Dewalt 20v max brushless handheld blower

Best Dewalt 20V Max Brushless Handheld Blower

As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Every fact in this guide comes from the product names, specification fields and seller descriptions on the 8 Amazon listings below. Those details have not been checked against the blowers themselves, so treat them as the sellers’ published figures and confirm anything that matters to you on the product page before you order.

Every listing in this set is a tool-only blower from a brand other than DEWALT. Each one says it works with DEWALT 20V MAX batteries, and one listing states outright that it is not a DEWALT blower. If you are looking for a DEWALT-made blower, none of these is one. If you already own 20V MAX batteries and want a handheld blower that works with them, the set gives you a useful comparison. The sections below explain what each listing offers and where the listings disagree with themselves.

Who this guide is for

This guide is for owners who already have DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and want a handheld blower for leaves, driveways, patios, garages or cars without buying a new battery system. It is also for buyers who want to see the airflow, weight, noise and warranty figures side by side before they choose.

It is not a ranking. No blower in this set is named the winner. The right one depends on how heavy a tool you can hold for a long session, how much noise you can accept, whether you need a vacuum function or an accessory kit, and whether the warranty matters to you.

Read this first: these are not DEWALT tools

Before you compare any numbers, understand what you are buying. All eight listings are sold under other brands: PWOKVEC, Koesymber, Neareen, Nelhalt, Houselife, FREPEAK, YAWV and ALDIPRO. Each describes compatibility with DEWALT 20V MAX batteries, and each ships without a battery or charger.

Three practical consequences follow. First, support and warranty come from the seller or brand named on each listing, not from DEWALT. Second, the battery compatibility lists are written by each seller, so you must check the battery model number yourself. Third, performance figures such as airflow and speed are the sellers’ figures, and they vary a great deal across this set. Those three points shape every decision below.

Quick comparison table

The table pulls the main specification fields for each listing. “Not stated” means the listing does not give that figure. “Not confirmed” means the listing gives figures that disagree, and the product notes explain each case once.

Listing Air volume (CFM, listed) Top speed (listed) Item weight (listed) Noise (listed) Included (listed) Warranty
PWOKVEC 600 CFM Brushless Blower 600 (turbo) 125 mph Not confirmed Up to 80 dB Blower, extension nozzle Not stated
Koesymber 600 CFM Cordless Blower 600 125 mph Not confirmed Not stated Blower, extension nozzle, shoulder strap Not stated
Neareen Cordless Blower, Heavy-Duty 600 (turbo) 125 mph (with concentrator) Not confirmed Up to 85 dB Not stated Not stated
Nelhalt 600 CFM Cordless Blower 600 125 mph (with concentrator) Not confirmed 75 to 80 dB Blower, extension nozzle Not stated
Houselife 800 CFM Cordless Blower 800 300 mph 3.9 lb 65 dB Blower (tool only) 1 year, manufacturer
FREPEAK 720 CFM 2-in-1 Blower 720 210 mph 1.7 lb 60 dB Blower (bare tool) Not stated
YAWV 6-Speed Blower and Vacuum Not stated 180 mph 1.67 kg Not stated Collection bag Not stated
ALDIPRO 700 CFM Blower 700 200 mph 4.2 lb Not stated Not stated 1 year, manufacturer

Three things stand out. Four listings give a weight that conflicts with a second weight in the same listing, so their weights are not confirmed. Two listings give a case size of 1 by 1 by 1 inch, which cannot be right for a blower, so their dimensions are not confirmed. And every listing in the set is tool-only, so the battery and charger are an extra cost in every case.

Battery and charger: what the tool-only label means

All eight listings state that the battery and charger are not included. That matters for two reasons. The price of the blower alone is not the price you will pay if you do not already own a compatible battery and charger. It also means the runtime figures in the listings depend on a battery you must supply.

The listings give different battery guidance. Three say a battery of 5 amp-hours or more is recommended for longer tasks, but the battery is not included. The PWOKVEC description says the blower is optimized for a 4.0Ah pack, with up to 30 minutes in standard mode and 12 minutes in turbo mode, and it says the blower can cover as much as half an acre of yard work. The Nelhalt listing gives a runtime estimate of 15 to 120 minutes, and it says the figure varies with battery capacity and mode. A range that wide is useful only as a reminder that runtime depends on your battery and how you use the tool.

