🚀 First Impressions: Got this blower for my small landscaping gig. Works surprisingly well with my existing Milwaukee M18 batteries (saved me $$$ on buying new ones). The 500CFM airflow is decent for quick patio cleanups or drying the car.

⚡ Battery Drama: Heads up—the battery slot is TIGHT. Like, 'needs-a-rubber-mallet-to-remove' tight. Had to shave down some plastic inside to make it functional. Once modded, it clicks in fine but still feels sketchy during removal.

🌪️ Performance: 5-speed modes are handy for adjusting to different tasks (leaves vs. light debris). But let’s be real—it’s no gas blower. Struggles with heavy leaf piles; better for touch-ups between big jobs.

🤷 Verdict: Solid for the price if you’re already in the Milwaukee ecosystem. Just expect to wrestle with batteries and keep expectations realistic. Not a yard-work MVP but a handy sidekick.
