Greenworks 80V Cordless Leaf Blower vs Milwaukee M18 Fuel Handheld Blower

The Greenworks 80V is the stronger leaf-clearing tool: more air volume and speed, a battery and charger in the box, and vacuum and mulching ability. The Milwaukee 3017-20 is a lighter, much quieter handheld that runs on the M18 battery platform, but it is tool-only and cannot vacuum or mulch. Buy the Greenworks for fall leaf cleanup on a decent-sized yard; buy the Milwaukee if you already own M18 batteries and want low noise and easy one-hand control.

• Choose the Greenworks 80V if you want the most clearing power, a battery and charger included, and vacuum and mulching for bagging leaves.
• Choose the Milwaukee 3017-20 if you already own M18 batteries, want a light and very quiet blower, and only need to move dry debris off hard surfaces.
