5 Alternatives to the EGO Power+ LB6150 Leaf Blower

If you want to stay in the same battery ecosystem but get more blowing power, the EGO Power+ LB7654 is the closest premium upgrade. It delivers 765 CFM versus the LB6150’s 615 CFM, so it’s better for larger gardens, long drives, and clearing heavy, damp leaves that are common in UK autumns. The downside is price: at £614.62 it’s far more expensive, and it includes a battery and charger you may not need if you already own EGO gear. Choose this if performance matters more than value.

The EGO POWER+ LB6504 sits in a similar sweet spot, offering 650 CFM and including a 5.0Ah battery and charger. Compared with the LB6150, it’s a more complete bundle and a better pick for buyers starting from scratch. It will feel more expensive at £556.43, but that price makes more sense if you don’t already have compatible batteries. It’s slightly stronger than the LB6150, though not enough to justify the cost unless you want the convenience of an all-in-one kit.

The SEESII Mini Chainsaw Cordless 6 Inch is not a direct leaf blower replacement, but it is a useful alternative if your real job is pruning rather than clearing leaves. At £47.45, it’s dramatically cheaper than the EGO blower and ideal for light branch cutting, rose pruning, or tidying overgrown shrubs in smaller UK gardens. What it cannot do is replace a blower for patios, lawns, or leaf piles. Choose it only if your priority is cutting, not clearing.

The SEESII 8 Inch Mini Cordless Chainsaw is the better option of the two SEESII tools for heavier pruning. With twin 4000mAh batteries and a 900W motor, it handles thicker branches more confidently than the 6-inch model. It’s still a budget pruning tool rather than a premium garden machine, but at £64.58 it offers strong value for occasional tree and hedge maintenance. Like the smaller SEESII, it’s irrelevant if you specifically need a blower for leaves, gravel paths, or decking.

The Stihl MS 170 is in a completely different category: it’s a petrol chainsaw, not a blower, and it’s best for serious cutting work such as logs, storm damage, and thicker branches. At £308.00, it’s far more specialist than the LB6150 and far less convenient for quick garden clean-ups. It’s the right choice for users who need reliable cutting power and don’t mind fuel, servicing, and noise. For most UK homeowners with a typical suburban garden, it’s overkill unless you regularly manage larger trees or firewood.

Overall, the LB6150 remains the best value if you already have EGO batteries and want a strong cordless blower without paying for extras you don’t need. The alternatives only make more sense if you want more power, a battery bundle, or a completely different tool for pruning and cutting.
