The Black+Decker NSW18's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Black+Decker NSW18 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).

  • Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 120 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Ryobi ONE+ HYBRID P2170 and its 150 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • It’s capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 90 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This places it at the low end compared to other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the RIDGID R01601K, which boasts with 510 CFM.
  • Autonomy-wise, with up to 20 minutes of autonomy on a full charge, the NSW18 is on the low end when compared with other cordless handheld units of similar voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Kobalt KHB 4224A-03 which offers up to 50 minutes of runtime.
