EGO LB6700 56V 670 CFM Blower: Specs, Pros & Cons

⚡ Overview: EGO’s 670 CFM Handheld for Heavy Cleanup

The EGO LB6700 is a 56V brushless handheld blower that sits near the top of EGO’s single-battery range. EGO rates it at 670 CFM in turbo, up to 180 MPH with the tapered nozzle, and 21 N of push force. A variable-speed trigger with a cruise-control dial handles everyday work, a turbo button handles the stubborn piles, and the tool carries IPX4 weather resistance.

Before you buy, know what the box contains. The LB6700 is a bare tool, so the battery and charger are separate, and EGO recommends a 4.0Ah pack for its 80-minute runtime claim. The kit version is the LB6703. I also found no independent force test for this exact model, and EGO’s US page currently lists both versions as coming soon. This review pulls together the specs, the sources that disagree, how it stacks up against EGO’s other blowers, and who should actually buy it.

Yes, if you have a larger yard or heavy, wet debris and you’re already on EGO’s 56V batteries. It’s rated at 670 CFM with 21 N of claimed force, it includes two nozzles, and it carries a 5-year tool warranty. The battery is extra, it gets heavy with a pack attached, and I found no independent force measurement. Look at the EGO LB7654 if you want the strongest measured force, or the EGO LB5302 kit for a lighter job and a lower total cost.

• Best for: homeowners with a mid-size to large yard, and light-duty pros, who already use EGO 56V batteries and want strong handheld power
• Standout strength: 670 CFM in turbo, a 21 N force claim, two nozzles in the box, and a speed dial plus cruise control for long jobs
• Biggest weakness: it’s a bare tool that gets heavy with a battery on, and turbo drains a pack quickly
• Skip it if: you want a boxed kit for a small yard, or you want independently measured force numbers before you spend

Score basis: raised by the 670 CFM rating, the claimed 21 N of force that lines up with the LB6500’s measured result, the included nozzles, IPX4 protection, and a 5-year tool warranty; lowered by the cost of a separate battery and charger, the weight with a battery attached, no independent force test for this model, a few reports of early failures, and EGO’s page listing it as coming soon. It’s an editorial judgment, not a lab score, and it isn’t based on hands-on testing.

Availability note. EGO’s US page lists both the LB6703 kit and the LB6700 bare tool as “coming soon” and offers a sign-up (checked October 30, 2026). Several dealers still listed the bare tool as in stock in my checks, at prices from about $220 to $255, and a Canadian dealer listed it at $299 CAD. I couldn’t confirm whether a replacement is coming. I couldn’t open Amazon, so check the listing for stock, the seller, and whether it’s the bare tool or the kit. EGO’s warranty applies to products bought from authorized retailers, and reconditioned units carry a shorter warranty.

💨 Power and Airflow: What 670 CFM and 21 N Mean in Practice

Numbers on a box are easy to misread, so it helps to separate them. CFM is the volume of air the blower moves, and it’s what clears a wide swath of light leaves. MPH is how fast that air leaves the nozzle, and it’s what lifts stuck debris. Newtons measure the actual push you can feel on a pile, and that’s why Pro Tool Reviews bench-tests them. EGO gives the LB6700 670 CFM, 180 MPH with the tapered nozzle, and 21 N of push force in turbo.

Here’s the catch with that last number. I found no independent newton measurement for the LB6700, so 21 N is EGO’s claim. It’s worth noting that EGO claims the same 21 N for the LB6500, and Pro Tool Reviews measured that blower at 20.8 N. If the LB6700 behaves the same way, real force would land near 21 N. That’s my inference, not a test result. For context, Pro Tool Reviews treats about 20 N as the rough line where a cordless handheld can replace a gas blower for pros, and its bench test put EGO’s 765 CFM blower above 25 N.

The two nozzles matter more than most buyers expect. EGO says the tapered nozzle concentrates the stream to raise air speed, which is how you get to 180 MPH, and the spread nozzle widens the air for more control. In practice, the tapered nozzle is for stuck leaves, gravel edges, and cracks, while the spread nozzle is for sweeping broad, open ground. Trusted Reviews, which tested the UK LB6700E, called it incredibly powerful and best suited to medium to large gardens, and it liked that you can control speed with either the trigger or the dial. I haven’t used this blower, so I’m passing along their experience, not mine. If you’re comparing options, the current Amazon listing shows what’s bundled.

🔋 Battery, Runtime, and What You’re Buying Into

The LB6700 doesn’t come with a battery, so your real purchase is a blower plus a pack. EGO recommends its 4.0Ah ARC Lithium battery, and that’s the pack behind the 80-minute claim. The same blower takes every EGO 56V battery, from 2.5Ah up to the 12.0Ah pack that EGO lists on its accessory page. A bigger battery gives you more runtime, but you carry it in your hand, which is the main trade-off.

