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).
- Air expelled from the blower's nozzle can reach speeds of 125 MPH, indicating a lower air speed, when compared to other battery-operated handheld blowers. 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.
- With an airflow capacity of 500 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), the Kobalt KHB 400B-06 falls towards the lower spectrum among cordless handheld blowers. 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.
The bottom line
- Brushless motor
- 5 year (limited) warranty
- Decent weight (8.9 lbs)
- Good autonomy (75 mins)
- Low CFM for its voltage
