Budget Battery Blower Review
ALSO GO Battery Powered Leaf Blower 650CFM 280MPH Review: Specs, Pros & Cons
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.
⚡ Overview: Two 6.0Ah Batteries and Some Very Big Numbers
The ALSO GO battery powered leaf blower is a light cordless handheld sold on Amazon with two 21V 6.0Ah batteries. The US listing rates it at 650 CFM and 280 MPH, with six speed modes and a dual-tube design, and the product photos add a 25,000 RPM motor and a low-noise claim.
One oddity before you trust any of that. Amazon’s India page for the same product ID (B0FFH8GY2H) lists 540 CFM and 170 MPH instead, with a rated power of 500 W. ALSO GO also sells at least four other blowers on Amazon, rated from 480 to 880 CFM. That’s why I read the headline figures as sales numbers. See the Amazon listing for today’s price.
What stands out is the battery size, because most budget kits ship with 4.0Ah packs or smaller. What doesn’t stand out is the evidence: I found no independent test, no blowing-force figure, no manual and no warranty text, so the numbers are claims, not results.
That’s the lens I used here. I read the listings closely, compared them with each other and with brand-name blowers, and did the battery math myself. I haven’t used the blower, and I say so wherever it matters.
Check the listing for the exact version, the seller, and what’s included
It looks like a reasonable budget pick for patios, driveways and light leaf cleanup, as long as you treat 650 CFM and 280 MPH as sales numbers. You get two 6.0Ah batteries, six speed modes and a light body, which is more battery than most kits in this price class offer.
The catch is that the headline figures change between Amazon marketplaces, the weight is reported inconsistently, and I found no independent test or warranty text. Choose a brand-name blower like the DEWALT DCBL722B or the EGO LB5302 if you want tested performance and clear support.
Verdict Summary
Best for budget shoppers with a patio, driveway or small yard
- Best for: homeowners and renters with a patio, driveway, garage or small yard who want a light cordless blower with big batteries and a low price
- Standout strength: two 6.0Ah batteries (roughly 108 to 126 Wh each), six speed modes, and a fast charger that the India listing says refills a pack in about an hour
- Biggest weakness: headline numbers that differ by marketplace, no independent test, and a weight and warranty I couldn’t pin down
- Skip it if: you have a large yard, heavy or wet leaves, or want a platform with proven support
Score basis: raised by the large batteries, six speeds and light design; lowered by the missing test data, conflicting specs, the uncertain weight and no warranty text. It’s an editorial judgment, not a lab score, and it isn’t based on hands-on testing.
📊 Full Specifications
Core specs (as claimed)
| Spec | Value | Source |

Figures that vary by source or are missing
These are the numbers where sources disagree or leave something out. I show each one instead of picking a winner.
| Spec | What sources say | Why it differs |
|---|---|---|
| Air volume and speed | 650 CFM and 280 MPH (US title), 540 CFM and 170 MPH (India listing, same product ID), 880 CFM and 280 MPH (another ALSO GO blower), 600 CFM and 150 MPH, and 480 CFM and 160 MPH (two smaller ALSO GO kits) | Different listings and versions under one brand. Check the title on your page |
| Motor speed | 25,000 RPM (product photos), 21,000 rpm no-load (India spec). Other 650 CFM listings claim 17,300 RPM and even 50,000 RPM | RPM isn’t a measure of power, and claims aren’t standardized |
| Weight | 3 kg 680 g (India). Another ALSO GO listing says 3.68 lb in its bullets but 5.73 lb in its table | The 3.68 figure may be pounds mistaken for kilograms, and none of the listings say if a battery is included |
| Runtime | 120 minutes low and 20 minutes high (ALSO GO India). One other brand’s 6.0Ah blower says 120 minutes low and 30 minutes high | Seller claims with no stated test method |
| Noise | The product photos say low noise. Another ALSO GO listing claims 45 dB | A 45 dB figure is closer to a quiet room than a blower, so I wouldn’t rely on it |
| Same title, other brands | Other sellers use “650CFM 280MPH” with two 6.0Ah batteries, such as a VIBOGEN listing with 5 speeds and a claimed brushless motor | Listings that look like similar designs under different names |
| Price | Varied between marketplaces and sellers | Seller pricing and date. I couldn’t read Amazon’s page, so I didn’t list a price |
Listings change, so compare the title and bullets with this table
💨 Power and Airflow: What to Believe at 650 CFM and 280 MPH
CFM and MPH sell blowers, but blowing force in newtons tells you more about a heavy pile. Nobody has published a force figure for the ALSO GO. So I looked at what the two numbers mean and how they sit next to blowers other people have rated.
