Description
Overview of the Craftsman CMCBL730P1
- Power: The Craftsman CMCBL730P1 can expel 410 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 110 MPH.
- Power delivery: This blower has a brushless, battery-operated motor. Thus, the user won’t have to worry about tripping over pesky cords when they’re busy working their lawn.
- Battery: It has a 5 Ah 20 V Li-ion battery (1 CMCB205 battery combo included) that should work reliably for up to 24 minutes if completely charged.
- Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. All told (including the battery), it weighs 9.2 lbs — the Craftsman CMCBL730P1 is neither the lightest nor the heaviest cordless handheld blower on the market.
- Speed Settings: In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Craftsman CMCBL730P1 to match.

The Craftsman CMCBL730P1's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Craftsman CMCBL730P1 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- Forced air leaving this blower’s nozzle has been clocked at 110 MPH, placing the CMCBL730P1 right in line with the average air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU07SM1 and its 143 MPH could be an option to consider.
- The CMCBL730P1 is powerful, with an airflow rating of 410 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 RIDGID R01601K, with 510 CFM, could be in your good books.
- The autonomy of the CMCBL730P1 aligns with the industry standard for cordless handheld units in the 18V to 24V range, offering up to 24 minutes of operation when fully charged. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Ryobi PBLLB01K can run for up to 60 minutes and could be worth considering.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other cordless blowers, the Craftsman CMCBL730P1 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
The bottom line
- Inexpensive
- Brushless motor

About Craftsman
Craftsman is a label which traces its roots to 1927, when it was first registered by the Sears department store. The brand has been only recently acquired by Stanley Black & Decker. Their products seem to be assembled in the US, from materials that are sourced abroad. Their selection features a wide range of lawn keeping equipment, including several leaf blowers. Little by little, Craftsman are diversifying their leaf blower offers. Craftsman blowers used to be exclusively handheld and electrically powered, but we now see backpack and gas-powered models. Both their price and specs range from the lower to middle tier.

I purchased mine as a combo kit from Lowes on their Labor day sale for $199. If you purchased the kit you received a 4ah battery for free along with it. It was the best deal I could find for a brushless blower and trimmer. I took the blower out of the box and put the tube in and it would not lock in. just would fall out. I looked and noticed the spring catch system to hold it had no tension on it. Quickly disappointed I took it back to Lowes showed them the defect and they swapped it out for me. I used the new trimmer and blower on my grass. About 5 minutes in on blowing off my sidewalks, porch and patio the tube falls out. The spring catch is broken already. Craftsman is sending me a replacement. It will take 2-3 weeks. Is it going to have the same issue after 1 or 2 uses? Still to be determined. Maybe Lowes received a bad batch. Has anyone else had this issue?
