The blower in its bare tool (no battery) version weighs 4.6 lbs — the Atlas 56994 is neither the lightest nor the heaviest cordless handheld blower on the market.

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 similar leaf blowers.

  • It can push air from the nozzle at 150 MPH, which puts it ahead of its class in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU01PT and its 208 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • Regarding its air volume, the Atlas 56994 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 605 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

    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$
