Zoom on the Kobalt KHB 400B-06
The Kobalt KHB 400B-06
With its cordless handheld design, the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.

Featuring 3 speed settings, the KHB 400B-06 offers users flexibility in adjusting airflow.
With a bare tool weight of 5.7 lbs and 8.9 lbs when fully equipped, this handheld unit supports one-handed use in tight areas.

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 80V).
- Weighing only 5.7 lbs as a bare tool, the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 is on the lighter side compared with many cordless handheld blowers in the 60 to 80V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Atlas 56994 is worth a look at just 4.6 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 125 MPH, which is on the lower end for battery-operated handheld blowers between 60 and 80V. 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.
- With a maximum airflow of 500 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 Toro 51827, which boasts with 900 CFM.
- Within the voltage range of 60V to 80V, the KHB 400B-06's autonomy of up to 75 minutes on a full charge is typical for cordless handheld units. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Toro 51822 can run for up to 140 minutes and could be worth considering.
- The Kobalt KHB 400B-06 stands out for its high runtime efficiency, making effective use of its battery capacity to extend operation time. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Toro 51820, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.6 minutes per Wh.
The bottom line
- Brushless motor
- 5 year (limited) warranty
- Light bare tool weight (5.7 lbs)
- Excellent power efficiency
- Good autonomy (75 mins)
- Low CFM for its voltage
- Low MPH (125 MPH)
