This unit definitely has the power+. The ability for hot swapping batteries means you can keep going regardless of the job size. I also have a EGO 650 cfm blower, a great unit too, However, I wanted see how the 35% cfm increase (880cfm) would compare to the older model. I primarily use the blower in winter for snow removal up to 3” of dry cold snow. Large deck, average size driveway and sidewalk. It also works great for clearing dry snow off cars.
Overall, the increased performance is noticeable, however it comes with a downside too. That being an increased noise level at peak output. As with any Blower, Hearing protection is highly recommended. On the Positive side you can BREATHE without the stench of 2-stroke oil and gas fumes.
