E-quipment highlight: EGO POWER+ Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher

The latest leaf vacuum, mulcher, and blower three-in-one from electric tool brand EGO promises fully 210 mph of blowing power and enough mulching mayhem to turn 16 bags of autumn leaves into just one for easy fall cleanup.

First shown earlier this year, the EGO POWER+ LV5005 Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher with 500 CFM Blower arrives just in time for 2026 fall cleanup, tackling three of the most tedious jobs in home landscaping with a single battery-powered tool that promises to slash tidying-up time and help save your lower back in the process.

Powered by the same 6.0 Ah EGO 56V ARC Lithium battery found across the brand’s POWER+ lineup and in the back of John Deere’s electric riding mowers, the LV5005 delivers up to 90 minutes of runtime on low setting.

Spend that time blowing leaves into a convenient pile, then suck ’em up and mulch them down with the LV5005’s six-blade metal impeller, which can chop 16 bags of dried leaves down to just one thanks to a claimed 16:1 mulching ratio – a huge deal in neighborhoods and municipalities that can charge as much as $7 per yard waste bag for pickup. Then, when you’re ready to swap back to blower mode, a tool-free tube swap makes it easy to switch back and move on to the next pile.

Get it done


90 minutes is a lot of runtime for a de-leafing session, although exactly how much yard you can cover will probably depend on how much leaf-blowing and vacuuming you’re doing and how aggressively you’re leaning on the power dial – but if you’re thinking about a 1/4 acre lot per battery I think you’ll be right on it.

You can order the EGO POWER+ Leaf Vacuum and Mulcher with 500 CFM Blower as a standalone tool or with a 6.0Ah ARC Lithium battery and 320W charger. Either way, you get the vacuum tube, leaf bag, blower tube, tapered nozzle, and shoulder strap, and durable IPX5-rated weather-resistant construction promises years of use, backed up by a 5 year limited tool warranty and 3 year limited battery warranty.

I’ve been involved in the electric vehicle transition in one way or another since 1997, and have covered the industry as a journalist since 2008. You can catch more of my work on Quick Charge and The Heavy Equipment Podcast with Mike Switzer.
