Description
Overview of the Craftsman CMEBL7000
The Craftsman CMEBL7000
- Power: The Craftsman CMEBL7000 can force 450 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 260 MPH.
- Power delivery: This is a corded blower, so its 12 Amp motor needs to be plugged into a power source during use. Please note that some manufacturers don’t include the cord with the unit. If this is the case, or if you’re looking to buy a backup, please use our gauge calculator to ensure you’re buying the right cord for your blower.
- Handling: With its handheld design, this leaf blower was created with portability in mind. Most users will have no problem using it almost anywhere. Be aware that, at 11.27 lbs, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 is on the heavier side for electric handheld blowers.
- Speed Settings: The Craftsman CMEBL7000 does not have multiple speed settings. Once the blower is turned on, it always operates at the same speed.
- Vacuum: It features a vacuum allowing it to suck up leaf and debris once the sweeping job is complete (11 gallon bag included).
- Mulching: This mulcher’s 12:1 mulching ratio means it can reduce 12 bags of leaves and debris down to one bag of mulch. The unit uses a plastic impeller.

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, walk-behind and gas-powered models. Both their price and specs range from the lower to middle tier.
Warranty Information
The Craftsman CMEBL7000 is covered under a warranty for up to 3 years. This warranty may not cover all parts of the blower.

My Unit did not work at first, the blower now works but I’ve never got the mulcher & vacume to work at all… I have read the manual over a few times ,
I had a green works battery operated blower before. Battery died after a year. Got this electric plug in unit, it was easily to assemble. I took it out for a test try. It has lots of power, more MPH than the other twelve units I looked at. The price was just perfect for what it offers.
Not happy, the thing died on me after the first use!
