This is apparently a Home Depot house brand so nobody else carries them. There are only a few reviews on their site. I'm looking for a battery powered way to dry vehicles. This one looks interesting, the MPH isn't super high but it the CFM rating seems good, especially in turbo mode. $200 though is a big drop for me on something I can't find a single video or real review on.

The full name it is EGO 92 mph 480 CFM 3-Speed Turbo 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Electric Blower
 
it's interesting. I think u should go buy it , try it out , report back . u can always return it if u don't like it . customer satisfaction . I saw 62 reviews of this thing with a 4.6 out of 5 . looks like about 15mins of run time on turbo . 5 year warranty .
 
Hummm, last night I went back to their site and noticed there was a version of this with the battery + charger included that had a ton of reviews. The one I saw 1st only had 4. definitely a lot of great reviews, none of them are car people really. But I guess that should be expected when I'm looking at a leaf blower lol.
 
I have a Toro that (allegedly) puts out 230mph. It's pretty effective, but I'm pushing to get larger SUVs\trucks done before it starts drying on it's own. I wouldn't want to use much less than that, personally.
 
makita has a
18v. 91cfm-179mph
and
36v. 400 cfm-208mph
what's more important cfm or
mph - idk
 
I think that If I were purchasing a cordless tool like this I would maybe try and stick with the same brand for any other tools I might want in the future. If you buy this blower and then go and get a dewalt drill you would never be able to swap batteries. sticking with the same brand allows you to consolidate and only purchase one type of battery.
 
The Ego model doesn't seem overly powerful. I had a B&D one for years that I recently replaced with a Toro (likely same as PapaChop" and it performs much better than the outgoing model. I'm not a fan of Li-ion tools, so perhaps I'm a little biased.
