The Kobalt KHB 400B-06's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 60 and 82V).
- Maxing out at 125 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 60 and 82V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the PRORUN PBL160H, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 190 MPH.
- At 500 CFM (cubic feet per minute), its airflow output is modest compared to other cordless handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Toro 51827, which boasts with 900 CFM.
- When compared to other cordless handheld units operating within the range of 60V to 82V, the KHB 400B-06 offers standard autonomy, providing up to 75 minutes of runtime with a fully charged battery. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Toro 51822 can run for up to 140 minutes and could be worth considering.
The bottom line
- Brushless motor
- 5 year (limited) warranty
- Decent weight (8.9 lbs)
- Good autonomy (75 mins)
- Low CFM for its voltage
- Low MPH (125 MPH)
