  • Maxing out at 142 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated backpack blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Stihl BGA 300, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 192 MPH.
  • Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Dewalt DCBL590X1 can reach 450 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on the low end for cordless backpack blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBPX8004-2, which boasts with 800 CFM.
