Cordless leaf blowers, compared on published specs
LeafSweep lines up three kit-style cordless blowers — EGO 56V, Greenworks 80V, and Milwaukee M18 FUEL — for small–medium Midwestern yards. We use manufacturer CFM/MPH claims and verified Amazon ASINs. No invented prices, no lab scores we did not run.

Money comparison plus two SEO helpers: battery vs gas for Midwest yards, and how to read CFM vs MPH.
EGO vs Greenworks vs Milwaukee
Side-by-side voltage, CFM, MPH, kit contents, and platform notes from official pages.
TradeoffsBattery vs gas for Midwest yards
Noise ordinances, cold starts, mixing, storage — honest tradeoffs without invented emissions numbers.
Buying guideHow to read CFM vs MPH
Volume vs velocity, what manufacturers say, and why Newton force shows up on some sheets.
Featured cordless kits
Flagship-style kits with battery and charger where that is how shoppers typically buy. Specs are manufacturer claims, not our lab tests.

What CFM, MPH, and runtime mean (quick)
CFM — air volume
Cubic feet per minute. Higher CFM generally moves a wider column of loose leaves. Greenworks’ own explainer treats CFM as volume for covering ground.
MPH — air speed
Miles per hour at the airstream. Higher MPH helps dislodge wet or stuck debris. Same Greenworks guide frames MPH as speed/force for stubborn leaves.
Runtime claims
Always tied to a battery size and a duty cycle (low vs turbo). We quote manufacturer runtimes with that caveat — not “all-day” marketing.
