Which is better for large yards with wet leaves?

The 880 CFM kit. It moves more air and ships with two batteries, so you can swap and keep going. The LB7654 is close but runs out sooner on turbo.

Is the 880 CFM worth stepping up to over the LB7654?

Yes if you clear big properties or want a spare battery. For small lots and dry leaves, the LB7654 has enough power and is easier to handle.

Which one lasts longer per charge?

Both claim up to 90 minutes of average runtime. The LB7654 gets that from one 5.0Ah pack on low speed; the 880 CFM kit splits it across two 4.0Ah packs. Turbo cuts both to minutes.

Do they share batteries and chargers?

Yes. Both run on EGO 56V ARC Lithium packs and use the 320W charger, so packs are interchangeable across the EGO lineup.

Which is easier to carry for long sessions?

The 880 CFM has a carbon fiber body, but it carries two packs. The LB7654 is simpler in hand; owners say its battery still adds weight and the strap helps.

Can either one vacuum or mulch?

No. Both are blow-only handhelds with no vacuum or mulching capability.

Ego LB7654 Leaf Blower vs EGO POWER+ 880 CFM Blower Kit

Buy the 880 CFM kit if you want the most blowing force and two batteries in the box. Buy the LB7654 if you want the lighter, simpler single-battery blower and don't need the extra headroom. Both use the same 56V platform, brushless motors and 200 MPH top speed, so the real split is 880 vs 765 CFM, carbon fiber vs standard body, and two 4.0Ah batteries vs one 5.0Ah. Owners of the LB7654 praise the power and run time but complain the battery makes it heavy and that turbo drains it fast.

Choose the Ego LB7654 if you want a proven single-battery handheld with a shoulder strap and a 5.0Ah pack that runs long on low speed.
Choose the EGO POWER+ 880 CFM kit if maximum CFM, a digital display and a spare battery matter more to you than a lighter body.
