Wife bought the same one. It lead to the whole Atlas fleet. The only one in that series I don't like is the string trimmer. The rest have been great for homeowner use.
Cordless hand held blower

The Greenworks blower that you posted for $150 is renewed/remanufactured, not new. FYI, the Greenworks and Atlas blowers are made by the same manufacturer in China. Only difference is the color and the batteries are slightly different to prevent interchange.
This is stupidest part of all cordless tools. Standardize and sell more tools. Don’t savage the public on battery margins
Correct, When I posted.. shows renewed in Giant letters?
less than half price for recon is a good deal imo. Also a much bigger battery ecosystem with greenworks.
But the OP's wife is happy so none of this is really relevant to him.
Which manufacturer is it? The 80v stuff seems pretty good. 40v more .. ok than good.
Here is a link to the history of Greenworks operation and growth into a major player in the electric powered lawn equipment market. The Harbor Freight association appears ~1/4 way into the article and they also make some of Lowe's OPE like the 80V Kobalt mower.Correct, When I posted.. shows renewed in Giant letters?

Greenworks Growth Story
I have a Ryobi 18v with 275 CFM I think, that does an excellent job for my yard work been using it for last 7 years and still going strong. Recently though I bought a small handheld Ryobi blower to just grab something quick and handy and yet have some mighty power. This little guy can do 220 CFM I think and I bought it to blow the water off my vehicle after a car wash.I'm thinking hand held just little porch area you'll have her doing the parking lot

I kind of got into electric power equipment by accident. I went to buy a mower for trimming around the house and field, and ended up buying a returned/clearanced Ryobi self propelled mower and an extra battery for a steal at HD. Well, one thing led to another and I bought a blower, that used the same battery, now three batteries. I wanted a blower and, guess what, a Ryobi and battery, 4 batteries. Then I thought I'd like to have a arborist chainsaw, and you guessed it, a Ryobi and another battery, now totalling 5 batteries. I then bought a weedeater, 6 batteries.
All this took a few years to play out and there were never any times I wish I'd gone any other direction.
The blower is very good, equal to the best medium duty gas blowers, and it has a momentary button that gives it max power for heavy duty use, equalling really powerful gas blowers. I like it. I like all the tools and even the chainsaw has amazed at it's cutting.
I'm one of those guys who said NO CORDLESS tools on the farm, well, I was wrong. No gas or oil, (except chain lube) and ready to use in a second.
So, I recommend Ryobi blowers, ( and everything else ).
