Solid leaf blower. It is a bit front heavy with the tube. I use it with the tube removed and it is much easier to handle when drying. Might be loosing a few cfms without it but it still works great for drying the vehicle and blowing grass clippings. Btw, dig the channel and your presentation! I built a similar wash setup with an AR Blue Clean 630 and added a spot free DI rinse system.
Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. I put at least one video out a week and have some good plans for the channel. Glad you stopped by to check it out.
the time when you have to literally follow behind debris every 10 ft is finally over, this thing can literally blow everything across to the neighbor's lawn in one shot, love it, btw cool special effects at 5:39 it'll blow u away , yeah !!
I have the 650CFM unit, It is great. I understand a new smaller tip will be coming in the future. If you have direct contact with the manufacturer, I would further suggest that the new have a tip that rotates. With the world of SUVs it would make it much easier to rotate the tip down instead of climbing up a ladder. I love the blower, it does a great job.
Yeah that’s a great idea. I don’t have any contacts. I just bought it on one of my detailing shopping sprees Lol and tried it out and I am really impressed all around. I want to modify it to have a shorter snout. That would help with the ergonomics for what we do. Thanks for watching.
I bought the 530cfm and not even one day later returned it and got the 650 cfm. Glad I did. The 530 had good power but the larger battery, attachments, and the noticeable power increase of the 650 made the upgrade really worth it. I just hope these blowers will last for the long haul !
Interested in your comment. I ALMOST bought the 530, but now considering the 650 not so much for the extra power, but because of the 2.4 aH battery vs the 5.0 aH battery. Did you notice a big different in the run time of the two?
Awesome video!! Just bought my 650 today and battery is charging now. You're a real natural at this so, please keep the momentum going! Definitely recommending your channel to family and co-workers!
Great review brother! I’m looking at the 615 which would probably be enough but you definitely convinced me on the 650. Still not sure but either one will be a W. Thanks man, ✌🏻
I hate to say it but I bought a Ryobi and hate the thing. The problem is this thing is so expensive in Australia, but I'm sure it's worth it, my Ryobi is one of the higher range models yet still barely blows water off my coated car. Eventually this will be my upgrade for sure!
I was going to go buy this because I have been looking for an air dry method of drying my cars. It looks great from your video, but the Amazon reviews are highly concerning. Seems like a good amount of people having the exact same issue. Either a bad batch or manufacturer defect with it shorting itself out upon first few uses. Hopefully they fix it and I will buy one.
Always a concern buying from amazon. Especially for electronics. I bought mine (ego 650) from lowes and have had zero problems. It blows my gas powered leaf blower away without any smoke or fumes. This is one of my favorite tools. Ego make excellent products.
@@HawaiiDetailing it is pretty nice. I just ordered myself the stubby nozzle for it too. Can't wait to give that a try but this thing definitely works great. Saved me a bunch of time drying my car and it got all the drip zones and hard to dry areas. It is loud, definitely need to remember to wear ear plugs.
I'm on the fence with this leaf blower. There are so many poor reviews by verified purchases on Amazon about these things malfunctioning. I'll think about it. Thanks for this review though! Man I like this channel. It always puts me in a easygoing mood. Totally subscribed!
Totally dig your channel! I appreciate your review of the EGO 650 Blower. What's your thoughts on a ESOTERIC Bigboi Blower Mini+? It would be great to get your take on this unit and compare it to the EGO 650 Blower.
Thanks man. So is your process to use the ego for the bulk drying then towel then finish with the sidekick and towel? Or do you avoid towels altogether ?
Informative Video...Thanks. Say, can you attach the small 'Nozzles' to the Blower withOUT the longer tube? Meaning so you have a shorter more controllable unit to work with?
No it does not attach. It’s different. I considered cutting the tube down to a reasonable size and reattaching the end piece. Have not got around to it. Thanks for watching.
Check out my website. It has all my processes and links to everything that I use. If you have any questions after that let me know. Thanks www.hawaiidetailing.com
I reviewed the Popoman. Check it out. It’s pretty good for the price point but there are better ones out there. I use my electric Rupes most of the time.
Thank you. My car is less than 3 weeks old and it’s been raining a lot. I washed it today for the first time and see water spots towards the front of the hood. What do you recommend to get the spots off?
My 650 came with a 4.0 battery and I think that has been swappped out by someone who works in the store cause it's supposed to have a 5.0 battery. Also, it drained that battery in less than 30 minutes cleaning out my gutters using turbo. Is that normal?
I want this bad boy but, I don't think I can justify the price. The corded one is like 100 and just as strong, I totally get that being cordless is a HUGE value though. Have you tried the lower price Ego's and do they perform just as good?
great video! I have a Karcher K5 power washer but i want to convert the K5 hose end, which is for their spray gun only, to a quick release nozzle attachment as I have a hand held power washer spray gun with a male tip on the bottom. I cant find anyone that sells a german Karcher K5 end hose adapter. The Karcher end hose is very different and only works in the Karcher spray gun. Any thoughts?
I think I need one of these. I hae an electric one,but,it does not get all the water out of places that drip/ leaks water which annoys Me. Thanks for sharing this with us.
You are welcome. It’s a great leaf blower. Extremely powerful. It has a high pitch whine when using it but that’s par for that amount of air blowing out of it. Much quieter than gas. You will like it for sure.
Have you seen the new line of power tools called Flex? I believe they're in the same ego family. Grey and green color scheme would totally match your garage
I have the 650 and I have used it a few times. I don’t know if I’m just paranoid but I’m worried it may be damaging the paint or glass from blowing on it outside with potential dirt that could get blown. What do you think? Do you think it is safe?
I think it’s very safe. There is a lot of talk on this topic but the bottom line is if you are not blowing dirt up from a unfinished driveway or something like that than there is no reason to be concerned. A good tip would be to blow the driveway clean before pulling the car in for the wash if you want to be extra cautious. Thanks for watching.
Dnt hve to wxrry about chewing. I’ve even thght about coming up wth a way or lke hvng a little prop thng on the exhaust point tht can create or generate energy to put power to the blower to power the generator is/as all
I run it in turbo mode so I can get 2 cars out of it easy. I usually charge it after each car so it’s always topped off so I don’t have exact numbers. It claims 90 mins in low power and 15 mins in turbo. That seems correct but I have never tested those claims. I will revisit this machine in a future update and test these times. Thanks
can this be operated without the tube? I'm planning to use it just for dusting off the car but with those long tubes attached seems much of a hassle. thanks for posting this
@@HawaiiDetailing of you search stubby ego on TH-cam shop tools reviews made a video showing how to trim the nozzle there's another one selling 3d printed nozzles but they aren't the flat nose one I believe the flat nose will work better for drying a car since it concentrates the air better
I thinks it is extra money that does not benefit my situation. I can do 2 cars with 1 battery. If I needed more than 2 cars worth of battery I would just charge it while I wash the cars and probably be able to do a third car. If I were running a pro detail shop doing a very high volume of cars I would definitely consider spending the money on 2 batteries and a rapid charger. Hope that helps.
I take that as a compliment. Hahaha. If only I could afford that. I try to show the best I can find and also test and show a low cost alternative. That’s my thing. Is there a better solution in these categories that I am unaware of? Thanks for watching

