The Kobalt KBB 600B-06
- Power: The Kobalt KBB 600B-06 is a cordless blower with a maximum air volume rating of 580 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 145 MPH.
- Power delivery: Kobalt designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The KBB 600B-06 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: It is powered by a 80 V Li-ion battery (battery not included) that should work reliably for up to 30 minutes if completely charged.
- Handling: As this unit is a backpack leaf blower, the majority of the unit is distributed so that the user can operate it with ease for most reasonable periods of use. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. When compared to other electric backpack blowers, the Kobalt KBB 600B-06 stands out due to its lower weight: just 8.3 lbs for the blower alone.

- The air speed of the Kobalt KBB 600B-06 maxes out at 145 MPH. While more than adequate for many jobs, its air speed is below average among other battery-operated backpack blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Stihl BGA 300, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 192 MPH.
- As this unit is rated at 580 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless backpack blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBPX8004-2, which boasts with 800 CFM.
