Thanks for the replies.
I have both the wired electric blower/vacuum that I used to chop up small tree debris from a hail storm a few years ago, and a back-pack gas blower we use for the mountain of cottonwood leaves in the yard.
I wanted the battery operated blower for a quick sweep of my deck and lower level patio that would only take 10-15 minutes without dragging cords or hefting the back-pack gas operated blower.
30-45 minutes is longer than I had hoped. I couldn't find a straight answer in the various forums or on YouTube about the actual run time.
Thanks again!
