- Power delivery: Dewalt designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The DCBL722P1 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: Its 5 Ah 20 V Li-ion battery (1 DCB205 battery included) offers a maximum autonomy of 20 minutes on a full charge.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. Among other cordless handheld blowers, the Dewalt DCBL722P1 can be considered light, weighing only 6.8 lbs, battery included.
- Speed Settings: There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the DCBL722P1 offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 66 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Dewalt DCBL722P1 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Its max air speed of 125 MPH places it at the approximate midpoint in comparison to other 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.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Dewalt DCBL722P1 can reach 450 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other cordless handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the CAT DG651, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

It’s powerful enough. The fully charged battery lasts approximately 5 minutes when I am attempting to remove leaves from the driveway. I would not recommend this due to that issue. I cannot clear my driveway without having to charge the battery again. Takes me hours to finish the job.
