Zoom on the Husqvarna 530iB
The Husqvarna 530iB
The Husqvarna 530iB 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 sports a max air speed of 152 MPH and a max air volume rating of 588 cubic feet per minute (CFM). In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
Equipped with a 36V brushless motor, the unit operates on battery power for untethered use. This version is a bare tool, so batteries are not included. To function, it requires a 36V BLi-X battery.
For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the 530iB offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 5.95 lbs and is built for one-handed operation with precise airflow control.

The Husqvarna 530iB's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Husqvarna 530iB compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- Weighing 5.95 lbs, the Husqvarna 530iB is comparable in weight to most cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 152 MPH, which is within the expected range for battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Husqvarna 530iB boasts an impressive airflow, reaching 588 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute), positioning it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
