Greenworks 80V Cordless Leaf Blower vs Greenworks 60V Brushless Leaf Blower

Both are Greenworks brushless handhelds, so the real split is the battery platform and what comes in the box. The 80V kit includes a 4.0 Ah battery and rapid charger and is rated for up to 80 minutes of runtime, while the 60V is tool-only and needs a 60V battery you may already own. On paper the 60V lists higher air volume and speed, but the 80V has the stronger independent lab result and a lighter feel with the pack installed. Buy the 80V if you are starting fresh; buy the 60V if you are already on the 60V platform.

• Choose the Greenworks 80V if you want a complete kit with battery and charger, the longest runtime, and the model that won CNET's lab test for blowing force.
• Choose the Greenworks 60V if you already own 60V Greenworks batteries and want a lighter tool with turbo, cruise control and a 5.0 Ah pack option.
