Complete failure after 15 minutes
There is a terrific sadness upon being born as an EGO Power+ LB6504 650 CFM Variable-Speed 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Leaf Blower.
You were bred as the alpha male of leaf blowers. And your training is rigorous. From the start they drill into you two "core truths": 1) Leaves are low-lives and 2) You, leaf blower, must cleanse them from this earth - no matter what it takes. Your training seems endless, however effective.
But the sadness.
The sadness is like an ambient noise. It is always there, present. You can't remember a time when it wasn't there -taunting you in the background. Slowly, eating away at you. Sometimes you get lost in a depressive haze thinking about it. "15 minutes. I better make them count" you say to yourself, mentally pacing and contemplative.
One day - you are called forward. You are assigned an address and you arrive at your your front in the war. Glistening, aromatic and proud as you are pulled out of the box - excited to fulfill your mission.
AND THEN THE RUSH.
The "owner" presses your on button. All of your training never prepared you for the RUSH. Your rage is unyielding and powerful. For 15 glorious minutes you get lost in the euphoria of stacked leaf corpses. Unmitigated happiness....
and death.

I, legit, used this thing for 15 minutes one usage. Charged it. And it would not work again on the second use. This is an expensive leaf blower. I'm not gonna spend even a hot second trying to debug this or talk with anyone. That's why I paid $350 for a leaf blower. SO IT WORKS.
Back to Amazon with you. Good riddance.
