Description
Whether you are clearing leaves from tight spaces, managing yard debris, or completing larger cleanup tasks, this blower delivers the power, control, and runtime needed for efficient, fatigue-free performance. its lightweight design, variable speed, and versatile nozzles make it easy to maintain a clean, well-kept year.
Zoom on the Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY
With its cordless handheld design, the Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY is best suited to homeowners with an average-sized yard that requires regular upkeep, generally around a quarter to half an acre.
It delivers up to 700 CFM of air volume and 160 MPH of air speed. These values mean that it should manage everyday yard leaves rather efficiently, but also have the power to handle denser material or small piles of heavier debris across lawns, patios, and garden paths.
This cordless blower is powered by a 36V brushless motor, allowing unrestricted movement during use. One 5.0Ah battery is included, and should provide up to 60 minutes of runtime when fully charged.
For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the RB36DCQRY offers variable speed settings and a turbo button, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 6 lbs as a bare tool and 8.6 lbs with the battery installed, while still being suited for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.
The Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 36 and 48V).
- Weighing 6 lbs without the battery, the Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY is comparable in weight to most cordless handheld blowers in the 36 to 48V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Black+Decker LSW40C is worth a look at just 2.4 lbs the bare tool.
- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 160 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most battery-operated handheld blowers between 36 and 48V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Husqvarna 350iB and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- If air volume is an important feature, the RB36DCQRY by Metabo HPT will not disappoint. Its airflow maxes out at 700 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is more powerful than most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB01K, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can anticipate a maximum autonomy of 60 minutes from its battery, suggesting that the RB36DCQRY's runtime is below average among cordless handheld units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Stihl BGA 200 which offers up to 535 minutes of runtime.
- Because larger batteries naturally increase runtime, it can be helpful to consider runtime efficiency, a measure of how effectively a blower uses the energy available. Runtime efficiency for the Metabo HPT RB36DCQRY sits comfortably in the middle of the range for battery-powered handheld blowers. If runtime efficiency matters most to you, you might look at the Stihl BGA 50, which delivers a higher runtime efficiency of 0.8 minutes per Wh.
The bottom line
- Brushless motor
- Cruise control
- High CFM (700 CFM)
- High MPH (160 MPH)
- Decent bare tool weight (6 lbs)
- Good power efficiency
- Low autonomy (60 mins)
