DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Leaf Blower, 125-MPH, 450-CFM (DCBL722P1)

Did a lot of research on battery powered blowers. Finally decided on DeWalt primarily due to the fact I have a lot of DeWalt battery powered tools and for my feeling that DeWalt generally has high quality equipment and stands behind their products. I’m very pleased with this unit. I have a gas powered Stihl blower that I use a lot for blowing sand/dirt/leaves/etc. off driveway. Wanted this DeWalt primarily for blowing out shop area after grinding metal/sawing wood/sanding/etc. It easily handles that task and I now find I use it for most all my needs except for the heaviest materials like piles of dirt or gravel. The nozzle is a bit larger opening, but it has great force, is light weight, easy to use and the battery life is great. I have used all sizes of battery below the 5.0 Ah. They all work well, just don’t last as long. Even the smallest battery allows me plenty of charge to blow out the shop floor (38’x38’). The straight thru flow of air from rear to front makes a lot of sense and is said to cut down on some of the moving parts required in other blowers that wear out/break/etc. This product exceeded my expectations. It does cost more than many “similar” type units, but you definitely get what you pay for...in my opinion it is a very good value, especially if you alread have DeWalt batteries.

If you are considering a leaf blower, I highly recommend this model. It is powerful and simple to use. It has great battery life, as do all my DeWalt cordless tools. Buy an extra battery and you can get a tremendous amount of work done with this tool. I love it!

Performance and Power: I find the blower highly effective for residential tasks, with ample power to clear leaves, dirt, and small debris from various surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and lawns. It compares favorably to corded blowers in terms of power and efficiency. Battery Life and Usage: The battery life can be a concern, especially under heavy use. I recommend having extra batteries for continuous work. In hot conditions, the batteries may overheat and shut down before they are fully depleted. Using a 5Ah or larger battery seems to provide a better experience. By controlling the speed, I can manage battery usage more effectively, often completing tasks with less power. Design and Usability: The blower is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a good choice for those who find gas blowers too heavy or cumbersome. Its ergonomic design allows for comfortable use over extended periods, suitable even for individuals with physical limitations like arthritis. Noise Level: It operates quieter compared to gas blowers, which is great for maintaining a peaceful neighborhood environment. Customer Service: My experience with DEWALT's customer service has been positive, especially noting an instance where a faulty blower was replaced promptly. Additional Features: The variable speed trigger enhances control over the blowing power. The cordless design is convenient, eliminating the need for extension cords or handling gas. Compatibility with Other Tools: The compatibility of its batteries with other DEWALT tools is a significant advantage. Durability: The blower is generally durable, though there have been rare instances of malfunction. Overall Satisfaction: I am highly satisfied with the blower and would recommend it for residential use. However, for heavy-duty tasks like large-scale leaf cleanup, it might not be the best fit. Miscellaneous: One downside is the lack of leaf mulching capability. It's also useful for blowing off vehicles and small outdoor spaces. The cost of additional batteries can be a concern.

Uses a lot of battery very fast but works great otherwise

The best around I returned one to get this one after using my brothers. I’m obsessed and use it to clear trails in the woods. Porch is pristine now haha. Comes with small battery and charger. Not very loud. Lightweight and easy to control. Good value

High quality as always. Easy to operate. My wife loves it because she doesn't have to deal with the gas and oil and trying to get it to start.

Extreme raw blower power, it even sounds a little like a jet engine. I can't believe how many leaves I moved in a few minutes. The trigger is marvelously responsive. The blower wastes no time spooling up, you have instant full power blower at the touch of the trigger. Handling is balanced and light, lighter than any blower that powerful has a right to be, compliments of the brushless design. You won't be disappointed, you will blow your whole property in giddy joy of how easy it is.

This DeWalt battery-powered blower is seriously impressive. Tons of power, lightweight, and so easy to grab for quick clean-ups. It’s quickly become my go-to tool for the yard. I even bought a second one as a gift for my dad, who used to swear by his gas blower. He didn’t think an electric could match the power — but after using this, he actually got rid of his gas blower entirely. If you want the power of gas without the hassle, this blower is the way to go.
