Greenworks 40V Leaf Blower and Vacuum

If you only need to move a few dry leaves, a basic blower may be enough, this Greenworks model is aimed at homeowners who also want a vacuum and mulcher for cleanup. It switches between blower and vacuum modes without tools, so you can clear leaves from a walkway and then gather debris from tighter areas without changing machines. Its six-speed dial offers more control for lighter tasks, while Turbo mode is there for tougher piles. The trade-off is a listed runtime of 21 minutes with the included battery, which matters if your cleanup tends to run long.

Best use cases

This cordless leaf blower and vacuum is designed for leaves, grass clippings, and other yard debris, including wet leaves according to the product description. Use blower mode to push debris off a driveway or patio, then switch to vacuum/mulcher mode when you want to collect it instead. The tool-free conversion is useful when a yard has a mix of open areas and spots where blowing debris around is less practical.

It’s a great fit if you want one tool for both clearing and collecting, and prefer cordless operation with the battery and charger included. A blower-only tool is a simpler approach if you never plan to vacuum leaves, for larger or extended cleanup jobs, the stated 21-minute runtime may be a constraint. It’s not for you if you need a stated runtime longer than that or need details such as vacuum bag capacity before deciding, since those aren’t provided here.

Product specs

The product is a 40V, two-in-one leaf blower and vacuum with a brushless motor. Greenworks lists airflow up to 340 CFM and wind speed up to 185 MPH, with a six-speed dial and a Turbo mode for maximum airflow. It includes a 4.0 Ah battery and charger, and the listed runtime is 21 minutes. The maker also lists a three-year warranty with no registration required.

The maker describes the brushless motor as providing twice the torque, longer runtime, quieter operation, and three times the motor lifespan compared with traditional models. Those are manufacturer claims, not independent test results. No vacuum bag capacity or mulching ratio is included in the available product details, so shoppers who need those figures should treat that as an open question rather than assume a particular collection setup.

Where it shines

The appeal is the change in approach during a cleanup: use airflow to move leaves away from steps, then vacuum them from a corner where a blower would scatter them again. The speed dial also gives you a choice between gentler airflow for lighter debris and Turbo for stubborn piles. What matters in practice is whether you value that flexibility more than the longer run time or simpler setup offered by a tool dedicated to one task.

Because the battery and charger are included, the listed setup covers the power source as well as the tool. Still, the 21-minute runtime is the clearest limitation for bigger properties or sessions that involve multiple areas. The product description doesn’t say how runtime changes between blower and vacuum modes, so plan around the stated figure rather than assuming it will cover every cleanup routine.

Buying verdict

This Greenworks is worth considering if you want cordless blower and vacuum/mulcher functions in one tool, need adjustable airflow, and expect your yard work to fit within the stated runtime. Its strongest practical point is avoiding a blower-only routine when leaves need to be collected rather than pushed elsewhere. If your priority is a longer uninterrupted session, or you need specific vacuum collection details to judge capacity, the information here may not be enough to make it the right choice.
