A premium cordless blower with huge power — but a very high price

Yes — the EGO Power+ LB7654 is worth buying if you want top-tier cordless blowing power, but only if you can justify the £614.73 price and already value the EGO battery platform. At 4.5/5 from 3,244 reviews, it has a strong reputation, and the current price is also the all-time lowest recorded, which makes this a better moment to buy than usual.

What stands out first?

The headline figure here is 765 CFM in turbo mode, paired with air speeds up to 200 MPH. That is serious output for clearing damp autumn leaves, grass clippings, hedge trimmings, and heavier debris after a wet UK week. EGO also gives you a variable-speed dial from 260 CFM to 580 CFM, so you are not forced into full power all the time — useful for lighter jobs around borders, patios, and gravel where too much blast can scatter debris.

How does it perform in real garden conditions?

The included 5.0Ah ARC Lithium battery is a major part of the package, and the claimed run time is practical: around 90 minutes overall, with 15 minutes on Turbo and up to 150 minutes on low. For a typical UK suburban garden, that means you can do regular path clearing, lawn tidy-ups, and leaf collection without constantly worrying about the battery. Turbo mode is the setting for wet leaves, mud, rocks, and even snow, but the 15-minute figure shows exactly where the trade-off lies: this is a high-output tool, not one you should expect to run flat-out all afternoon.

The brushless motor should help with efficiency and durability, and the weather-resistant construction is a sensible feature for British conditions where tools are often used in damp, cold, or changeable weather. The ergonomic design and good balance matter too, because a powerful handheld blower can become tiring fast if the weight distribution is poor. EGO also includes both a tapered nozzle and spread nozzle, which improves versatility depending on whether you want concentrated force or broader coverage.

Is it good value for money?

At £614.73, this is expensive, and the comparison set makes that clear. EGO’s own LB6150 blower costs £149.00 but does not include a battery or charger, so the LB7654 premium is partly paying for the 5.0Ah battery and charger bundle. Against the Stihl MS 170 cylinder chainsaw at £308.00, the EGO blower is still far pricier, even though they are different tools; that gap underlines how much you are paying for cordless convenience and high airflow. The current price is 7% below the average of £663.38, and that matters because this product has ranged from £441.80 to £922.06 — so £614.73 is not cheap, but it is better than the long-run norm.

How does it compare to cheaper alternatives?

The LB6150 is the obvious internal comparison: it is cheaper at £149.00 and rated slightly higher at 4.6★, but it is sold without battery and charger and only delivers 615 CFM. If you already own EGO batteries, the LB6150 is the better-value route; if you are starting from scratch and want maximum power in one box, the LB7654 makes more sense. Compared with budget handheld tools like the SEESII Mini Chainsaw Cordless at £47.45, the EGO is in a completely different class for blowing performance, but also in a completely different price bracket.

Build quality and ownership

EGO’s biggest strength is its battery ecosystem: all EGO batteries are compatible with all EGO tools. That makes this blower more appealing if you plan to build a broader cordless garden kit rather than buy a one-off tool. The weather-resistant build, brushless motor, and included nozzles all point to a premium product designed for regular use rather than occasional light cleanup.

The main warning is simple: this is a premium handheld blower with premium pricing, and the turbo runtime is limited. If your garden is small and you only clear a few paths or a compact lawn, the power may be overkill and the cost hard to defend. But if you deal with large leaf fall, wet debris, or want one cordless blower that can handle demanding autumn and winter jobs, the LB7654 delivers the performance to back up its price.
