Bosch GBL18V-71N 18V Cordless Blower (Bare Tool)

It's a very nice product. It worked better than expected. Probably one of the best leaf blower that works with batteries. Very powerful and light as expected from a recognized good brand

This thing was exactly as described. I have no complaints, but I literally laughed out loud when I saw it’s actual dimensions: my failure to pay close attention to the details. It’s comically small. It looks like an industrial hair dryer, and you could definitely use it that way on the low setting. Despite my initial amusement and skepticism, when I put it to use, I could immediately see it’s utility. I have a very beefy Husqverarna backpack blower; I understand power tools. This little Bosch blower is kind of perfect for anyone with limited strength or mobility. It is not suited to large projects like yard cleanup, but for a quick scour of a porch, patio, or workbench, it’s pretty great. I bought it mostly because I’m already very invested in Bosch cordless tools, and the simplicity of interchangeable batteries cannot be understated. Does not come with a battery, which will be a limiting factor for someone looking for a ready-to-go option. My overall satisfaction with Bosch tools leads me to recommend this small, simple blower along with the batteries and charger you’ll need to buy to make it work. It eats the hell out of batteries, though. I get about ten minutes of good use out of it before it quits and requires a fresh battery, so get two, and have one on the charger all the time. This tool is not designed for lengthy endeavors anyway, but for the money, even with the batteries you’ll need to buy, it’s just great. This is what I’d give to my Mom, because it’s basically effortless, fun, and has proven to be reliable. On the low setting, it’s almost gentle enough to dust shelves; on the high setting, it really surprises me. By all means, do your research, but I have a high recommendation for this tool.

I had been looking forward to Bosch releasing an 18V blower. So far it has met my expectations. This unit is probably more compact than you'd realize, until you have it in your hand. It is lightweight and easy to use, even with the larger battery packs. It comes with the typical Bosch overmolded rubber handle, and features a simple slider switch with two blower speeds and an off position. The attachments can be installed or removed effortlessly with the peg and groove retention system. I've yet to use the small diameter tube with the dust collection, but I'm sure it'll be handy. This blower sounds like a loud vacuum cleaner; It is manageable decibel-wise, but I can't say it's quiet or that it's meant to be. The actual strength is very nice. Just glancing at the tool you'd probably underestimate it's ability, but it does very well. This could easily replace a gas blower for basic cleanup of a porch, small walkway, steps, deck, garage, etc.. It's a great tradeoff for weight, size, and messing with fuel, where applicable. Obviously each job is unique and any range of tool might be necessary. It is for sure very handy for quick construction debris clean up. Overall I'm really happy with this unit. It is lightweight, compact, and comes with multiple hose attachments for varying applications. Remember that this is a bare tool and does NOT include a battery.

I waited to purchase this for quite some time as there were very few reviews out there. I finally bit the bullet and I'm glad I did. I was hoping this could replace my pancake compressor for blowing out my garage and cleaning off my tools, sawdust, and work space. I already own a nice Bosch drill set, so I knew this bare tool would work with my current batteries. My hesitation had primarily to do with the size of this unit. It is TINY! But I will admit, for its size, it carries some punch. It's surprisingly loud...which is kind of annoying, but this thing moves air! So far, I am very pleased with it! Once Spring rolls in, its true test will be how/if it is able to move my grass clipping and leaves after mowing and edging. I'll update when possible. But in the meantime, a solid 5 stars. Please don't be like the other reviewer and complain there is no battery. Less for 1 picture...everything else clearly points this to being a BARE TOOL model (as evidenced by the title, description, and even model #). UPDATE: Have used for an entire season and I’m pleased with my purchase! I edge my yard after every mowing. This little unit works great for moving the dirt and clippings off the sidewalk and to the street. It worked well for blowing leaves off of my yard as well...but if they are wet, and thus heavy, this won’t help much. As other reviewers noted, it eats battery fairly quickly. I can do my entire yard, about 15 minutes of straight blowing, on the highest setting, with one 2 amp battery. Not great, but efficient for my needs.

Love my blower it works well

I almost sent this back. It's smaller than the pictures indicate. But, after using it, it is my go-to blower in the shop. It ain't for blowing leaves around your yard. It WILL blow leaves off your patio. I find it so handy for small quick jobs like blowing off the miter saw before bringing it inside. The low speed is handy when you want controlled airlow and less movement. The high speed mode does a great job moving saw dust. I am using older 2.0ah batteries and they run quite awhile. The size makes it easy to pack for mobile jobs.

This blower is top of the line in form and function in its class and it may be in a class all its own. The key to this blower is using an 8ah battery. I was able to get a solid hour on high with the 8ah battery, enough to blow a rather large backyard and decent sized front yard, the garage and sidewalks and still have one bar on the battery. Having the entire line of Bosch tools, I wanted to utilize my 8ah batteries for every project I could think of. This blower does not have the strength of a high-end gas blower and the average homeowner doesn't need a gas blower which is why I chose the Bosch blower. A gas blower will move piles of leaves, this will not, this blower will pile up the leaves for you but will not move the pile it's too small. If you have lots of trees and leaves, I personally will pass on this blower; however, my situation is the opposite, and this blower works perfectly. Never once did the battery get hot or did I get fatigued carrying the blower. The blower moved pine needles, garbage and paper and my parking spaces were beautifully clean afterwards. I like the attachments that come with it allowing you to adjust to the scenario. I will be recommending this blower to my family and friends with the understanding that using it happily will require the 8ah battery.

Terrible. It broke in a year from casual use. Bosch’s warranty sucks and Bosch’s Walnut Creek repair center is unresponsive and unprofessional.
