Zoom on the CAT DG651
The CAT DG651
The CAT DG651 is a cordless handheld blower that is suited for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It sports a max air speed of 170 MPH and a max air volume rating of 800 cubic feet per minute (CFM). 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.
With a 60V brushless motor, the DG651 operates as a fully cordless unit, giving freedom to move around your yard. One 5.0Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 110 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
Thanks to its 3 speed settings and turbo button, the CAT DG651 allows the user to adjust the air output to the task in hand.
With a bare tool weight of 4.85 lbs and 11.25 lbs with the battery, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.
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 handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- The CAT DG651 distinguishes itself among other cordless handheld blowers in the 56 to 60V range for its light bare tool design, weighing only 4.85 lbs without the battery. Should weight be a deciding factor, the EGO LB7654 is worth a look at just 4.6 lbs the bare tool.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a maximum speed of 170 MPH, positioning the DG651 at the forefront in terms of air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the EGO LV5005 and its 210 MPH could be an option to consider.
- For those prioritizing air volume, the CAT's DG651 delivers with a maximum airflow of 800 CFM (cubic feet per minute), surpassing most 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.
- The DG651 boasts a battery life that exceeds many, offering superb longevity compared to other cordless handheld units. Users can enjoy up to 110 minutes of uninterrupted operation. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Echo DPB-2610 can run for up to 175 minutes and could be worth considering.
- 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 DG651 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.
