- EGO POWER+ LV5005 Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher is a battery-powered three-in-one tool delivering 210 mph blowing power and 500 CFM airflow, arriving in time for the 2026 fall cleanup season.
- The LV5005 runs on a 6.0 Ah EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery — the same battery used in John Deere electric riding mowers — providing up to 90 minutes of runtime on low setting, enough for roughly a quarter-acre lot per charge.
- EGO's six-blade metal impeller achieves a 16:1 mulching ratio, compressing 16 bags of dried leaves into one, meaningful savings in municipalities that charge up to $7 per yard waste bag.
- The tool includes a tool-free tube swap between blower and vacuum modes, IPX5-rated weather-resistant construction, a 5-year limited tool warranty, and a 3-year limited battery warranty.
Why it matters: Homeowners paying up to $7 per yard waste bag for municipal pickup gain a direct cost-cutting tool in the LV5005, which compresses 16 bags of leaves into one and covers roughly a quarter-acre lot on a single 6.0 Ah battery charge — replacing three separate seasonal tools with one.
