Pretty impressive - but not perfect. I have had a Stihl blower for many years and it is my favorite bit of gardening kit. The engine started playing up and I thought I would take a chance on the Milwaukee as I already had a selection of their 18v batteries. It is almost as powerful as a petrol blower and is not as heavy. The 'pickup and blow' nature of the item is great - you get full power almost immediately when you squeeze the trigger. The downsides are that it is not perfectly balanced and the runtime on a 5Ah battery is about 20mins. Great for DIYers maybe limited for professionals (unless used as a backup or you are of a Green persuasion)

Lots of power and battery life more than sufficient for a good sized lawn. Only gripe would be with the weight balance at the handle - ok to carry but uncomfortable to offset the force of blowing.

WOW 😱HAVE JUST GIVEN THIS A DRY RUN,LITERALLY HAS BLOWN ME AWAY WITH THE POWER, TRIED IT IN THE LIVING ROOM, NEARLY BLOWN MY COCKER SPANIEL ACROSS THE ROOM.WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Had debated buying yet another 2 stroke blower but, since I already had some Milwaukee fuel tools I took the plunge with this one, no more messing with petrol / oil & pull cords!Was surprised how powerful this is, had to use the lower speed otherwise it blew my pebbles away aswell as the leaves!Running on a 12AH battery, impressive!

Brilliant replacement for my temperamental petrol blower.

Bought this blower to replace a temperamental petrol blower, as I have other Milwaukee products and hence batteries and charger. What a eureka moment! No petrol or oil issues! It has two speed settings and the lower setting is perfect for everyday use. The higher setting was really surprisingly powerful, although it did chew through my 5.0 Ah batteries. All in all very pleased with the performance and ease of use of this blower.

If Argos made tools...

Feels plasticky like a childs toy.(-7) BUT the box it came in is probably going to last longer and our cats are enjoying its build quality .(+1) The blower EATS batteries , a 5 amp battery will not last a minute on full power. It probably will do a job for you but I perhaps was expecting something better. I have recently used some Makita 18v gear and the build quality plus performance are better than Milwaukee IMO.Cheaper too. 4/10 overall.

Milwaukee M18 Fuel FBL-0 18v Brushless Blower Body Only

Phenomenal leaf blower for a battery powered one. On fast the 4mah battery lasts about 6 minutes and about 17 on slower. There is a button to switch between the 2 modes. Or you can adjust the power with the trigger. I’m more than happy with this beast.

Milwaukee M18FBL-0 18v Cordless Blower Brushless Fuel Leaf Blower Body

This is a lightweight but powerful blower, with two speed settings. The lower speed is useful for blowing debris from awkward places without blasting it everywhere. It balances well in the hand, even with the heavy 12aH battery attached. The black delivery tube is very easy to install, and to remove for transporting. All in all it exceeds my expectationsof it.

Works well & really good value

I already have a Stihl 2 stroke BG86 which is the more powerful of the two handheld blowers they make. However for regular quick cleanups around the patio and drive this Milwaukee is much more convenient, no hassle starting and the smooth variable power is fantastic for corners and awkward places whereas the Stihl just blasts everything everywhere. I would say it has about 75% of the Stihls power, completely adequate for a small/medium garden and power for price (if you already have batteries & charger) its way better. Would also be great for gently fanning a garden fire - with adequate precautions !!!! I obviously cant comment on durability at this stage but judging from all the other Milwaukee products I have is should last a very long time

Works well for smaller applications

Used for blowing a few gardens grass off, workshop and courtyard on farm. Works well and is sturdy. I use 5ah battery's and get about 5 mins per battery. No 9ah battery needed as the YouTube videos will lead you to believe. Good bit of kit.
