Zoom on the Kobalt KHB 350-06
The Kobalt KHB 350-06
With its cordless handheld design, the Kobalt KHB 350-06 is best suited to homeowners with home properties that are not too small or too large, often in the quarter- to half-acre range.
Its maximum output is 350 CFM of air volume and 100 MPH of air speed. Practically, this means the blower moves small amounts of dry leaves or light yard debris across small yard sections, patios, or driveways with gentle airflow.
With a 40V brushed motor, the KHB 350-06 functions as a cordless blower, offering freedom of movement. It comes with one 2.5Ah battery which can provide up to 30 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the KHB 350-06 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 4.1 lbs without the battery and 6 lbs with it, enabling one-handed control of airflow.
The Kobalt KHB 350-06's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Kobalt KHB 350-06 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 Kobalt KHB 350-06 stands out for its lower bare tool weight: just 4.1 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 100 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.
- With a maximum airflow of 350 CFM (cubic feet per minute), this model is on the lower end in terms of air circulation for cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, which boasts with 800 CFM.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 30 minutes from its battery, which means the KHB 350-06 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 Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. At its measured figures, the Kobalt KHB 350-06 provides an average runtime efficiency, similar to many battery-powered handheld blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Stihl BGA 50, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.8 minutes per Wh.
The bottom line
- Cruise control
- Light bare tool weight (4.1 lbs)
- Good power efficiency
- Brushed motor
- Low CFM (350 CFM)
- Low MPH (100 MPH)
- Low autonomy (30 mins)