Battery model lists also differ across listings. Four listings name six DEWALT battery models in the specification fields. The PWOKVEC, Neareen, and Houselife descriptions name DCB205 as well, and the Houselife description also names DCB206. The Koesymber specification names the same six models without DCB205. Three listings name only a general 20V MAX compatibility. Check your own battery’s model number against the listing before you order.

Weight, noise and airflow in plain terms

The three figures that shape daily use are weight, noise and airflow. Read them in that order.

Weight. A lighter blower is easier to hold for a long leaf-clearing session or to aim at a gutter. The Houselife, FREPEAK and YAWV listings give single weights of 3.9 pounds, 1.7 pounds and about 3.7 pounds, and the ALDIPRO listing gives 4.2 pounds. The other four listings have conflicting weights, as explained in their notes below. For those four, the lower of the two figures is the safer one to use for planning, but neither is confirmed.

Noise. The quietest figures in the set are 60 dB for FREPEAK and 65 dB for Houselife. PWOKVEC states up to 80 dB, Nelhalt states 75 to 80 dB with hearing protection recommended, and Neareen states up to 85 dB. Koesymber, YAWV and ALDIPRO do not state a noise figure. Because all of these are the sellers’ figures, a noise figure is most useful for comparing one listing with another rather than as a measured result.

Airflow. The listed maximum airflow runs from 600 cubic feet per minute to 800. Several listings give 600 CFM as a turbo or maximum figure, and their normal airflow is lower. For example, the PWOKVEC and Neareen specification fields give normal airflow of 200 to 400 CFM and a maximum of 600 CFM in turbo. Compare figures that describe the same mode. A higher maximum does not always mean more useful airflow for light leaves.

How to choose a blower from this set

Start with the battery and the job, then narrow the list.

Do you already own a compatible battery? If not, the blower’s price is only part of the cost. Plan for a battery and charger from the start.

What is the main job? For lawn leaves and driveways, airflow and weight matter most. For car drying, gutter cleaning or cleaning under seats, a nozzle set and a light tool matter more. The Houselife listing names the broadest set of uses, including car drying, gutter cleaning, and snow removal. The FREPEAK and YAWV listings describe vacuum modes.

Do you need a vacuum function? Two listings describe a blower and vacuum in one tool. In the FREPEAK listing, the description mentions a vacuum tube and collection bag, but the included-components field lists only a bare tool. In the YAWV listing, the description lists several accessories, but the included-components field lists only a collection bag. Confirm the kit before you rely on the vacuum function.

Does the warranty matter? Two listings state a one-year manufacturer warranty, Houselife and ALDIPRO. The other six state no warranty in the fields, or leave the field empty. Because none is a DEWALT product, the warranty you can rely on is the seller’s.

Do you need the weight confirmed? If the weight is important for a long session, avoid the four listings with conflicting weights until the seller confirms the figure.

Checks to run before you buy

  1. Confirm your battery model. Compare the model number on your battery with the list in the listing. Where the fields and the description name different models, ask the seller.
  2. Confirm the weight. Where two weights appear, ask which one is correct.
  3. Confirm the included items. If you want a nozzle, a strap, a bag or a vacuum tube, check the list before you order.
  4. Check the dimensions. Where the case size is given as 1 by 1 by 1 inch, the figure is not usable for planning.
  5. Check the warranty and the seller. Note which brand offers support, and whether a warranty is stated.
  6. Check the noise and airflow for the mode you will use. A maximum figure is not the same as normal use.
  7. Check the speed figures. Some listings give top speeds with a concentrator nozzle, which is a different setup from the standard tube.

Product-by-product notes

The notes follow the order of the table. Each one covers the listed facts, the points that need checking, and who the blower suits.

PWOKVEC 600 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower

The PWOKVEC 600 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower is a yellow and black handheld blower with a Brushless Motor 2.0 and a variable-speed trigger. The listed normal airflow is 200 to 400 CFM, rising to a maximum of 600 CFM in turbo. The normal wind speed is 45 to 90 mph, and the turbo speed is up to 125 mph. The package includes an extension nozzle, and the listing describes a 3.25-inch steel nozzle. The blower has a cruise control lock and an anti-vibration grip.

The weight does not agree within the listing. The item weight is 6 pounds, but the tool weight is listed as about 3.6 pounds. The item weight is therefore Not confirmed, because the listing gives two figures that cannot both be right for the same tool. The model number is LB600, which is the same as one of the Nelhalt listings in this set, with the same case dimensions. Confirm which seller you are buying from before you order.

