Review on Snapper 82V MAX PowerGrip Cordless Leaf Blower 700CFM 4.0 Battery Rapid Charger by Ray Cole

I bought this for my 86-year-old dad. He was tired of fighting to get his gas-powered blower to start and thought a batter-operated version would work better for him. He's thrilled with it. Nearly every time we speak, he's telling me stories about how powerful it is and how long it has been since he's charged the battery.He's used it to blow dirt, grass, leaves and even pine cones from beneath his trees. He tried to use it to blow off some floor mats in his garage but he ended up blowing them out the door instead. :)I had an opportunity to use it too and found it to be as good as he was claiming. It is well-balanced and easy to carry. The battery is easy to charge and remove/insert from the blower. And, most importantly, it has a lot of blowing power. We were concerned that it wouldn't work as well as a gas-powered blower but that isn't the case. It's fairly quiet so ear protectors probably aren't required (but I'd still recommend them).
