Greenworks 40V Leaf Blower Review: Pros, Cons & Who It’s For

Greenworks 40V leaf blower review: the listing at a glance

Who the Greenworks 24252 is for

• Homeowners with patios, decks and driveways who need a light blower for leaves, light debris and the light snow the listing names.
• Anyone who hates pull cords: battery power means no fuel, no oil and no carburetor to flood.
• Buyers on the Greenworks 40V platform, since the 2.0 Ah battery suits other 40V tools they may own.
• Noise-sensitive neighborhoods: the listing states 53 dB as its noise figure.

The pick in detail

Below is our card for the one model in this review, with the Acre Score it earned. A single-review card carries the full 4 pros, 4 cons and the who-it-is-for summary in one place.

What the 24252 does well

150 MPH with a concentrator nozzle

The listing states 150 MPH air speed with a concentrator nozzle for tight spaces, which is the figure that moves wet leaves and packed debris. The variable speed dial lets you back off for light dusting on the porch and open up for the driveway, so you are not blasting mulch out of the beds on full power.

The variable speed dial is the control that makes the 150 MPH top end livable: dial it down for light dusting on the porch and up for clearing the driveway. The concentrator nozzle focuses the stated airflow where you point it, which is how a compact blower clears a defined area rather than scattering leaves wider. The 53 dB noise figure is stated in the listing, and the 2.0 Ah battery and charger come in the box, so there is nothing else to buy before the first use. The 3-year limited tool and battery warranty is stated for both the tool and the battery, which is the part that wears.

Light in the hand

At 3.3 pounds, this is a genuinely light blower, and the listing’s ergonomic grip claim pairs with the low weight for more comfortable longer sessions. For quick daily cleanups, a blower you grab without thinking beats a heavier one you leave in the garage.

Battery and charger in the box

The 2.0 Ah 40V battery and charger are included, so it works out of the box. Being on the Greenworks 40V platform means the battery swaps into other tools in the line, which is the real value of a small battery: it is a spare for the trimmer as well as the blower.

Stated 3 year warranty and 53 dB

The listing states a 3 year limited tool and battery warranty in both the bullets and the spec table, a concrete term that earns warranty points in our Acre Score. The stated 53 dB noise level is listed plainly too, which matters for early-morning cleanup near neighbors.

Limitations to know before you buy

The CFM figure contradicts itself

The title and bullets say 135 CFM while the spec table says 130 CFM. Five CFM will not change your yard, but the mismatch shows the listing was not carefully checked, and we trust the 135 CFM figure from the title and bullets.

The width dimension is nonsense

The spec table lists dimensions of 20 inches long by 0.12 inches wide by 2.25 inches high. A blower 0.12 inches wide is impossible; that is a data-entry error, not a slim design. Treat the 20-inch length as approximate and ignore the width.

No runtime figure

The listing states no runtime for the 2.0 Ah battery, and runtime is the number that decides whether one battery finishes your yard. The variable speed dial helps, since lower speeds stretch the charge, but the figure itself is missing.

Light duty by design

This is a sweeper-class blower for leaves, debris and light snow on hard surfaces. It is not the tool for acres of wet leaves or heavy storm cleanup; the 2.0 Ah battery and the handheld form say quick jobs. For bigger work, see our best backpack leaf blowers.

Who should skip the Greenworks 24252

• Owners with large yards or heavy leaf fall who need more runtime and airflow than a 2.0 Ah handheld gives.
• Anyone who wants a stated runtime figure before buying; the listing gives none.
• Buyers outside the Greenworks 40V platform who do not want another battery system on the shelf.
• Anyone clearing wet, matted leaves by the acre; a backpack blower is the tool for that material.

Alternatives

If you want more blower without leaving battery power, our cordless leaf blower comparisons cover handheld options by stated MPH and CFM. For drying cars with a blower, see the cordless blowers for drying cars. For heavy fall cleanup, the best backpack leaf blowers move far more air.

Within Greenworks’ own line, a higher-voltage or higher-CFM model would be the step up for anyone who finds the 24252’s airflow limiting, though the listing here gives no runtime figure to compare against. For larger yards, a backpack blower is the tool class to look at rather than a handheld, since the harness carries the weight and the batteries get bigger. For anyone on the fence between battery and corded, a corded blower removes the runtime question entirely at the cost of a cord. See our oil extractor pump guides for mower maintenance pairings.

Blower safety basics: wear eye and hearing protection, clear the area of people and pets before you start, and never point the nozzle at anyone. A 150 MPH stream throws small stones and debris hard enough to injure.

FAQ: mowing large lots

How powerful is the Greenworks 24252?

The listing states 150 MPH air speed and 135 CFM airflow in the title and bullets (130 CFM in the spec table). That is sweeper-class power for leaves, light debris and light snow on hard surfaces.

What battery does it use?

A 40V 2.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, included with a charger in the box. The battery is part of the Greenworks 40V platform, so it works with other 40V tools in the line.

How long does the battery last?

The listing states no runtime figure. The variable speed dial lets you stretch the charge on light work, but there is no official number.

Is it quiet?

The listing states 53 dB, which is on the quiet side for a leaf blower. It should be fine for morning cleanup where noise matters.

What is the warranty?

The listing states a 3 year limited tool and battery warranty, which earns it warranty points in our Acre Score.