The battery recommendation field says 5 amp-hours or more for longer tasks, but the description says the blower is optimized for a 4.0Ah pack. The warranty is not stated.

Best for: owners of a compatible battery who want a blower with cruise control and a steel nozzle, and who can confirm the weight before they buy.

Avoid if: you need a confirmed weight, or you want a DEWALT-branded tool and its support.

Koesymber 600 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower

The Koesymber 600 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower lists a brushless motor, a motor speed of 10,000 to 16,000 RPM, and a turbo speed of up to 18,000 RPM. The maximum airflow is 600 CFM, and the top speed is 125 mph. The listing names a 5-speed control, over-temperature protection, and under-voltage protection. The package includes an extension nozzle and a shoulder strap, and the handle is rubber coated.

The weight does not agree. The item weight is 6 pounds, but the product weight is listed as 4.6 pounds. The weight is therefore Not confirmed. The maximum air speed field reads “5,” which does not give a unit or a figure, so that field is Not stated. The model number is ZS8203, and the warranty is not stated.

The recommended uses include leaves, grass clippings, dust and debris, and the recommended surfaces include lawn, garden, driveway, patio, deck and jobsite.

Best for: buyers who want a shoulder strap with a 600 CFM blower and a broad list of surfaces.

Avoid if: the weight matters to you, since the two figures disagree, or you need a stated air speed.

Neareen Cordless Leaf Blower, Heavy-Duty

The Neareen Cordless Leaf Blower, Heavy-Duty is a plastic, brushless blower with a variable speed trigger, speed lock and anti-vibration soft grip. The listing gives an eco mode for light tasks and a turbo boost mode. The normal airflow is 200 to 400 CFM and the maximum is 600 CFM, with 125 mph top speed when used with the concentrator nozzle. The noise figure is up to 85 dB, which is the highest noise figure in this set.

The weight does not agree. The item weight is 2.68 kg, about 5.9 pounds, but the tool weight is listed as 3.5 pounds. So the weight stays Not confirmed. The dimensions are 10 by 6 by 14 inches, and the model number is EF-20BL. The included components are not stated. The listing says the battery and charger are not included, and the warranty is not stated.

Best for: buyers who want a blower with eco and turbo modes and a lower listed tool weight, and who can accept the 85 dB noise figure.

Avoid if: you need a confirmed weight, a quiet tool, or a stated list of included items.

Nelhalt 600 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower

The Nelhalt 600 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower is a brushless blower with a 3.25-inch heavy-duty nozzle, a variable-speed trigger with speed lock, and a non-slip rubber grip. The maximum airflow is 600 CFM in turbo boost, and the maximum air speed is 125 mph with the concentrator nozzle. The description says the honeycomb airflow system delivers 50 percent more airflow than standard fans, which is a seller claim and not a measured result.

The weight does not agree. The title and description give 3.6 pounds, but the item weight field gives 6 pounds. Weight therefore stays Not confirmed. The runtime estimate is 15 to 120 minutes, depending on battery and mode, and the noise is 75 to 80 dB with hearing protection recommended. The model number is LB600, the same as the PWOKVEC listing. The included components are a blower and an extension nozzle. The warranty is not stated.

Best for: buyers who want a nozzle and speed lock with a stated noise range and who will check the weight.

Avoid if: the weight matters to you, or you need a runtime figure you can plan around, since the estimate is a broad range.

Houselife 800 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower

The Houselife 800 CFM Cordless Leaf Blower lists the highest airflow in the set, at 800 CFM, and a top speed of 300 mph. The 300 mph figure is the highest top speed in the set and is the seller’s figure, not a measured one. The listing gives a noise figure of 65 dB, and the item weight is 3.9 pounds, which the description repeats as 3.92 pounds.

The listing names a one-touch cruise control and a continuously variable speed switch. The package includes two tubes: a long tube for broad patio clearing, and a short tube with a rubber-coated edge for vehicle surfaces. The listing names many uses, including car drying, gutter cleaning, driveway cleaning, dusting, lawn maintenance, leaf removal, patio cleaning, snow removal and yard cleanup. The manufacturer warranty is one year.

The dimensions field reads 1 by 1 by 1 inch, which cannot be the size of a blower, so the dimensions are Not confirmed. The battery models named in the description are DCB200, DCB203, DCB204, DCB205, DCB206 and DCB240. The specification fields do not name a battery list, so check your battery model against the description before you order.

Best for: buyers who want the broadest list of uses, a one-year manufacturer warranty, and a light tool.