The 650 is the way to go. It should last a long time as a brushless motor. Battery will probably go first.

Love your videos! Nice to see reviews on tools like this along with all the great car detailing/car product videos.
Thanks. I appreciate it
I purchased a Dewalt blower; as I have a lot of tools with them and lots of batteries. It really does help with drying the cars faster.
Yes. For sure.

I’m wondering whether the 650 is enough.
Thanks man. So is your process to use the ego for the bulk drying then towel then finish with the sidekick and towel? Or do you avoid towels altogether ?
I use the blower for most of the job. Follow up with a drying aid and a towel as needed. Thanks for watching

I reviewed the Popoman. Check it out. It’s pretty good for the price point but there are better ones out there. I use my electric Rupes most of the time.
wow that thing is strong, would like to see this thing dry and airplane that is being washed
Yeah that would be a good test. Thanks for watching.
I prefer electric plug n blowers n stead, like whts st/@ car washes or whts in rooftops
I have the 530 for 3 years now. No problems whatsoever. Hard decision the 530 does everything I need or do I need to upgrade to the 650.
The 530 is a great machine also. I would only upgrade if you feel that it is not working for you. Thanks for watching.
I’m looking at getting the 650. I just saw that there is a 715 as well. Have you ever tried that one before?
I have not tried that one. They are all plenty powerful and I would get one that has the battery you want. The small battery does 1 car really well.
Thank you.
My car is less than 3 weeks old and it’s been raining a lot. I washed it today for the first time and see water spots towards the front of the hood. What do you recommend to get the spots off?
Do you still use this to dry cars? Or do you use drying agent and towels?
Both. Even with the blower you need a good topper like drying aid. The blower gets 90% but there are some drippings.
I have the 765 I want to try it on my car but without a filter does it intake debris in the air and blow back onto the car?
Hey would the new ego 765 be better to dry a car than the 650? I saw mixed reviews on the 650 not lasting long thanks for any advise
I have not tried the 765. Might be god but might be loud? If you try it out let me know how it goes. thanks for watching

30 mins in turbo is a good run on that battery.

I have not tried them. Sorry.
Spend the extra money, you wont miss it a few months later and will be glad you did. For this tool, the 650 is a big difference.
Should I go with the 615 CFM with the 2.5AH battery or the 580 CFM with the 5.0Ah battery? Ill only be using it for drying my vehicle.
I think the 615 with the small battery works well for one car. I have one and have no problems. Thanks for watching

How well does it dry a vehicle that isn’t coated?
With some spray protection it works great too. If your paint does not bead and repel water it does not work well.
Why you don’t do a video of the time it takes to dry a entire car? Please do in turbo mode
Good idea. Thanks for watching
Can you use this to blow light snow? Wet snow?
I am not sure. Light dry snow maybe. Heavy wet snow I would say no.
