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.

This blower is robust and efficient, providing great utility and ease of operation. While it may generate some noise, it is significantly quieter compared to gasoline-powered machines. Hearing protection is recommended due to its high-pitched sound. It effectively cleans tractors after mowing, as well as RTVs, driveways, and front walkways. Additionally, it can be used to clear large decks of heavy twigs, leaves, and similar debris after changing or charging the battery.

Ok I just received this 3/5/24 I charged the battery all the way and used it 3 cars to blow water off and on rims and grills. The 20v 5 hour battery that came with it died. I put in a fully charged 20 v 2 hr battery and it killed that 1 in 4 minutes. I’m going to charge them again and give her another shot. I has good power when a fresh battery is put in on it but after a few minutes it kills the battery so far not impressed. May have to return.
I am adding to my first review. I purchased a 2nd 20v 5AH battery. When it came in it had 1 bar on the battery life indicator. I charged it and it showed charged in 20 minutes. That didn’t seem right so I took it off the charger and reinsert it and the indicator showed it wasnt charged yet. I left it longer and it fully charged later. I did the same to the first battery and it made a difference. The batteries are lasting longer and the blower itself is working as advertised and I am giving it a much deserved 5 stars now. I actually don’t believe in giving a great review within a week of receiving a product. It takes a bit to make sure it works correctly to give a good review. This is a good product in my opinion noe that I have used it worked out the kinks.

This is actually a pretty powerful electric blower. It is also quite light on weight and is easy to use it. I really love this blower.

After reading reviews for this blower, as well as others, I finally settled on this one. It’s nice, fairly lightweight, and can definitely move some air. It’s a very good blower, BUT, like a lot of the reviews have said, it drains its battery fairly quickly. If on at full power for an extended period of time, you may get 12-15 minutes of battery life out of it. I’m guesstimating, since I don’t squeeze the trigger all the way down unless necessary. It also has a toggle to lock the blowing power wherever you want to set it. I use this around my house, so I don’t feel a need to buy a second battery for it (DeWalt batteries, like the ones for my drill, can be used, but I might get 5 or 6 minutes out of those, since they aren’t the exact same XD battery). If you think you’ll need an extra XD battery, buy one! I definitely like DeWalt products, and I love not having to deal with a cord.
