You can compare blowers directly by using Blowing Force. Blowing Force has to be measured in a lab, but it can be approximated as CFM*MPH/1800 which gives you a value in Newtons (N). (assuming no dumb math errors) EGO+ 765 is 765*200/3900 or 39.2N Toro 900 is 900*165/3900 or 38.1N So the EGO+ is about 3% "stronger" than the Toro. Ok, you can also use pound-force (or lbf), in which case it's CFM*MPH/550, EGO+ 765 is then 281 lbf Toro 900 is then 272 lbf EDIT: Given the real world test showing a blowing force for the EGO+ of 26.5N, you can see why it actually has to be measured in the lab. But for a quick comparison... Well, you could actually just use CFM*MPH, but that's a big number!
@@Kitearmy I wish it was as easy as CFM times MPH. But intake design, nozzle design, and other factors greatly affect blowing force. But we need to do is get Mark Rober to apply computational fluid dynamics to the problem.
Thanks for making this video as it prompted me to do a bit of research on both CFM & MPH and how each contribute to the performance of a leaf blower. Learn something today! Would like to see the EGO 800CFM @ 200MPH vs the EGO 765CFM @ 200MPH test.
The nozzles supplied with my Ego 650 CFM blower don’t optimize its performance. I had a hunch that I could do better, so I 3-D printed alternatives. After testing them, I realize that Ego and other leaf blower manufacturers are missing a key to significantly enhance performance.
I’ve had 200+ mph leaf blowers that necked down at the outlet to reach those speeds. It was like trying to move leaves by blowing through a straw. As the man said, a combination of speed and CFM does the work. I don’t know which of these would work better in the real world, but you probably wouldn’t go wrong either way.
Great. Maybe test against the Husqvarna handheld 350IB with claimed 800cfm and 200mph. Seems like many manufacturers are making claims they might not be able to back up.
Can you test it doing tasks it was intended to do such as moving wet leaves, pine cones, switch grass, and other landscape debris? Which one is more balanced? Battery run time? Noise level?
@@Kitearmy Very interested in the lever control on the opposite side of the deck high lever with 5 settings for the new Precision Mulch (sliding the build-in mulch plug door to control the ratio of airflow between mulching & bagging/rear side discharging) and how well this feature would perform during the tests. There are times that I wish I have the rear side discharge chute with me when mulching with the 22" aluminum LM2206SP just to lift some lazy grass blades up for a good even cut instead the need of getting the trimmer later. On mulching I set the cut height to #5 and on rear left side discharge I set the cut height to #6 and both gets me 3" cut height result. I see all the grass blade tips surrounding the mower deck pulling towards the cutting deck when using the rear left side discharging chute or the bag on the 22" mower (21" rear discharge chute on my retro-fitted Select Cut LM2100SP & Peak Power LM2240SP with same XP motor as LM2156SP running with 12.0Ah batteries are still only able to shoot grass clips to ~ 1 feet away vs shooting 6 feet on the 22" discharging chute) while when using the mulching plug all the grass blade tips surrounding the cutting deck are all pushed away from the mower. would be nice to be able to control the balance of the airflow depending on the grass type, ground pitch angle & seasons.
Nice! When is the EGO 1000 CFM coming out? That one has a lower MPH rating than the 765 blower. Curious to see how it compares and if it can beat its 765 sibling. For future consideration: EGO 765 vs Husqvarna 350i : 200 mph / 800 CFM (only rated at 11.6 N??) EGO vs KRESS KG560 or its CAT clone (800 CFM, 135 MPH)
I had the Husqvarna 800CFM blower and it's all hype. What they don't tell you that as soon as the battery power starts depleting so does the blowing force. I was so upset that I returned it the same week after I bought it!
Idk, I have my 2.5 amp hour batteries for the last five years and they are still going strong. I will note that exposure to chronic heat does seem to impact them more. Maybe it's a heat thing?
I had a corded blower. They are actually very weak because only about 12 amps or 1400 watts continuous is available from a typical 15amp outlet, and you need to use a heavy extension cords to carry that much power very far. That much power is less than 28 amps from an Ego battery and the bigger batteries easily do double that. If your yard is small enough for a corded blower you can probably get by with one of the smallest Ego models (i.e. the 530 cfm uses much less battery than the 765) or even an 18v Ryobi blower (cheap batteries).
@@Sylvan_dB I use the Toro and Worx corded blowers. Better than the battery powered blowers the company is buying. I don't have to worry about charging batteries when there is a lot of cleaning work. So you're comparing the older corded blowers.
@@heresteven yes but I also hate the hassle of a long cord. its much easier for me to just charge the battery each time I'm done using it. I have multiple batteries that came with the tools and always have a battery fully charged on the charger. everyone has a different opinion of convince

Love to see the same test done with the Enhulk 58V Powerful Blower, 930 CFM Max, and 200 mph and compare that to the Ego 765.
Lots have recommended that I test that blower - I wish it was more popular
You could make it more popular!
@@aaronconklin5261 true - they don't have the options that EGO has. Let me think about it
Calculating Blowing Force, the Enhulk would be 47.7N or 341 lbf or about 20% stronger than EGO+ 765

I was going to mention the 350iB which is a sleeper. Very underrated.
Wow, I am surprised and so happy I do not need to consider a new battery platform! 😁
Me too! Toro's "platform" has no Ebike
@@Kitearmy 😂
How about the double battery back pack ego 800cdm vs the handheld 765cfm?
Ego still the champ! 💪🏽 can’t wait for the 880 model to come out.
You and me both!
Can you test it doing tasks it was intended to do such as moving wet leaves, pine cones, switch grass, and other landscape debris? Which one is more balanced? Battery run time? Noise level?
EGO wins all of those categories - In fact the noise from the Toro is annoying
Great video. Do you think Milwaukee will ever come out with a similar blower to compete with Toro an Eco?
They make great blowers but the batteries just dont have the capacity to run blowers beyond 600cfm
Interesting test I know that Cfm moves more mass but the ego 1000cfm blower won't be out until next year....guess I'll pick up the 765 ego blower
Let me know what you think - BTW I have seen it on my link above drop to $265

Carmin called, they want to swap their Tordedor with an Ego!
Carmin's a smart man
Ego builds such great products. No one in the market performs like EGO!! Love your videos!!
Thanks mate - great to have you :)
If you like screeching drive mechanisms on your mower!
I'm curious how the beach ball test would look like
Coming soon - sometimes this small differences in power don't show up in the BBBB
Cool.
I would like to see Ego go up against a noise/air polluting gas powered blower.
I keep on thinking about that - but not sure that revisiting the past is worthwhile
Thats was not a fair comparison, you need to out the toro on turbo mode to really compare them and do other test not juat one
they were both on turbo - otherwise that would not have been fair
All we need now is a battery replacement program. after 5 years of use they lose much of their power.
That would be great - even a refurbished replacement deal