Avoid if: you need confirmed dimensions, or you need a battery list in the specification fields.

FREPEAK 720 CFM Cordless 2-in-1 Blower

The FREPEAK 720 CFM Cordless 2-in-1 Blower is a yellow, pistol-grip blower. The listing gives 720 CFM of airflow, 210 mph maximum speed, and 60 dB noise. The item weight is 1.7 pounds, the lightest listed weight in the set, and the dimensions are 6.3 by 4 by 11.1 inches. The description adds an LED light for cars and dark corners.

The description says the blower can switch to vacuum mode, with a vacuum tube and collection bag. The included-components field, however, lists only a bare tool. Whether the vacuum kit is included is Not confirmed. The speed field reads 990,000 rpm. That number is far outside the range of the other listings and is not a usable motor speed, so it is not used in this guide. The recommended-use field says leaf removal, while the description covers cars, patios, garages and campsites. The battery and charger are not included, and the warranty is not stated.

Best for: buyers who want the quietest listed blower with a light weight and an LED light, and who will confirm the vacuum kit if they need it.

Avoid if: you need the vacuum kit confirmed before you buy, or you need a warranty stated in the listing.

YAWV 6-Speed Blower and Vacuum

The YAWV 6-Speed Blower and Vacuum is a handheld blower with six speeds, from 70 mph to 180 mph, and a motor described as brushless at up to 18,000 RPM. The item weight is 1.67 kilograms, about 3.7 pounds. The listing describes a two-in-one design that can switch between blower and vacuum, and a tube length that can be adjusted.

The included-components field lists only a collection bag. The description lists a flexible pipe, dust collection bag, small and large suction nozzles, an extension tube, two general tubes and an inflation nozzle. These two lists do not agree, so the included items are Not confirmed. The dimensions field reads 1 by 1 by 1 inch, which is not usable, so the dimensions are Not confirmed too. The listing gives no airflow in CFM and no noise figure, and no warranty is stated. It also includes a note that the blower is for use with DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and is not a DEWALT blower.

Best for: buyers who want a blower that also handles inflation and vacuum jobs, if the accessory kit is confirmed.

Avoid if: you need a confirmed accessory list, CFM figures, or a stated warranty.

ALDIPRO 700 CFM Leaf Blower

The ALDIPRO 700 CFM Leaf Blower is a bare-tool blower with a stated airflow of 700 CFM and a top speed of 200 mph. The item weight is 4.2 pounds, which the description repeats. The dimensions are 17.5 by 10.5 by 6 inches. The listing names a throttle lock and a two-speed sliding switch, and the description refers to a copper motor.

The brushless motor is not named in the title or the specification fields. The description does not state the motor type in those words, so brushless is Not stated in the listing. The included components and the noise figure are not stated. The listing gives a one-year manufacturer warranty.

The description lists uses beyond leaves, including pool decks, sawdust in a workshop and snow on a truck windshield. Those are the seller’s suggested uses, and the listing does not test them.

Best for: buyers who want a stated one-year manufacturer warranty, a throttle lock, and a 4.2-pound tool.

Avoid if: you need a brushless motor confirmed, or you need the included items and the noise figure stated.

Best for and avoid if: the set at a glance

Buyers who want a stated warranty should look at Houselife and ALDIPRO, the only two listings with a manufacturer warranty of one year. Buyers who need the lightest listed tool should look at FREPEAK, at 1.7 pounds, then YAWV at about 3.7 pounds and Houselife at 3.9 pounds. Each of those three has a single weight figure that does not conflict with another in its listing. ALDIPRO’s 4.2 pounds is also a single, consistent figure, though heavier.

Buyers who want the most airflow should look at Houselife, at 800 CFM listed. Buyers who want a quieter tool should look at FREPEAK, at 60 dB, and Houselife, at 65 dB.

Buyers who want a vacuum function should look at FREPEAK and YAWV, but both need the included items confirmed before the vacuum function can be relied on.

Buyers who want a strap should look at Koesymber, which lists one. Buyers who want an eco mode should look at Neareen.

Buyers who need a confirmed weight, a confirmed battery list, and a confirmed kit have the fewest options. Most of the set has at least one open question.

Reading airflow and speed in plain terms

Two units appear in almost every listing, and they measure different things. Airflow in cubic feet per minute, CFM, describes how much air the blower moves. Speed in miles per hour, mph, describes how fast the air leaves the nozzle. A blower can post a high mph figure with modest airflow, or the reverse, so neither number alone tells you how the tool will clear a patio.

