Description
The 20V MAX* Brushless Handheld Blower provides the ability to clear debris with an air volume of up to 450 cubic feet per minute and up to 125 miles per hour with the concentrator nozzle. With a lightweight and ergonomic design, the blower gives users directional control and tackles user fatigue. The variable-speed trigger and speed lock give you full power control.
Zoom on the Dewalt DCBL722P1
The Dewalt DCBL722P1 is a cordless handheld blower that is appropriate for homeowners with residential properties where lawns or gardens fall between a quarter and half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 125 miles per hour (MPH). These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
The DCBL722P1 is equipped with a 20V brushless motor and runs on battery power, enabling mobility without a cord. It comes with one 5.0Ah battery which can provide up to 20 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
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.
With a bare tool weight of 5.4 lbs and 6.8 lbs with the battery, this handheld unit can be guided with one hand to direct airflow where needed.

The Dewalt DCBL722P1's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Dewalt DCBL722P1 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- The Dewalt DCBL722P1 tips the scales at 5.4 lbs (bare tool), a weight that's typical for many cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Worx WG543 is worth a look at just 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a maximum speed of 125 MPH, positioning the DCBL722P1 at the forefront in terms of air velocity among battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. 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.
- Regarding its air volume, the Dewalt DCBL722P1 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 450 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Dewalt DCBL724W1, with 550 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 20 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the DCBL722P1's runtime is below average among cordless handheld units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 minutes of runtime.
- Because larger batteries naturally increase runtime, it can be helpful to consider runtime efficiency, a measure of how effectively a blower uses the energy available. With its current setup, the Dewalt DCBL722P1 offers a lower level of runtime efficiency compared to the other compared battery-powered handheld models. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Ryobi ONE+ SWEEPER P2102 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 1.28 minutes per Wh.

User Reviews
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.
