Huge power, but the price makes this blower a hard buy right now

Is the EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower LB6504 worth buying? Yes for buyers who want top-tier cordless blowing power and are willing to pay for it, but no if value matters most at the current £572.52 price. With a 4.5/5 rating from 4,486 reviews, it has a strong reputation, yet the current price is 19.3% above the £479.70 average and far above the £337.25 lowest recorded price.

What do you get for the money?

The headline spec is up to 650 CFM and up to 180 MPH, which puts this blower at the powerful end of the cordless market. EGO also includes a 56V 5.0Ah battery and charger, so unlike the cheaper LB6150 competitor, you are not buying into the tool-only model. The variable speed trigger lets you work between 225 and 500 CFM, while the lock-on dial helps reduce fatigue on longer jobs. EGO claims up to 90 minutes runtime from the included battery, though the product description also mentions up to 75 minutes of continuous runtime, so the real-world figure clearly depends on mode and load.

How does it perform in the garden?

For UK gardens, this is the sort of blower that makes sense if you regularly deal with wet autumn leaves, matted grass clippings, gravel paths, or heavier debris after storms. The turbo mode is the main attraction: 650 CFM at 180 MPH is strong enough for clearing damp leaf piles and shifting stubborn material that weaker blowers leave behind. The brushless motor should also help with efficiency, lower vibration, and longer motor life, which matters if you use it frequently through autumn and winter.

That said, the power comes with a caveat: this is a premium tool aimed at large or demanding jobs. In a small courtyard, tidy townhouse garden, or light patio clean-up, the output may be more than you need. The speed control is useful because it lets you back off from full power, but the purchase price still only makes sense if you will actually use the extra capacity.

Is it better than the EGO LB6150?

Compared with the EGO Power+ LB6150, which costs £149.00 and is rated 4.6/5, the LB6504 is a very different proposition. The LB6150 offers 615 CFM and is much cheaper, but it is sold without battery and charger. The LB6504 adds the included 56V 5.0Ah battery and charger, plus a higher peak output of 650 CFM, so the premium is partly paying for a complete kit and partly for more performance.

If you already own EGO batteries, the LB6150 is the more sensible buy. If you are starting from scratch and want a ready-to-go setup, the LB6504 is more convenient, but the current price makes it difficult to recommend as value-led purchase.

Is the build quality likely to be good?

The available data points to a well-engineered tool: a high-efficiency brushless motor, variable speed control, and a design built around extended runtime rather than short bursts of power. The 4.5-star average from 4,486 reviews also suggests the blower has earned broad trust from buyers. The low vibration claim is especially relevant for anyone clearing a driveway, lawn edges, or paths for extended periods.

Is it good value for money?

At £572.52, no, not currently. The price history is the biggest red flag here: the current price is above the £479.70 average, and the lowest ever recorded price was £337.25. That means you are paying a substantial premium versus both its own historical pricing and the broader EGO lineup. The product is powerful and well reviewed, but the present asking price is hard to justify unless you need it immediately.

What should UK buyers consider before choosing it?

For a typical UK garden, especially one with a lawn, borders, and a driveway, this blower is most compelling if you regularly clear wet leaves in October to February and want a cordless option that can replace a petrol blower. If your garden is small or you only blow paths occasionally, the cost and power level are overkill. Buyers on a tighter budget should look at the LB6150 at £149.00 if they already have batteries, or consider whether they need a blower this powerful at all.

Bottom line

The LB6504 is a seriously capable cordless blower with the kind of power that makes autumn cleanup easier, faster, and less frustrating. But at £572.52, it is priced well above its average and nowhere near its lowest recorded cost, so the timing is poor unless performance matters more than value.
