What Milwaukee Blower Will You Choose?
The M18 and Gen II are fantastic power tools to help you maintain your home and professional landscaping needs. Here is our take: we appreciate that Milwaukee’s blowers are part of the M18 FUEL system. They are equipped with a POWERSTATE brushless motor and REDLINK Plus intelligence and are compatible with Milwaukee’s M18 lithium-ion battery.
While we think the M18 blower is an excellent choice, we especially enjoy the Gen II model because it is smaller, lightweight, and more powerful than the previous model. Our eyes are on the Gen II model, but you cannot go wrong with either Milwaukee blower.
