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.
- 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 80V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the PRORUN PBL260H, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 190 MPH.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 can reach 500 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on the low end 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.
- Its battery is standard in terms of autonomy for a cordless handheld product that runs on this kind of voltage. Fully charged, it should run for up to 75 minutes. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Toro 51822 can run for up to 140 minutes and could be worth considering.
- Among the compared to battery-powered handheld blowers, the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 delivers a notably efficient use of battery power. 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.
