Description
Zoom on the CAT DG650
With its cordless handheld design, the CAT DG650 is suited for homeowners with home properties that are not too small or too large, often in the quarter- to half-acre range.
Its maximum output is 700 CFM of air volume and 135 MPH of air speed. To put it simply, it combines strong airflow to move piles of leaves in the yard with enough force to clear heavier material such as pine needles or acorns from patios and walkways.
Equipped with a 60V brushless motor, the unit operates on battery power for untethered use. It comes with one 2.5Ah battery which can provide up to 55 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
With 3 speed settings and a turbo button, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
With a bare tool weight of 4.85 lbs and 8.45 lbs when fully equipped, this handheld unit supports one-handed use in tight areas.
The CAT DG650's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the CAT DG650 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- At only 4.85 lbs (bare tool), the CAT DG650 offers a lighter option within the cordless handheld blowers in the 56 to 60V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the EGO LB7654 is worth a look at just 4.6 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 135 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the EGO LB8803-2, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- Its air volume, rated at 700 CFM, is typical among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the EGO LBX1000, with 1000 CFM, could be in your good books.
- With a runtime of up to 55 minutes on a full charge, the DG650's autonomy is modest compared to other cordless handheld units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Echo DPB-2610 which offers up to 175 minutes of runtime.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. At its measured figures, the CAT DG650 provides an average runtime efficiency, similar to many battery-powered handheld blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Echo DPB-2500, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.64 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 56-60V cordless blowers, the CAT DG650 is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this blower nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
