Description
The Atlas™ 80V Lithium-Ion Cordless Brushless Blower clears wide areas faster than gas, with no refueling costs, no gas/oil premix and no engine maintenance. An easy-access Turbo button generates a blast of air for clearing heavier debris. The Cruise Control lever is designed for easy one-hand operation.
Zoom on the Atlas 56994
The Atlas 56994
With its cordless handheld design, the Atlas 56994 is a good match for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 605 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 150 MPH. In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
The 56994 is equipped with an 80V brushless motor and runs on battery power, enabling mobility without a cord. This is a bare tool configuration, which means it is supplied without batteries. Its operation needs an 80V Li-ion battery.
There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the 56994 offers variable speed settings and a turbo button, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
With a weight of 4.6 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use in tighter areas. When using a 57014 battery, the total weight of the blower reaches around 7.9 lbs.

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 80V).
- With a weight of 4.6 lbs, the Atlas 56994 offers the lightest weight for a cordless handheld blower in the 60 to 80V range.
- 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 80V. 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.
- As this unit is rated at 605 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most 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, the Atlas 56994 is the cheapest of all 60-80V cordless blowers.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
The bottom line
- Inexpensive
- Brushless motor
- Cruise control
- Light bare tool weight (4.6 lbs)

User Reviews
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 🙂
Caught it on sale for 79$
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