What the two numbers do
CFM is the volume of air a blower can move. MPH is how fast the air leaves the nozzle. Makers often quote volume without a nozzle and speed with a tapered one, so the two figures describe different conditions and you don’t get both at once.
A listing that quotes 650 CFM and 280 MPH together is quoting two maximums. You get them at full power, with a fresh battery and the nozzle close to the work, and not for long.
Where 650 CFM sits
| Blower | Rated airflow | Rated speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALSO GO (this blower, US title) | 650 CFM | 280 MPH | Two 6.0Ah packs, unverified |
| ALSO GO (same ID, India listing) | 540 CFM | 170 MPH | 500 W rated, unverified |
| ALSO GO (880 CFM version) | 880 CFM | 280 MPH | Claims 1,500 W, brushless, unverified |
| LOSART 650CFM | 650 CFM | Not stated | Two 5.0Ah packs, unverified |
| Skil 40V 650 CFM | 650 CFM | 170 MPH | 9.7 lb with a 6Ah battery (Bob Vila) |
| EGO LB5302 | 530 CFM | Not listed here | 16.5 N turbo measured, brand-name |
| DEWALT DCBL722B | 450 CFM | 125 MPH | Brand-name reference |
| WORX WG543 | 410 CFM | 125 MPH | 20V, 4.0Ah battery in the listing I read |
Ratings are manufacturer or seller figures from listings and my own review pages. They are not test results.
So 650 CFM isn’t unheard of at this price. Several budget listings claim it. The difference is that a brand-name 650 CFM blower like the Skil weighs 9.7 lb with its battery, while ALSO GO’s listings describe a far lighter tool. I can’t confirm that both are true.
What tested blowers measure
Pro Tool Reviews measures blowing force with a meter 3 inches from the nozzle. Even big brand-name blowers post modest numbers next to their marketing: the Ryobi 40V HP 800 CFM measured 24.8 N, the Husqvarna 350iB 800 CFM measured 20.9 N in turbo and only 9.5 N on high, and my EGO LB5302 review covers a 530 CFM blower that measured 16.5 N in turbo. Those are real measurements. For the ALSO GO there isn’t one.
What I’d expect in the yard
From the weight, the batteries and the rating, I’d expect it to move dry leaves, grass clippings, dust, sawdust and light debris, and to clear a patio, porch, garage floor or car. That’s my expectation, not a test result.
Wet, matted leaves and deep piles are where small blowers struggle, and nothing in the listings says this one is different. To see what’s bundled today, the current Amazon listing is the place to check.
🔋 Battery, Runtime and What You’re Buying Into
The battery is the best part of this kit on paper, so it gets its own section. Each 21V 6.0Ah pack stores roughly 108 Wh at the 18V nominal rating or 126 Wh at 21V. That is more than the 72 to 100 Wh you get from the 4.0Ah to 5.0Ah packs in most budget kits.
The energy math
Runtime depends on how many watts the blower pulls. This table is arithmetic, not an ALSO GO figure: watt-hours divided by watts, times 60.
| Average draw | One pack lasts about | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 60 W | 108 to 126 minutes | A low setting |
| 100 W | 65 to 76 minutes | A gentle setting |
| 200 W | 32 to 38 minutes | A middle setting |
| 350 W | 19 to 22 minutes | Hard use |
| 500 W | 13 to 15 minutes | The rated power on the India listing |
Two packs double these figures. Real runtime is shorter because packs and motors lose some energy, and cold or an aged battery cuts it further.
What similar listings claim
One other brand’s 6.0Ah blower says 120 minutes on low and 30 minutes on high. ALSO GO’s smaller kits claim less. These are seller claims, and a number like “120 minutes” always depends on which setting it was measured on.
Charging and battery care
| Topic | What to know |
|---|---|
| Charging | Use only the charger made for the pack, charge indoors in a dry place, and don’t leave packs charging unattended. The India listing claims about 1 hour for a full charge |
| Heat and cold | Let a hot pack cool before charging, and avoid charging or storing packs in freezing or very hot places (general battery advice) |
| Storage | Store packs partly charged in a dry place, out of children’s reach (general battery advice) |
| Compatibility | I found no shared battery platform for ALSO GO, so assume the packs fit only this blower and its charger |
| Certification | Ask the seller whether the charger and batteries carry UL, ETL or a similar mark. I couldn’t confirm that |
| Spare packs | Check that replacement packs are sold. With a proprietary pack, a dead battery can mean a dead kit |
🔑 Setup and Use: Six Speeds and Two Tubes
I couldn’t find an ALSO GO manual online, so this is general guidance for a compact cordless blower with several speed modes. Follow the manual in your box where it differs.
Use the charger from the box before the first use. The India listing claims about an hour, so check when the light changes.
