Greenworks makes more cordless leaf blowers than any other brand on the Canadian market. That's great for selection, but it can make choosing the right one feel overwhelming. Which voltage? Which CFM? Handheld or backpack? Blower only or blower/vac/mulcher?
This review breaks down every current Greenworks blower available in Canada, ranked by power tier, with honest assessments of who each one is built for.
Tier 1: Light Duty — Greenworks 24V Blowers
The Greenworks 24V Brushless Blower (450 CFM) is the entry point. At 450 CFM and 110 MPH, it handles patios, garages, car detailing, and light debris on walkways and driveways. It's extremely lightweight, quiet, and easy to store.
Best for: Condo owners, townhome patios, small decks, quick after-mow driveway sweeps, anyone who wants a grab-and-go tool for five-minute cleanups.
Not ideal for: Heavy leaf cleanup, wet leaves, large yards. If your primary use case is clearing a yard full of autumn leaves, you'll want more power.
Standout feature: The 4Ah USB battery charges phones and devices — a surprisingly useful bonus. Part of the 24V POWERALL ecosystem with 200+ compatible tools.
Tier 2: Mid-Range — Greenworks 40V Blowers
The Greenworks 40V 450 CFM Leaf Blower steps up in sustained power delivery. 450 CFM at 120 MPH with a variable speed trigger and cruise control. The 4.0Ah battery delivers solid runtime for most suburban yards.
Best for: Suburban homeowners with yards up to a third of an acre. Weekly maintenance blowing — grass clippings, light leaves, debris from garden beds.
Not ideal for: Heavy wet leaves or properties with dense tree cover. It handles light to moderate leaf volume but reaches its limit on the worst fall cleanup days.
The Greenworks 40V Brushless Blower/Vacuum adds vacuum and mulcher modes to the package. 185 MPH air speed, 340 CFM, and a 10:1 mulch ratio. Toolless conversion between modes. At 11.8 lbs, it's manageable for extended use.
Best for: Homeowners who want to collect and compress leaves rather than just pile them. Ideal for composters and anyone who wants to reduce yard waste volume.
Tier 3: Upper Mid-Range — Greenworks 48V Blowers
The Greenworks 48V (24V x 2) 600 CFM Brushless Blower is the all-rounder. Two 4.0Ah 24V batteries combine to deliver 600 CFM at 150 MPH with a brushless motor for extended runtime and motor longevity. Variable speed control gives you precision when you need it.
Best for: Medium yards, moderate leaf volume, homeowners who already own 24V POWERALL batteries from mowers or other tools and want maximum value from the same platform.
The Greenworks 48V Brushless Blower/Vacuum/Mulcher adds 3-in-1 versatility with a 12:1 mulch ratio and cruise control lever. Powered by two 6.0Ah batteries for extended runtime.
Best for: Homeowners who want to blow, vacuum, and mulch with one tool and need more power than the 40V blower/vac provides.
Tier 4: High Power — Greenworks 80V Blowers
The Greenworks 80V 770 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower is the flagship handheld. 770 CFM at 180 MPH makes it one of the most powerful cordless handheld blowers available in Canada. It handles wet leaves, heavy debris, and large properties with authority.
Best for: Large yards, heavy leaf cleanup, wet conditions, anyone who wants gas-level power from a battery tool. This is the blower that converts gas holdouts.
Standout feature: Includes a premium shoulder strap in the box to reduce arm fatigue during extended sessions. The brushless motor delivers consistent power from first trigger pull to last.
The Greenworks 80V 780 CFM Backpack Blower distributes weight across your shoulders and back for maximum comfort. 780 CFM at 205 MPH — nearly identical performance to the handheld 800, but with extended runtime and zero arm fatigue.
Best for: Large, heavily treed properties. Professional landscapers. Anyone who needs to blow for 45+ minutes without stopping. The backpack form factor makes this a different category of tool entirely.
