Description
EGO claims a 16:1 mulching ratio—but what happens when you feed it real leaves? We test the EGO POWER+ LV5005 leaf vacuum, mulcher, and 500 CFM blower with moist and dry maple leaves, then look at pickup performance, mulch results, and everyday handling.

From window wells and landscaping to leaf piles, this hands-on review shows where the tool makes sense, its limitations, and what to expect before buying. We also walk through the collection bag, tool-free conversion, impeller, controls, shoulder strap, and blower performance.
Manufacturer specifications:
• Up to 500 CFM in blower mode
• Up to 210 MPH with the tapered nozzle attached
• Claimed 16:1 mulching ratio—actual results depend on the leaves and conditions
• 40-liter collection bag
• Tool-free conversion between vacuum/mulcher and blower