The listings also mix modes. Several give a maximum figure for turbo mode and a lower figure for normal use. The PWOKVEC and Neareen specification fields show normal airflow between 200 and 400 CFM, with 600 CFM at turbo. The Nelhalt and Neareen 125 mph figures apply with the concentrator nozzle, not the standard tube. When you compare two listings, match the mode and the nozzle before you compare the numbers.

The highest figures in the set are Houselife’s 800 CFM and 300 mph. Both are the seller’s figures. For a light job, such as clearing a few leaves from a patio, a lower airflow with a lighter weight may be easier to use for a full session than the top figure. For heavy wet leaves, the higher figures are the ones to check.

Who should buy one of these, and who should skip them

Buy one if you already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries, you want a handheld blower that uses them, and you have checked the battery model against the listing. Buy one if the job is clearing leaves, dust, or light debris from a lawn, patio, driveway or garage, and you can accept a seller-backed warranty instead of a DEWALT warranty.

Consider a listing with a stated warranty if you want a written commitment from the seller. Houselife and ALDIPRO both state a one-year manufacturer warranty.

Skip them if you want a DEWALT-branded blower or DEWALT support. None of the eight is one.

Skip them if you do not own a compatible battery and charger and cannot budget for one, since every listing is tool-only.

Skip the four with conflicting weights if you plan long sessions and need the weight confirmed. PWOKVEC, Koesymber, Neareen and Nelhalt can still be considered once the seller confirms.

Skip the vacuum-function listings if you need a confirmed kit. FREPEAK and YAWV describe vacuum modes, but their included-components fields do not list the vacuum accessories.

Skip any listing that does not give the noise figure if noise matters where you use the tool. Koesymber, YAWV and ALDIPRO state no noise figure.

Use situations

Lawn leaves and grass clippings. The Koesymber listing names leaves and grass clippings as its recommended uses. The Neareen and Nelhalt listings describe turbo modes for heavier debris, but both need the concentrator nozzle for the stated top speeds.

Driveways and patios. The Houselife listing describes a long tube for broad patio clearing and a short tube for vehicle surfaces. The Koesymber listing names driveway and patio among its surfaces.

Car drying and interior cleaning. The Houselife and FREPEAK listings both describe car use. The FREPEAK description adds an LED light for areas under seats.

Gutters and dusting. The Houselife listing names gutter cleaning and dusting among its uses. Check the reach and the tube before you use it on a ladder.

Inflation. The YAWV description names inflation for camping, boating and floating equipment. Confirm the inflation nozzle is in the kit before you rely on it.

Snow. Several listings name light snow, including Houselife and ALDIPRO. Those are the sellers’ suggested uses.

Care and maintenance

The listings give little detail on care. Keep the air intake and the nozzle clear of debris after each use, store the blower in a dry place, and check the battery contacts before each job. These are general steps rather than listing instructions, and they apply to any battery tool.

The Koesymber listing names over-temperature protection and under-voltage protection. The YAWV description names low-voltage and over-current protection. Those features protect the tool and battery during use, but they do not replace careful use. Let the blower cool if it shuts off, and recharge the battery before the next job.

Where a listing gives a noise figure, use it as a guide to hearing protection. The Nelhalt listing recommends hearing protection at its noise range, and it is a reasonable habit for any of these tools.

Common mistakes

Assuming a DEWALT battery means a DEWALT tool. Every listing here is from another brand. Warranty and support come from the seller.

Forgetting the battery and charger. All eight are tool-only, so your budget needs a battery and charger if you do not already own them.

Trusting a single weight. Four listings give two weights that cannot both be right. Confirm before you plan a long session.

Buying on the maximum airflow alone. A higher maximum does not describe normal use. Compare normal and turbo figures separately.

Assuming the vacuum kit is included. The FREPEAK and YAWV descriptions describe accessories that the included-components fields do not list.

Checking only one battery field. The battery lists differ between the specification fields and the descriptions. Compare the model number on your battery with both.

Using the 1-by-1-by-1-inch dimensions for planning. Those figures are not usable for a blower.

