Overview of the CAT DG250
- Power: The CAT DG250 can force 450 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 100 MPH.
- Power delivery: CAT designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The DG250 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: The CAT DG250 is powered by an easy-to-recharge 4 Ah 18 V Li-ion battery (1 DXB4 battery 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. The CAT DG250 distinguishes itself among cordless handheld blowers with its lower weight of 6.9 lbs, battery included.

The CAT DG250's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the CAT DG250 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- Exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 100 MPH, which falls on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU07SM1, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 143 MPH.
- The DG250 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This is certainly on the high end compared to other cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi PBLLB01K, with 510 CFM, could be in your good books.
