I ask because I assume you like both the power (CFM air movement) of the EGO unit itself AND the fact it is cordless (battery powered).
Also looked at the BLO car drying AIR-RS model sold by Detailed Image. Another Master blaster "clone"again, with their design `improvements".
Cannot go with a big 8HP model by anyone, as I do not have 20amp service in my garage.
The electrical cord issue was the end got too hot and melted/shorted out the female end from using a motor that was dying and drawing too much power/amps, BUT apparently not enough to trip the 15amp breaker OR the GFI at the outlet. My error, though, because I could hear the motor on the leaf blower starting to slow down. I used my shop vac after that melted the male plug, so I assumed its the electrical extension cord and not the shop vac motor that is going bad as well. Could be, though! I had replaced the molded/integral original male 2-prong end when one of the prongs became loose with a three-prong ground plug end, even though there is no wire for the ground. When it rains, it pours!!
Or , as the Hee Haw song goes "If it weren`t for bad luck I`d have no luck at all; ruin ,despair, and agony on me!"
