Zoom on the Milwaukee 2724-21HD
The Milwaukee 2724-21HD
With its cordless handheld design, the Milwaukee 2724-21HD is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It provides a maximum air volume rating of 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of up to 120 miles per hour (MPH). For the user, this translates to modest airflow, moving dry leaves and small debris around a yard, patio, or driveway.
Equipped with an 18V brushless motor, the unit operates on battery power for untethered use. It comes with one 8.0Ah battery which can provide up to 15 minutes of runtime on a full charge.
Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Milwaukee 2724-21HD allows precise control of the air output.
This cordless handheld blower weighs 4.9 lbs as a bare tool and 7.3 lbs with the battery installed, while still being suited for one-handed operation with controlled airflow.

The Milwaukee 2724-21HD's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Milwaukee 2724-21HD compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).
- The Milwaukee 2724-21HD tips the scales at 4.9 lbs (bare tool), a weight that's typical for many cordless handheld blowers in the 18 to 24V range. Should weight be a deciding factor, the Worx WG543 is worth a look at just 2.3 lbs the bare tool.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 120 MPH, which is rather impressive for a battery-operated handheld blower between 18 and 24V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU07SM1 and its 143 MPH could be an option to consider.
- With an airflow rating of 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute), the 2724-21HD is unquestionably on the high end among cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Dewalt DCBL724W1, with 550 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Autonomy-wise, with up to 15 minutes of autonomy on a full charge, the 2724-21HD is on the low end when compared with other cordless handheld units of similar voltage. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 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. In terms of runtime efficiency, the Milwaukee 2724-21HD ranks on the lower side, delivering less runtime per unit of battery capacity than many comparable battery-powered handheld blowers. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Ryobi ONE+ SWEEPER P2102 offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 1.28 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 18-24V cordless blowers, the Milwaukee 2724-21HD is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this blower nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
