Description
Featuring a variable speed trigger and a trigger lock that helps users control speed and maintain consistent power, this lightweight handheld blower is ideal for a wide range of jobs ranging from jobsite cleanup to clearing grass clippings.
Zoom on the Dewalt DCBL724W1
The Dewalt DCBL724W1 is a cordless handheld blower that is best suited to homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It is rated for a maximum air volume of 550 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a maximum air speed of 133 miles per hour (MPH). For the user, this translates into a blower that should move leaves effectively across lawn sections and hard surfaces, while also being capable of shifting compacted leaves or light yard debris like twigs.
With a 20V brushless motor, the DCBL724W1 functions as a cordless blower, offering freedom of movement. It is supplied with an 8.0Ah battery which can offer up to 17 minutes of runtime per 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 DCBL724W1 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.
Weighing 8.5 lbs as a bare tool and 10.7 lbs with the battery, the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.
The Dewalt DCBL724W1's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Dewalt DCBL724W1 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- As far as cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range go, the Dewalt DCBL724W1 tips the scales on the heavier bare tool side at 8.5 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Worx WG543 which is only 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- Air exiting this blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 133 MPH, marking it as considerably swifter than most 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 DCBL724W1 by Dewalt will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 550 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which makes this unit one of the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 17 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the DCBL724W1'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. The Dewalt DCBL724W1 shows relatively low runtime efficiency, providing fewer minutes of operation for each unit of battery power. 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.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 18-24V cordless blowers, the Dewalt DCBL724W1 is on the average side of the price range.