Here’s how much energy each common pack stores, calculated from amp-hours at EGO’s 56V nominal rating. These are theoretical figures for comparison, not runtime promises:

Energy is amp-hours multiplied by 56 V. Real-world runtime depends on the setting, temperature, and battery age.

EGO’s 80-minute figure on a 224 Wh pack works out to about 168 W of average draw, and the dealer’s 160-minute low-speed figure works out to about 84 W. Those are theoretical averages that show how much the setting matters: running the dial low can double your time on a single charge. Turbo is the opposite. An owner-review summary I found mentions heavy-use runs of roughly 15 to 45 minutes, which fits the idea that sustained high settings burn through a pack. That source is an aggregator, so treat the number loosely.

How to get more from one charge

• Use the lowest setting that works. EGO’s own advice is to experiment and find the lowest speed that still gets the job done.
• Save turbo for short bursts. Use it on a stuck pile, then drop back to the dial.
• Use the cruise-control dial. A steady, locked speed is easier to manage than a half-pulled trigger.
• Carry a second pack. Swapping a charged battery beats waiting for a recharge.
• Consider a faster charger. EGO sells a 320 W charger, a 700 W turbo charger, and a dual-port charger.

On cost, EGO tool-only blowers are priced to make the battery the bigger decision. Check the Amazon listing for the current price of the blower and the pack you plan to buy, since I can’t verify prices.

⚖️ Weight, Noise, Build, and Real-World Use

Weight and handling

Bare, the tool is light: about 5 lb according to Ace Hardware, or 2.1 kg (about 4.6 lb) in the UK review. The picture changes once a battery is clipped on. Trusted Reviews measured 4.4 kg with a battery attached and called it heavy for one hand, though it also found the blower chunky but well balanced. Walmart reviewers raise the same point, with weight with a battery attached as the recurring complaint. EGO sells a blower strap (AP5300) that fits the LB6700, and a Backpack Link that moves the battery to your back. EGO describes the link as a universal system for its tools, so confirm compatibility before you buy.

Noise

Listings show 64 to 65 dB, which EGO says is four times quieter than gas. That’s a rating at a distance. Trusted Reviews found the UK version noisy at top speed, which matches what you’d expect from a 670 CFM turbine at full throttle. Wear hearing protection for long sessions, and check your local noise rules.

Build and durability

The LB6700 has a brushless motor and IPX4 weather resistance. Walmart’s review pool is large, with 6,221 ratings and 1,550 reviews, and it’s mostly positive. A few reviewers report failures within a year or long waits for warranty parts. Those are individual reports, not a pattern, but they’re a reminder to buy from an authorized seller so the 5-year warranty applies. I found no formal long-term durability data for the LB6700.

What the numbers suggest, by job

These are reasoned from the specs and test notes, not from my own testing.

• Mid-size to large yards: a strong fit. Pair it with a 5.0Ah or larger battery and a strap.
• Wet or matted leaves: use the tapered nozzle and short turbo bursts. EGO claims it handles wet leaves, caked-on grass, and rocks.
• Driveways, gravel edges, and walkways: the tapered nozzle’s extra air speed helps with stuck debris.
• Open lawns and beds: the spread nozzle covers more ground at lower speed and protects mulch better.
• Pine needles and light debris: the dial on low or medium should do it, and that’s where runtime is longest. This is an inference from the specs.
• Light snow: EGO says its leaf blowers can clear snow. Expect short runtimes on turbo.
• Gutters and tight spots: EGO’s gutter attachment and 7.5-inch short tube fit the LB6700.

⚔️ How the LB6700 Compares

Inside EGO’s blower line

Pro Tool Reviews bench tests are the only measured force numbers I could line up, and they were run at different times. EGO’s 21 N figure for the LB6700 is a manufacturer claim, so treat the ranking as a rough guide, not a like-for-like contest.

Against other brands and platforms

Which EGO handheld should you buy?

The honest answer depends on your yard and your batteries more than on any single spec. If you have a small yard and no EGO batteries, the LB5302 kit is the simpler purchase. If you have a mid-size yard and want a balance of force and cost, the LB5800 or the LB6500 are sensible. If you have a large yard, heavy wet leaves, or you simply want the most force, the LB6700 and the LB7654 are the ones to compare. In the listings I found, the LB6700 bare tool costs about the same as the $229 Pro Tool Reviews listed for the LB7654 bare tool, and the LB7654 measured higher, so price both before you decide.

