- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 192 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most battery-operated backpack blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Stihl BRA 600 and its 246 MPH could be an option to consider.
- It’s capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 571 CFM (cubic feet per minute). This places it at the low end compared to other cordless backpack blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBPX1100, which boasts with 1100 CFM.
