5 Alternatives to the EGO LB7654 Leaf Blower: Cheaper, Lighter and More Targeted Options

1) EGO Power+ LB6150 615 CFM Variable-Speed 56-Volt Cordless Leaf Blower — £149.00

This is the obvious value pick if you already own EGO 56V batteries and charger. Compared with the LB7654, it gives up a lot of top-end airflow and raw clearing power, but it’s dramatically cheaper because it’s tool-only. For typical UK gardens with patios, paths, light leaf fall and weekly grass clippings, 615 CFM is still plenty. What’s better: the lower price, lighter outlay, and full compatibility with the EGO battery ecosystem. What’s worse: you must already have batteries, and it won’t match the LB7654 when you’re clearing wet autumn leaves from large lawns or dragging debris out of gravel beds. Choose this if you want EGO performance without paying for another battery kit.

2) EGO POWER+ LB6504 650 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower with 56V 5.0Ah Battery and Charger — £556.43

This is the closest true alternative to the main product because it includes the same kind of battery-and-charger bundle, but at a lower price. It’s still a premium blower, yet the 650 CFM output is a step down from the LB7654’s headline power. In real-world use, that means slightly less brute force on heavy, damp leaf piles, but it remains strong enough for most medium and larger gardens, especially in autumn and after hedge trimming. What’s better: lower cost while still getting a ready-to-go kit. What’s worse: not quite as aggressive for big clear-ups, so you lose some “one pass and done” performance. Choose this if you want the convenience of an included battery but don’t need the absolute top EGO blower.

3) SEESII 8 Inch Mini Cordless Chainsaw with 2×4000mAh Batteries — £64.58

This is not a leaf blower, but it can be a smart alternative if your real problem is pruning rather than leaf clearing. Compared with the LB7654, it’s far more specialised and much cheaper, but it does a completely different job. It’s better for cutting back small branches, tidying shrubs, and dealing with storm damage on trees and hedges. What’s better: huge savings, compact size, and useful for cutting tasks in a small UK garden. What’s worse: it won’t move leaves, grass clippings or debris, and it’s not a substitute for a blower if you want to keep patios and driveways clean. Choose this instead if you were really looking for a garden tidy-up tool and branch cutter, not a blower.

4) SEESII Mini Chainsaw Cordless 6 Inch with 2×4000mAh Batteries — £47.45

This cheaper mini saw is for budget-conscious gardeners who need occasional pruning help. Against the LB7654, it has none of the clearing power, but it’s useful for light-duty cutting around borders, fruit trees and small limbs. What’s better: very low price and battery included, making it a handy backup tool for occasional jobs. What’s worse: limited cutting capacity and build quality compared with premium garden brands, so it’s not ideal for frequent, heavy use. Choose this if your main need is inexpensive pruning support rather than blowing leaves off a larger lawn or driveway.

5) Stihl MS 170 Chainsaw — £308.00

Another non-blower alternative, the MS 170 is a proper petrol chainsaw for people who need cutting power more than blowing power. Compared with the LB7654, it’s less about tidy-up convenience and more about serious wood-cutting jobs. It’s better for logs, thicker branches and regular rural or large-garden maintenance, especially if you’re dealing with overgrown hedging or fallen limbs after winter weather. What’s better: proven cutting performance, good for bigger pruning and firewood tasks. What’s worse: it’s noisier, requires fuel and maintenance, and doesn’t help with leaf clearance at all. Choose this if your garden work leans toward cutting rather than cleaning, and you want a durable tool for tougher seasonal jobs.