⭐ Owner Feedback, Pros and Cons

I read owner and tester feedback on several pages. Walmart’s listing shows 6,221 ratings and 1,550 reviews, and the summary flags weight with a battery attached as the main challenge. Reviewers praise the power, the EGO ecosystem, and the move away from gas. A few are critical: one said it felt weaker than their previous EGO blower, one reported a failure within a year, and one was waiting weeks for warranty parts. Trusted Reviews, which tested the UK version, called it very powerful with good runtime on low, and noted that it’s heavy and noisy at top speed. I read only a sample of the review text, so treat this as patterns I saw, not a survey.

The points below are my analysis of the specs and sources above:

🎯 Who Should Buy It

❓ EGO LB6700 FAQ

What’s the difference between the EGO LB6700 and the LB6703?

The LB6700 is the bare tool. The LB6703 is the kit, which adds a 4.0Ah battery and a 320 W charger according to EGO’s US page. The blower itself is the same, so the choice comes down to whether you already own EGO 56V batteries and a charger.

How powerful is the EGO LB6700?

EGO rates it at 670 CFM in turbo and up to 180 MPH with the tapered nozzle, and it claims 21 N of push force. I found no independent bench measurement for this exact model. EGO’s LB6500 carries the same 21 N claim, and Pro Tool Reviews measured that blower at 20.8 N, so real-world force is probably in that neighborhood.

Does the LB6700 come with a battery?

Not as the bare tool. Plan on a separate 56V ARC Lithium battery, and EGO recommends the 4.0Ah pack for its 80-minute runtime claim. The LB6703 kit includes a 4.0Ah battery and a charger.

How long does the battery last?

EGO says up to 80 minutes with the 4.0Ah battery. One dealer lists up to 160 minutes at low speed. Under heavy, continuous use at higher settings, owner summaries mention much shorter runs, so expect the turbo button to drain a pack quickly.

What’s the range of the speed dial?

EGO’s own page gives two numbers: 225 to 530 CFM in the feature list and 250 to 530 CFM in the description. Either way, the dial covers the low and medium range, and the turbo button adds the full 670 CFM.

Does it include both nozzles?

EGO says the tapered and spread nozzles are included. One dealer lists only the spread nozzle in the box, so check what your listing says. The tapered nozzle is what raises air speed to 180 MPH.

How loud is the LB6700?

Listings show 64 to 65 dB, which is EGO’s rating at a distance. A UK review from Trusted Reviews called the UK version noisy at top speed, so the rating shouldn’t be read as what you hear at the handle. Hearing protection is sensible, and local noise rules vary.

How heavy is the LB6700?

About 5 lb bare according to Ace Hardware, and 2.1 kg (about 4.6 lb) bare in the UK review. Trusted Reviews measured 4.4 kg with a battery attached. A few listings show 7.6 lb or more, which probably includes packaging.

Is the LB6700 waterproof?

No. EGO lists IPX4 weather-resistant construction, which covers splashing water. Don’t hose it down, and don’t leave it out in a downpour.

Can I use the LB6700 to clear snow?

EGO says all of its leaf blowers can be used for snow clearing. Light, dry snow is the realistic target, and the turbo button will drain the battery quickly.

Which EGO blower is better, the LB6700 or the LB6500?

On paper the LB6700 adds 20 CFM, a 180 MPH tapered-nozzle rating, and IPX4 protection. EGO claims 21 N for both, and Pro Tool Reviews measured the LB6500 at 20.8 N. If you find an LB6500 at a good price, it’s a close call.

Is the LB6700 available right now?

Availability depends on where you look. EGO’s US page lists both the LB6700 and the LB6703 kit as coming soon (checked October 30, 2026), while several dealers listed the bare tool in stock. Check the Amazon listing for the seller and stock.

What warranty does the LB6700 have?

EGO’s US policy gives 5 years on the tool and 3 years on the battery and charger for household use, and 1 year for professional use. Nozzles and other accessories get 90 days. Coverage applies to products bought from authorized retailers, and a reconditioned unit carries a shorter warranty.

What accessories fit the LB6700?

EGO lists a blower strap (AP5300), a 7.5-inch short tube attachment (AST2000), a gutter attachment (AGC1000), a tapered nozzle (AN6000R), a spread nozzle (AN5801), a Backpack Link, and several chargers and batteries from 2.5Ah to 12.0Ah.

🏆 Final Verdict

The EGO LB6700 is a strong handheld for people who already run on EGO batteries and have real work to do. It’s rated at 670 CFM, EGO claims 21 N of force, and it includes two nozzles and a 5-year tool warranty. What holds it back is the bare-tool purchase, the weight with a battery attached, quick battery drain in turbo, and the lack of an independent force test.

If your yard is mid-size or large, it fits well. If you’d need to buy a battery and charger, compare the LB6703 kit, the LB6500, and the LB7654 first. If it fits how you work, you can check the latest price, what’s included, and what other buyers say on Amazon.
