Overview of the Atlas 56994
The Atlas 56994
- Power: The Atlas 56994 can force 605 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 150 MPH.
- Power delivery: This blower has a brushless, battery-operated motor. Thus, the user won’t have to worry about tripping over pesky cords when they’re busy working their lawn.
- Battery: The Atlas 56994 is powered by an easy-to-recharge 80 V Li-ion battery (battery not included).
- Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. When compared to other cordless handheld blowers, the Atlas 56994 stands out due to its lower weight: just 4.6 lbs for the blower alone.
- Speed Settings: The Atlas 56994 features customizable airflow through its variable speed settings and effortless speed maintenance with built-in cruise control.

The Atlas 56994's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Atlas 56994 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 60 and 82V).
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 150 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for battery-operated handheld blowers between 60 and 82V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the PRORUN PBL260H and its 190 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Its max air volume rating (605 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Toro 51827, which boasts with 900 CFM.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Atlas 56994 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.

- Lightweight (4.6 lbs)

This blower is very powerful and IMO is a perfect match between CFM and MPH. I love the cruise control and the powerful battery. I have a 4.5 acre lot with lots of border trees and a big driveway. Perfect fall leaf colors too 🙂

I like this leaf blower! Perfect for use around my 5 acre hobby farm!
That Atlas leaf blower stopped working hundred days from purchase. The product warranty only covers 90 days, Therefore I would never purchase another atlas leaf blower
