A lawn care expert is raving online after putting the new EGO Leaf Vacuum/Blower through a thorough test demonstration and declaring it one of the best cleanup tools on the market.

In a recent video, Machinery Nation (@MachineryNation) demonstrates how the battery-powered vacuum performs across real-world messes like wood shavings, dirt, leaves, and even gravel. The demonstration shows that the electric tool can hold its own against gas-powered gear.

As the reviewer explains, "It delivers petrol-equivalent performance without the noise and emissions. … It is designed to shift anything from light debris to heavy piles of leaves with ease. The 16-to-1 mulching ratio packs shredded leaves neatly into the 40-liter collection bag, saving you time and effort." 

They add that the machine "makes garden cleanups faster, cleaner, and easier than ever."

After a full round of testing, they conclude: "Overall, very, very good blower and definitely recommend it."

Electric yard tools like EGO's lineup are becoming more and more popular among homeowners and professionals — and for good reason. They cost less to run, since electricity is typically cheaper than gasoline. 

They also require minimal maintenance compared to two-stroke engines. Plus, ditching gas-powered tools means better air quality in your community and fewer health risks from exhaust exposure while operating the vacuum.

Viewers were quick to agree with the reviewer's verdict and share their own tips and observations. 

"The best uses for these are window wells, stair wells, covered patios and small nooks and crannies," one commenter wrote. "Currently I use the echo shredder vac for landscape maintenance jobs and it's great for when blowing all the weekly leaf and small twig debris into a corner or several corners of the property and then vacuuming it up."
