A quiet blower that shares batteries with DeWalt's 20V/60V tools. Bob Vila liked its runtime, but Pro Tool Reviews measured low blowing force, and it's back-heavy and expensive. Amazon owners rate battery life negatively.
In the box: 1 x FLEXVOLT 4Ah battery and charger (Amazon listing title; Bob Vila)
Top complaints
- Battery life complaints
Battery life is a negative aspect in Amazon's review summary, with several owners reporting issues.
- Lower blowing force than rivals
Pro Tool Reviews measured 16.8 N (8th of 9) and it pushed the ramp target only 6.25 in. Airflow is a mixed aspect on Amazon.
- Back-heavy and expensive
Bob Vila says the weight sits too far back, so the tube needs constant effort to angle down, and it was the priciest handheld tested. Pro Tool Reviews also calls it expensive and hard to hang on a hook.
What owners love
- Quiet
86 dB at the ear on high, the lowest in Bob Vila's group. Pro Tool Reviews says DeWalt fixed the previous model's loud, grating pitch (84 dB(A)).
- Good runtime
About 30 minutes at full force in Bob Vila's test (its best-runtime pick); 18 min 40 s on high in Pro Tool Reviews' test, 3rd of 9.
- Handles heavy debris
Amazon owners say it clears wet leaves and twigs and even porch snow, and they rate value positively. A shoulder strap is included (Pro Tool Reviews).
- You want maximum blowing force
- Back-heavy balance would tire you
- You're buying into a battery system from scratch on a budget
- Owners of DeWalt 20V/60V FLEXVOLT batteries
- Quieter operation
- Midsize yards