The listing describes a dual-tube design. Join the tubes and attach them until they click, and check that nothing wobbles.
Slide a pack in until it locks. A loose pack can cut power mid-job.
The listing offers six modes. Begin low for dust and delicate areas, and move up only for heavier debris.
Hold it a few inches from the surface and keep the pile in front of you. Short, overlapping passes work best.
When power drops, stop and swap packs. Let a hot pack cool before you recharge it.
Remove the battery, clear the air inlet and wipe the housing.
🍂 Real-World Performance and Yard Size
No independent test exists for this blower, so this section is built from the specs and from what tested blowers do. Treat it as a guide, not a measurement.
What it should handle
| Job | Likely fit |
|---|---|
| Dry leaves on a lawn | Good for light to moderate drop, in short sessions |
| Patio, porch, deck | Strong fit. Light debris moves easily |
| Driveway and walkway | Good for grit, dust and clippings |
| Garage floor, workshop, car | Strong fit. Sawdust and dust are easy jobs |
| Damp or matted leaves | Slow. Expect several passes, and don’t count on it |
| Heavy, soaked piles and snow | Poor fit. Look at a bigger blower |
Yard-size guidance
These ranges are my judgment from the battery size, not an ALSO GO rating.
| Property | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Patio, balcony, townhouse | Excellent | Short jobs. The two big packs are more than enough |
| Under 1/4 acre | Good | Fine with both packs charged |
| 1/4 to 1/2 acre | Marginal | Possible on low and mid speeds, but you’ll swap packs |
| Over 1/2 acre | Poor | Choose a larger battery platform or a gas blower |
Technique that stretches the batteries
⚖️ ALSO GO vs Brand-Name Alternatives
A budget blower earns its place by being cheaper than a brand-name kit. The trade is evidence and support. This table shows where the trade-offs sit.
| ALSO GO | Brand-name 20V blowers | 56V platforms | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated airflow | 650 CFM claimed (US), 540 CFM (India) | 350 to 450 CFM across the models I checked | 530 CFM and up |
| Independent test data | None found | Often available from reviewers | Often available |
| Battery | Two 6.0Ah packs, proprietary | Varies, often 4.0Ah, on a shared platform | Larger packs, longer runtime |
| Weight | Reported inconsistently | Stated by the maker | Heavier, with larger batteries |
| Warranty and parts | I couldn’t find a statement | Published, with wide dealer networks | Published, with wide dealer networks |
When a different blower makes more sense
🛠️ Care, Storage and Troubleshooting
Again, I couldn’t find an ALSO GO manual, so the tables below are general care guidance for a compact cordless blower. Follow your own manual where it differs.
| Item | What to do | When |
|---|---|---|
| Battery pack | Remove it before cleaning, changing the tubes or clearing a blockage | Every time |
| Air inlet | Keep it clear of leaves, dust and hair. A blocked inlet cuts airflow and heats the motor | Before and after each use |
| Tubes | Check that they are seated and free of debris | Before each use |
| Housing | Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, and keep water out of the vents and battery bay | As needed |
| Battery contacts | Keep them clean and dry | Monthly in season |
| Storage | Keep the blower and partly charged batteries indoors, dry and out of reach of children | Off-season |
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t start | Battery not seated or empty | Reseat the battery and charge it |
| Cuts out quickly | A hot pack or a high speed draining it | Let it cool, swap packs, use a lower setting |
| Weak airflow | Blocked inlet or loose tube | Clear the inlet and reseat the tubes |
| Pack won’t charge | Wrong charger or poor contact | Use only the matching charger and clean the contacts |
| Unusual noise or smell | Debris in the fan or a damaged part | Remove the battery, stop using it and contact the seller |
🛡️ Safety, Noise and Local Rules
Noise: what I could and couldn’t verify
The product photos say low noise, but I found no decibel figure for this version. Another ALSO GO listing claims 45 dB, which is closer to a quiet room than to any blower that moves this much air, so I wouldn’t rely on it.
Check your town’s rules. Many places limit blower hours, and some restrict gas blowers more than battery ones.
💵 Price, Warranty and Where to Buy
| Seller | Price seen | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon | See the listing | I couldn’t read Amazon’s page, so I didn’t list a price |
| Other marketplaces | Varies | Similar 650 CFM blowers from other brands appear on eBay and Walmart, but those aren’t ALSO GO listings |
Prices change, and taxes aren’t included.
Warranty and returns
I couldn’t find a warranty statement for this listing. If you buy on Amazon, the seller’s terms and Amazon’s return policy apply, so read the listing and note the return window before you order.
Keep your receipt and order number either way, and check that the charger and batteries are included, since that’s where kits like this most often differ.

