I have seen a couple of leaf blowers that have this kind of bazooka look, but HOTO's bazooka... I mean, HOTO's leaf blower is easily the most unique one that I've seen.

Now I don't know how, but the last leaf blower I was using ran on a 40V battery, yet the power of this one puts it to shame. It doesn't have a variable trigger or lever that can adjust the power to exactly what you want, which is something that I have always liked having. But after using this one, I don't really mind not having that now. And no, you do not have to hold down a trigger the whole time that you are using it. Well, I guess you do have to hold a button down the whole time to use the turbo speed. But for regular operation there is just a switch that you flip to turn it on to the low speed, and then you can flip it one more time to use the high speed.

As for the battery, it is one of the highest quality batteries that I have ever used! And I have used a lot of them. It's strange too, because it doesn't have a big giant base charger. Instead, it has a USB-C port and can be charged using any power station or power brick. If you want the battery to charge in just one hour though, whatever power source your using has to be able to output 100 watts. So I imagine that's going to be a downside for some people. But in my opinion, in todays day and age, if you don't already have a serious power station then you really need to get one.

Anyway, the reason that I say this is one of the highest quality batteries that I have ever used, is because pretty much every battery that I've monitored while it's charging, charges at less watts as it fills up. But not this battery. Even when it was close to being fully charged it was STILL charging almost right at 100 watts!

Not only that, the battery for this leaf blower can also serve as a power bank. Although, I would only use it for that in emergencies or if you just don't have any other means at the time. Just because the battery's capacity is only 3900mAh. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then here's a reference. Most flagship cell phones have a battery with a capacity that's at or around 5000mAh. However, if you do go to charge anything with it, the maximum output of the battery is 100 watts. So as you can see in my picture, the leaf blower's battery is charging my power bank at 99.5 watts.

And in case you missed it, they say that the runtime on a full battery is 30 minutes of continuous use. No doubt that's going to be for the blower's lowest speed though. I really wish HOTO wouldn't be like that and tell us the runtime on every speed...

The same goes with the weight of the leaf blower. They say that it weighs 2.93 pounds. Which is pretty accurate. Because I got about right at 3 pounds when I weighed it... WITHOUT THE BATTERY. That's right. And with the battery weighing about 1.3 pounds, the REAL weight of the leaf blower is going to be around 4.3 pounds. I mean, come on HOTO... That's still impressive. And it's not cool to show a picture of someone actively using the leaf blower, that also displays the weight of it without the battery...

Anyway, it's still an incredible leaf blower. And like another reviewer said, please sell backup battery packs!

Strong and powerful. Versatile and easy one hand operation

The leaf blower died after 3 very short uses. I had high hopes for it because I like the screwdriver and the drill.
