Description
Overview of the Kobalt KBB 7580-06
- Power: The Kobalt KBB 7580-06 can force 776 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) from its nozzle at a maximum speed of 154 MPH.
- Power delivery: Kobalt designed this unit and its brushless, battery-operated motor with top-of-the-food-chain maneuverability in mind. The KBB 7580-06 doesn’t need to be plugged in, so you can take it anywhere easily.
- Battery: The unit features two 80V battery ports (no battery is included with the unit), which allows it to run on either one or two batteries, extending its runtime. All Kobalt 80V batteries are compatible with the KBB 7580-06. The maximum expected runtime will therefore depend on the capacity of the inserted batteries.
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. However, for an electric backpack blower, the Kobalt KBB 7580-06 is heavier than most, weighing 16.64 lbs without any battery.
- Speed Settings: With its variable speed settings, the Kobalt KBB 7580-06 allows you to precisely control its air output. In addition, the blower is also equipped with cruise control, with which the user can easily maintain the selected settings.
The Kobalt KBB 7580-06's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Kobalt KBB 7580-06 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 154 MPH, which is pretty much what is to be expected for battery-operated backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Stihl BGA 300 and its 192 MPH could be an option to consider.
- If air volume is an important feature, the KBB 7580-06 by Kobalt will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 776 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most cordless backpack blowers. If air volume is important to you, the EGO LBPX8004-2, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other cordless backpack blowers, the Kobalt KBB 7580-06 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.