⭐ Owner Feedback, Pros and Cons
I couldn’t open Amazon’s review pages, so I can’t summarize what buyers say, and I’d rather admit that than invent a pattern. What I can see is that ALSO GO’s listings lean on the same selling points: two big batteries, six speeds, light weight and big airflow numbers.
I found no formal durability data and no warranty statement, so check the return window and the seller’s terms before you rely on it.
The points below are my analysis of the claims and sources above:
- Two 6.0Ah batteries, more energy than most budget kits
- Six speed modes, from gentle dusting to full power
- A fast charger, claimed at about one hour
- Light, compact design with dual tubes
- Runtime claims that hang together on the India listing
- Useful for patios, driveways, garages and cars
- No independent test or force measurement
- 650 CFM and 280 MPH differ from 540 CFM and 170 MPH on the India listing
- Weight is reported inconsistently
- No warranty text or manual that I could find
- Noise claims I can’t verify
- Proprietary batteries that won’t fit other tools
- Weak on wet, matted leaves, and wrong for big yards
Amazon reviews show what buyers say about runtime and durability
🎯 Who Should Buy It
Buy it if:
- You have a patio, porch, garage, car or small yard to keep tidy

❓ ALSO GO Battery Powered Leaf Blower 650CFM 280MPH FAQ
Is the ALSO GO 650CFM 280MPH leaf blower worth buying?
It looks like a reasonable budget pick for light cleanup if you treat the specs as claims. You get two 6.0Ah batteries and six speeds, but I found no independent test, so a brand-name blower is safer if you want tested power.
Is the 650 CFM claim real?
I can’t verify it. The US listing says 650 CFM, but Amazon’s India page for the same product ID says 540 CFM, and I found no independent measurement. Treat the figure as a best-case seller claim.
Does it really blow 280 MPH?
The US title says 280 MPH, while the India listing says 170 MPH. Makers often quote speed with a tapered nozzle, so treat 280 MPH as an unverified, best-case number.
What does 25,000 RPM mean?
It’s the motor speed in the product photos. The India spec says 21,000 rpm no-load. RPM doesn’t tell you how much air a blower moves, and other listings claim anything from 17,300 to 50,000 RPM.
How long does the battery last?
The India listing claims up to 120 minutes on low and about 20 minutes on high with the two batteries. That’s a seller claim. By my arithmetic, a 6.0Ah pack at 200 W would last roughly 32 to 38 minutes.
How long does it take to charge?
The India listing says a fast charger fully charges a pack in about 1 hour. I couldn’t verify that, and I couldn’t find a charge time for the US listing.
How much does it weigh?
It’s unclear. The India listing says 3 kg 680 g, which is about 8.1 lb. Another ALSO GO listing says 3.68 lb in its bullets and 5.73 lb in its table. Check the weight on your page.
What battery does it use?
Two 21V 6.0Ah lithium packs, which the India spec calls 15-cell. Each stores roughly 108 to 126 Wh by my arithmetic. I found no shared platform, so assume the packs fit only this blower.
Is it brushless?
The listings I read for this version don’t say. ALSO GO’s 880 CFM blower claims a brushless motor, but that’s a different model.
How loud is it?
The product photos say low noise, with no decibel figure for this version. Another ALSO GO listing claims 45 dB, which I wouldn’t rely on. Wear hearing protection and check your local rules.
Can it handle wet leaves?
I wouldn’t count on it. Small battery blowers struggle with wet, matted leaves, and no independent test shows this one moving them.
Is it good for a large yard?
No. The unverified power, the light body and the short high-speed runtime make it a better match for patios, driveways and small yards.
Which ALSO GO version am I buying?
ALSO GO sells blowers rated 480, 540, 600, 650 and 880 CFM. Check the CFM and MPH in your listing title, the battery size, the charger and the seller.
What warranty does it have?
I couldn’t find a warranty statement for this listing. Check the Amazon page and the seller’s terms, and note the return window before you buy.
Is there a brand-name alternative on this site?
Yes. See my DEWALT DCBL722B and EGO LB5302 reviews for tested cordless blowers, the LOSART 650CFM review for another budget kit, and the EGO LB7654 for big yards.

✅ Before You Buy: Quick Checklist
A few details vary by listing and seller, so it’s worth a minute on the page to confirm:
- The version: the CFM and MPH in the title, since ALSO GO sells several
- The batteries: two 6.0Ah packs and a charger, and whether spares are sold
- The weight: check whether the listed weight includes a battery
- The warranty: look for a written statement, and what’s required to claim it
- The seller: a clear return window, and certified chargers and batteries
- Local rules and protective gear: eye and ear protection, and your town’s noise limits
