparison, mine are brand new and his are a few years old) and my blower is DEFINITELY better than his. I’m not sure if simply because it’s a newer model, or that my batteries are brand new and 6.0ah. Anyway, if you know ANYTHING about tools you already know the Milwaukee is LEGENDARY. You won’t be disappointed with this purchase for I assure you.

plenty of power and don’t have to mess with gas

works great for cleaning 53′ trailers. only drawback is it’s a battery eater because of the great volume

If you’re clearing a LOT of leaves across a large lawn, expect 1) the blower will be very powerful and fast but 2) you’ll probably drain the battery with 5-10 minutes of blowing.
But since I had 2 Milwaukee batteries I got with my Milwaukee air pump and didn’t need them, the blower was a great addition to my tool set and meets my needs for a 1/5th acre property. And oddly it’s even more powerful than my gas powered blower

La sopladora la probé con una batería M18 High Output de 6 amperios, y me ofreció gran potencia, ideal para limpiar hojarasca y pequeñas basuras de Jardín, es práctica y no es ruidosa y pesada en comparación con sopladoras de combustible. Cuenta con 2 modos de velocidad lento y rápido, además de que el gatillo te ofrece la opción de regular la intensidad de la sopladora.

I was hesitant to buy a cordless leaf blower. I read many mixed reviews indicating they were weak. Milwaukee M18 was only rated mid-tier. But I have the M18 hedger and string trimmer which are beasts and top quality construction. So I trusted my own experience with Milwaukee and I am glad I did!
The 2724-20 trimmer is plenty powerful enough to blow leaves, grass trimmings, gravel, dirt clods off driveways and sidewalks, and leaves off the lawn. I have used extensively the Stihl BR600 backpack blower which is nearly a jet pack it is so powerful. The Milwaukee is not nearly as powerful as the BR600 but I rarely used the BR600 more than 30% throttle and the Milwaukee is plenty good to go.
Many gas powered blowers have to idle fast so they don’t die (unless you keep your engine tuned properly). And you don’t want to turn it off frequently and have to keep restarting it. So you walk around with the blower constantly on and have to be very careful where the nozzle is pointed so as you change positions you don’t accidentally blow away your pile, or blow sand against a car or passerby. The cordless blowers turn on and off in an instant so it is super convenient to just let off the trigger and stop when someone walks by or wants to chat, or you need to change position and walk through an area you do NOT want to blow.
Also, the power of the M18 blower is perfect. Not so strong it blows things too far or blasts them too far into areas not wanted. Yet plenty strong enough to scour dirt clogs off the driveway and scoot gravel off it as well. You don’t have to be right on top of the debris like weaker blowers. I work my debris line about 6-10 ft from me, which is perfect for me to not have to micro-manage the thing yet also have good amount of control of the debris line.
The unit is very lightweight for its power. Easily handled by my 10-12 yr old grandkids and wife. I used it with my already owned M18 9.0Ah battery and after blowing the driveway, a sidewalk and some garden areas I still had all four lights on the battery status. Should do fine with 4.0 or 5.0 Ah batteries.
On the highest speed it does start to produce a turbine whine. But I rarely need full blast power and anything below that is pretty quiet. I used about half power most of the time with an occasional full blast.
I generally hate the sound of leaf blowers. Resisted getting blower of my own as I hate hearing the dang things so often at office and at home. But so glad I finally got this 2nd gen M18 blower. Very quiet so it is not irritating. Battery powered so no messing with gas and pull starts. Just slide in a battery and pull the trigger. Compared to the mixed reviews I read I am so surprised and pleased with the power of this blower. Not sure how it will do with wet and packed leaves. But that situation is low on my priority list. I find it very useful to blow off wood working tools, dusty shelves, outdoor work areas, blowing dirt and leaves out of the garage, keeping the drive and sidewalks clear, and it should be plenty strong enough and I think light enough to use for blowing leaves out of the gutter (not tried yet). I saw a Youtube video of a guy using his blower to rekindle his campfire!
By the way, the trigger is variable speed. Many reviews I watched seemed too say you just had the fast (rabbit) and slow (turtle) settings. It does have that, much like a drill/driver does. But like the drill/driver with two speed settings it also has the variable speed trigger. So that was nice to discover. It has a trigger hold button but that does work only at top speed for either setting.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and the M18 blower is just perfect for my home use. I would think this would be very nice for a commercial landscape company to have so they could do blowing inn the early morning hours or in very quiet neighborhoods. Personally, I wish all leaf blowers were cordless instead of the annoying gas engine sounds. I love the sound of chainsaws and mowers but gas leaf blowers are just annoying to me. Milwaukee make fantastically tough cordless tools and this blower looks every bit as well designed and sturdy as the other tools I have from them.
