The Dewalt DCBL722P1 in use

  • Power delivery: If you don’t like dealing with cords, you will be delighted to know that this blower is equipped with a brushless, battery-operated motor.
  • Battery: With its 5 Ah 20 V Li-ion battery (1 DCB205 battery included), the Dewalt DCBL722P1 has a standard, full-charge run time of up to 20 minutes.

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).

  • Forced air exiting this blower has been clocked at a max speed of 125 MPH. This puts the DCBL722P1 ahead of the pack as far as air speed is concerned in 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.
  • If air volume is an important feature, the DCBL722P1 by Dewalt will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most 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.
  • Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 20 minutes from its battery, which means the DCBL722P1 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Kobalt KHB 4224A-03 which offers up to 50 minutes of runtime.

Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:

    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.

You can compare as many blowers as you wish. However, for the best results, we recommend you to compare only 2 blowers at a time.
