Zoom on the Milwaukee 3009-24HD
The Milwaukee 3009-24HD
The Milwaukee 3009-24HD is a cordless backpack blower that is a good match for both homeowners with larger home grounds ranging from half-acre lawns to multi-acre estates, and professionals working across several client grounds.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 650 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 155 MPH. In practice, it should move both scattered leaves and larger piles across yard areas, while also clearing heavier debris such as acorns, pine cones, or pine needles on patios or driveways.
A 36V brushless motor powers the 3009-24HD, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. Milwaukee claims that it can deliver power of a 60-cc gas backpack blower. The Milwaukee 3009-24HD is powered by two 12.0Ah M18™ batteries. Since the unit comes with four batteries, you can decide to run it on either 2 or 4 of them, which allows you to adjust the configuration for either lighter weight in quicker clean-ups or more runtime in extended clearing applications. When the 4 included batteries are used, power from the additional 2 batteries is used to extend the 3009-24HD's autonomy, providing up to 60 minutes of runtime.
For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the 3009-24HD offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting. In addition to the variable speed trigger, the unit provides even more control over power and battery life, by allowing the user to choose between 3 different power modes.
Weighing 18.4 lbs without the four batteries and 32.1 lbs with them, this backpack unit sits on the user’s back, reducing the need to support the full weight with the arms during operation. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.

The Milwaukee 3009-24HD's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Milwaukee 3009-24HD compare with other cordless backpack leaf blowers.
- At 18.4 lbs (bare tool), the Milwaukee 3009-24HD sits at the upper end of the weight range for cordless backpack blowers in the 36 to 40V range. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi RY40HPLB02K which is only 13.2 lbs the bare tool.
- Maxing out at 155 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated backpack blowers. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Stihl BGA 300, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 192 MPH.
- It has a maximum air volume output of 650 CFM (cubic feet per minute). With this output rating, the 3009-24HD is well within average in relation to similar cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the Ryobi RY40HPLB02K, with 850 CFM, could be in your good books.
- Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 60 minutes from its battery, which means the 3009-24HD won't run as long as many other cordless backpack units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Makita CBU02Z which offers up to 240 minutes of runtime.
- Runtime alone doesn’t always tell the full story because it depends heavily on battery capacity. Runtime efficiency can give a clearer picture by showing how much work you get per unit of battery power. In terms of runtime efficiency, the Milwaukee 3009-24HD ranks on the lower side, delivering less runtime per unit of battery capacity than many comparable battery-powered backpack blowers. If you are focused on getting more use per charge, the Ryobi RY40HPLB02K offers the highest runtime efficiency, at 0.23 minutes per Wh.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 36-40V cordless backpack blowers, the Milwaukee 3009-24HD is on the expensive side of the price range.
While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it could most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
