For wet leaves under $250, the Greenworks 80V model offers the highest listed airflow at 770 CFM. For a lower price and stronger listed airspeed, the EGO 615 CFM model specifies up to 170 MPH. These figures describe different aspects of airflow, so they do not establish a direct performance ranking.
All four options include a battery and charger in the published product details. Choose by cleanup style: blower-only simplicity, a vacuum and mulcher, included battery capacity, or listed airflow.

| Model | Listed airflow and speed | Battery and runtime details | Notable tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greenworks 80V Electric Leaf Blower, 770 CFM | 770 CFM; up to 180 MPH | 4.0Ah battery; up to 80 minutes at 50% load, per product details | Highest listed CFM; blower only |
| Greenworks 48V (24V x 2) 520CFM Leaf | 520 CFM; up to 240 MPH | Two 4.0Ah batteries; runtime not specified | Blower, vacuum, and mulcher; 12:1 reduction claim |
| EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 530 CFM | 530 CFM; up to 110 MPH | 56V 2.5Ah battery; up to 75 minutes, per product details | Lower listed CFM than other options |
| EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 615 CFM | 615 CFM; up to 170 MPH | 56V 2.5Ah battery; up to 75 minutes average, per product details | Lowest price; blower only |
Prices and performance figures above come from published product details. Runtime figures are manufacturer claims, not independent test results. Actual runtime can vary with speed setting and workload. Compare CFM and MPH as separate specifications; neither alone predicts how quickly a blower will move every wet-leaf pile.
How to choose for wet leaves
- Prioritize listed airflow: The Greenworks 80V lists 770 CFM and up to 180 MPH. It sits near the top of the budget, leaving little room for other accessories.
- Want a vacuum and mulcher: The Greenworks 48V kit switches between blower and vacuum/mulcher modes without tools, according to its product details. It includes two 4.0Ah batteries and lists a 12:1 leaf-reduction ratio. Those features may suit collected leaves, but its 520 CFM listing is lower than the other three models.
- Want the lowest listed price: The EGO 615 CFM model lists up to 615 CFM and 170 MPH. Its included 2.5Ah battery is smaller by stated capacity than the Greenworks kits’ 4.0Ah batteries, but battery capacity alone does not establish comparative runtime.
- Prefer a variable-speed control: Both EGO models list variable-speed controls. The 530 CFM version lists up to 530 CFM and 110 MPH; the 615 CFM version lists up to 615 CFM and 170 MPH.
Product details and tradeoffs
Greenworks 80V Electric Leaf Blower, 770 CFM
This is the highest-priced option in the group, but it also has the highest listed airflow: 770 CFM, with airspeed up to 180 MPH. The kit includes a 4.0Ah battery and charger. Greenworks claims up to 80 minutes of runtime when tested at 50% load. The product details describe variable speed and cruise control. Consider it if airflow and the stated battery capacity matter more than vacuum capability or a lower purchase price.
Compare other leaf blower options for pine needles if that debris is also part of your cleanup.
Greenworks 48V (24V x 2) 520CFM Leaf
This kit lists 520 CFM and up to 240 MPH. It includes two 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port charger, but no runtime figure is listed. Its main distinction is the tool-free conversion between blower and vacuum/mulcher modes. The listed 12:1 reduction ratio is a product claim, not a measure of how much wet debris the unit can handle per session. Choose it when vacuum collection and mulching are useful; skip it if you need a blower-only tool or prioritize the highest CFM figure.
EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 530 CFM
This blower lists up to 530 CFM and 110 MPH, with a 56V 2.5Ah battery and charger included. Product details claim up to 75 minutes per charge. Its variable-speed dial provides a lower listed range of 260 to 400 CFM before turbo mode. Compared with the 615 CFM EGO model, it has lower peak airflow and costs slightly more; its listed control range may matter more to buyers who want to adjust airflow for different surfaces.
EGO POWER+ Leaf Blower, Cordless Electric 615 CFM
This is the least expensive option. It lists up to 615 CFM and 170 MPH, and includes a 56V 2.5Ah battery and charger. Product details claim up to 75 minutes of average runtime. Its trigger and lock-on dial cover speeds from 200 to 480 CFM, with turbo mode listed for peak airflow. It suits buyers seeking a lower upfront price and higher listed airflow than the 530 CFM EGO model. It does not offer vacuum or mulching modes.
Decision
Pick the Greenworks 80V if you want the highest listed CFM and can spend close to $250. Choose the Greenworks 48V kit if vacuuming and mulching are priorities. The EGO 615 CFM is the lower-cost blower-only choice; the EGO 530 CFM offers adjustable airflow with lower listed peak figures. If wet leaves are matted or especially heavy, confirm the product’s operating guidance and consider moving them in smaller sections rather than assuming a single specification guarantees results.

Pros
- Strong 770 CFM output handles demanding leaf and wet-debris clearing.
- Cordless 80V platform avoids gas fumes and fuel-related upkeep.
Cons
- The 39.84-inch length may need more storage room than compact blowers.
- Listed 80-minute runtime is based on 50% load, so heavier continuous use may reduce runtime.
