The CAT DG651's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the CAT DG651 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- It can push air from the nozzle at 170 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.
- If air volume is an important feature, the DG651 by CAT will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 800 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which makes this unit one of the most powerful cordless handheld blowers.
- Thanks to its autonomy of up to 110 mins, the DG651 benefits from a higher run time than many cordless handheld units. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Makita CBU01Z can run for up to 300 minutes and could be worth considering.
