Description
Overview of the Weed Eater WE12B
The Weed Eater WE12B
- Power: This electric leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 360 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 200 MPH.
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 12 Amp motor to operate. Note that the power cord might not be included with the blower. Should you wish to obtain one, use our gauge calculator.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: This unit has a handy 'cord lock' feature, which prevents it from being unplugged during use.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. At 8.2 lbs, the Weed Eater WE12B is within the average weight range of electric handheld blowers.
- Speed Settings: As with similar models of its class, this leaf blower has just one operating speed.
- Vacuum: It features a vacuum allowing it to suck up leaf and debris once the sweeping job is complete.

The Weed Eater WE12B's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Weed Eater WE12B compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 200 MPH, which is rather impressive for an electric handheld blower. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
- Regarding its air volume, the airflow of the Weed Eater WE12B can reach 360 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), which is on par with other electric handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the CAT DG651, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.
The bottom line
- High MPH (200 MPH)
- Decent weight (8.2 lbs)
- Decent CFM (360 CFM)
- No speed variation
About Weed Eater
Weed Eater is a notorious power tool company with a complicated history, most well known for its green string trimmers. The company was founded in Texas, US, back in 1971 and over the years, exchanged owners several times, notably Emerson Electric, who merged them with Poulan, and Electrolux, who transferred the outdoor division under Husqvarna AB. However, green Weed Eater products can be found to this day in North America, including a strong line of mostly electric leaf blowers. Their products are unmistakable, as they feature a unique, green, alien-like design.
