Overview of the Milwaukee 3009-24HD
- Power: The 3009-24HD is a cordless blower made by Milwaukee. It has a maximum air speed of 155 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 650 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Power delivery: With its brushless motor, the Milwaukee 3009-24HD delivers cordless functionality, allowing users to maneuver freely and efficiently during lawn care routines. Milwaukee claims that this unit delivers power of a 60cc gas backpack blower.
- Battery: The Milwaukee 3009-24HD is powered by a minimum of two 18V Li-ion batteries, yielding a total of 36V. Since the unit comes with four 12 Ah 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.
- Handling: By design, this model isn’t the smallest leaf blower on the market. It’s meant to be carried as a backpack so that the bulk of the unit is out of the way and the user’s hands are free to manipulate the nozzle. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows you to keep your left hand free. Be aware that, at 32.1 lbs (with the 4 included batteries), the Milwaukee 3009-24HD is on the heavier side of cordless backpack blowers.
- Speed Settings: The Milwaukee 3009-24HD provides versatile control with customizable airflow via variable speed settings and the convenience of cruise control for prolonged comfort.
- Additional power control modes: 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.
- Noise: The 3009-24HD's noise level is rated at 62 dB, which is standard for cordless backpack blowers.

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.
- 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 BRA 600, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 246 MPH.
- The airflow of Milwaukee 3009-24HD reaches 650 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), placing it on par with other cordless backpack blowers. If air volume is important to you, the EGO LBPX1100, with 1100 CFM, could be in your good books.
- With a runtime of up to 60 minutes on a full charge, the 3009-24HD's autonomy is modest compared to other cordless backpack units. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the EGO LBPX1100 which offers up to 240 minutes of runtime.