Decision rules

  1. If you need a DEWALT-branded blower, none of these is one. Look for a DEWALT-branded product instead.
  2. If you already own a compatible battery and want the lowest stated weight, shortlist FREPEAK, YAWV and Houselife.
  3. If you need a stated one-year manufacturer warranty, shortlist Houselife and ALDIPRO.
  4. If the weight matters and you must confirm it, avoid PWOKVEC, Koesymber, Neareen and Nelhalt until the seller confirms.
  5. If you need a vacuum function, shortlist FREPEAK and YAWV, and confirm the kit before you order.
  6. If you need a quiet tool, shortlist FREPEAK and Houselife.
  7. If the battery model is not in the listing you are considering, check the seller’s compatibility list before you order.

What the DeWalt-compatible blowers have in common

Every blower in this set is a tool-only purchase that works with DeWalt 20 V Max batteries. The Nelhalt, PWOKVEC, Koesymber and Neareen listings all name DCB200, DCB201, DCB203, DCB204, DCB230 or DCB240 as compatible packs. The ALDIPRO and YAWV listings also say the tool fits DeWalt 20 V Max. None of these tools is listed as a DeWalt product; each listing comes from another brand, and the Nelhalt listing says it works with standard slide-style 20V packs. Check the battery number in your own kit before ordering.

Airflow claims side by side

Airflow figures in this set run from 600 to 800 CFM. The Houselife lists 800 CFM and 300 miles per hour, but its listing gives the airflow with no test conditions. The FREPEAK lists 720 CFM and 210 miles per hour, and the Nelhalt lists 600 CFM and 125 miles per hour with turbo boost. The Nelhalt listing says its 600 CFM rating comes from laboratory testing under ideal conditions and that real performance may vary. The Koesymber lists 600 CFM with a turbo mode of 125 miles per hour and five airflow levels.

Runtime depends on the pack

The PWOKVEC listing recommends a 5 Ah or larger pack. It gives up to 30 minutes on standard mode and 12 minutes on turbo with a 4.0 Ah pack. The ALDIPRO listing gives no runtime, but it does list a 1-year warranty. The Koesymber listing gives a 3-year limited warranty and a 90-day return policy. A larger battery means more runtime, but it also adds weight, so pick a pack that matches the jobs you do most.

Weight and noise

Weight ranges from about 1.3 pounds for the FREPEAK (without battery) to 6 pounds for the Nelhalt and PWOKVEC. The WISLET listing gives 1.5 pounds and says it has built-in overheat protection. The Houselife lists 65 dB, and the FREPEAK lists 60 dB. The Neareen and Koesymber listings do not give a noise figure. Compare these numbers as seller claims. The Nelhalt listing gives 6 pounds in one field and about 3.6 pounds in its bullet, so confirm the weight before you buy.

Which blower to choose

For a large yard or wet leaves, the higher-airflow models such as the Houselife or FREPEAK suit the job, but check the battery requirements first. For light tasks on a patio or car, the WISLET or FREPEAK are easier to handle. For a work bench or garage, the FREPEAK adds a vacuum mode and an LED light. Read the battery, warranty and weight on each listing before you buy.

Air volume and speed

Handheld blowers are rated by air volume in cubic feet per minute and by air speed in miles per hour. The Nelhalt listing gives 600 CFM and 125 MPH in turbo mode, and the PWOKVEC listing gives 600 CFM from a brushless motor. The Houselife listing gives 800 CFM and 300 MPH from a brushless motor with cruise control. The ALDIPRO listing gives 700 CFM and 200 MPH with a copper motor and a two-speed sliding switch. A higher CFM moves more leaves, while a higher MPH moves wet debris and dust more forcefully.

Tool only and battery

Every blower in this set is listed as a bare tool, so you need your own battery and charger. The Nelhalt, PWOKVEC, YAWV and Houselife listings say the battery and charger are not included. The PWOKVEC listing lists the DeWalt 20-volt battery models it fits, including DCB200 and DCB203. Check the battery model on the listing before you buy, because a tool that fits the platform still needs a battery that fits its connector.

Weight and grip

Weight matters on a long clean-up. The Houselife listing is 3.9 pounds, the Nelhalt and PWOKVEC listings 6 pounds each, and the ALDIPRO listing 4.2 pounds. The Nelhalt and PWOKVEC listings describe a non-slip rubber grip for one-handed use. A heavier blower with a longer runtime on a large yard can tire the arm faster than a lighter one, so choose by how long you blow at a time.

Protection and controls

The YAWV listing has built-in low-voltage protection and over-current protection, which the listing says protect the tool and the battery. The ALDIPRO listing has a throttle lock, which keeps the trigger on for long runs. The Houselife listing has cruise control. Look for these controls if you run the blower for long periods, since a throttle lock or cruise control reduces hand fatigue.
