- Handling: Designed to be handheld, this blower offers excellent maneuverability, making it effortless to carry and use for short periods. At 8.45 lbs (battery included), the CAT DG650 is positioned within the average weight range for cordless handheld blowers, offering a balanced weight profile compared to others in its category.

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).
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 135 MPH, which is on the lower end 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. If air volume is important to you, the EGO LBX1000, with 1000 CFM, could be in your good books.
- When fully charged, the DG650 offers up to 55 minutes of autonomy, which may be considered relatively short compared to cordless handheld units of comparable voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Toro 51822 which offers up to 140 minutes of runtime.
