Zoom on the Greenworks BL40B411
The Greenworks BL40B411
The Greenworks BL40B411 is a cordless handheld blower that is a good match for homeowners with an average-sized yard that requires regular upkeep, generally around a quarter to half an acre.
It is rated for a max air volume of 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 120 MPH. This balance means the blower is suitable for light clearing across small yards, patios, driveways, or garden paths.
This model comes with a 40V brushed motor, designed for cordless use and easy maneuvering. One 4.0Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 34 minutes of runtime when fully charged. This battery can also act as a power bank, since it features a built-in USB port that will allow you to charge all your portable electronic devices, including phones and tablets.
The Greenworks BL40B411 features customizable airflow through its variable speed settings and effortless speed maintenance with built-in cruise control.
This blower weighs 4.6 lbs as a bare tool and 7.7 lbs with the battery, this handheld blower makes one-handed operation straightforward.

The Greenworks BL40B411's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Greenworks BL40B411 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- When compared to other cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range, the Greenworks BL40B411 stands out for its lower bare tool weight: just 4.6 lbs. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- At full power, this blower maxes out at 120 MPH, placing it on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Husqvarna 350iB, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 200 MPH.
- The BL40B411 is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 450 CFM, which is common for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Husqvarna 350iB, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Autonomy-wise, with up to 34 minutes of autonomy on a full charge, the BL40B411 is on the low end when compared with other cordless handheld units of similar voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- While runtime is an important metric, it is closely tied to battery capacity. To understand performance more clearly, it’s also useful to look at runtime efficiency, how long the unit runs relative to its battery size. In terms of runtime efficiency, the Greenworks BL40B411 ranks on the lower side, delivering less runtime per unit of battery capacity than many comparable battery-powered handheld blowers. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Stihl BGA 50 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 0.8 minutes per Wh.
The bottom line
- Battery doubles as a power bank
- Cruise control
- Light bare tool weight (4.6 lbs)
- Decent CFM (450 CFM)
- Brushed motor
- Low MPH (120 MPH)
- Low autonomy (34 mins)
- Low power efficiency
