Is the EGO LV5000 worth it?

If you already own EGO 56V batteries, it replaces raking and bagging for fall leaves and cuts bag volume 16:1. If you need a strong blower first, a dedicated blower does that job better.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. This is the tool-only version. You need a separate EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery and charger; with the recommended 6.0Ah battery it runs up to 90 minutes on low or about 15 minutes on high.

How long does the battery last?

Up to 90 minutes on low and roughly 15 minutes on high with the 6.0Ah battery. Expect shorter runs with smaller packs or heavy leaf loads.

The vacuum tube, leaf bag, blower tube, tapered nozzle and shoulder strap. Battery and charger are not included.

How does it compare to a dedicated leaf blower?

It blows up to 500 CFM and 210 MPH, enough for light clearing, but owners say it does not replace a dedicated blower. Its advantage is vacuuming and mulching leaves you would otherwise bag.

Our take on the EGO POWER+ Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher

The EGO POWER+ LV5000 is a cordless 3-in-1 tool that vacuums, mulches and blows leaves. Six metal tines shred debris at a 16:1 ratio, so 16 bags of leaves become about one, and the wide metal-tipped intake resists clogging. In blower mode it moves up to 500 CFM and 210 MPH. This is the tool-only version, so the 56V ARC Lithium battery and charger cost extra. The best new price is $269.00 at Cutler's as of November 4, 2026, with three stores listing it new.

What reviewers say

About the EGO POWER+ Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher

The EGO POWER+ Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher with 500 CFM Blower (LV5000) is a 3-in-1 cordless tool that vacuums, mulches and blows, helping you finish fall cleanup with far fewer yard waste bags. Leaves and debris are drawn in and finely shredded by six metal tines at a 16:1 ratio, so 16 bags of leaves become just one.The vacuum tube has a wide, metal-tipped opening that improves airflow and reduces clogging. Clippings collect in a heavy-duty 40L bag that attaches and detaches without tools and empties through a large dual zipper. Switching to blower mode is tool-free, and with the tapered nozzle the tool produces up to 500 CFM and up to 210 MPH of air speed. A variable speed rotary dial, soft-grip auxiliary handle and IPX5-rated weather resistance round out the design.This is the tool-only version: the battery and charger are sold separately. It is compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium™ batteries; with the recommended 6.0Ah battery it runs up to 90 minutes on low or up to 15 minutes on high. Included are the vacuum tube, leaf bag, blower tube, tapered nozzle and shoulder strap.
