The SKIL BL4714B-10's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the SKIL BL4714B-10 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).

  • Maxing out at 100 MPH at full power, this blower is on the lower end in terms of air speed for battery-operated handheld blowers between 18 and 24V. For the fastest air speed in this category, you may want to consider the Makita XBU07SM1, which can expell air at a velocity that can reach 143 MPH.
  • Regarding its air volume, the SKIL BL4714B-10 boasts an impressive airflow that can reach 400 CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute). This places it amongst the most powerful cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. If air volume is important to you, the RIDGID R01601K, with 510 CFM, could be in your good books.
