DEWALT 20V MAX* Blower for Jobsite Kit, Compact (DCE100M1)

Bon produit, léger et efficace

No cumplió con lo que requería

Excellent little blower, plenty of power for moving leaves out of my garage. Dewalt is the best. The extension on the front gets narrower to increase the effectiveness of the blower. It is not heavy. I got the 4 amp battery with it and the charger so that now I have two dewalt charger units. I recommend this blower for most uses.

I use the job site blower almost daily and am impressed with the balance, light weight, and ease of use. This blower is best for small to medium tasks like decks, sidewalks, and garages. Other outdoor uses are probably only limited by the user’s imagination. I use mine on the tractor, mowers, log splitter and dump trailer. Though not intended for such purposes I have also used it effectively to coax a damp burn pile to life. The benefit of owning Dewalt battery-powered products is the ability to swap battery packs from other Dewalt 20v tools when the need arises. The supplied 4.0 ah battery lasts a good while and is helped by the variable-speed trigger and three-stage (low-medium-high) power switch on the handle. I have also used 5.0 ah Dewalt batteries for increased runtime but seldom find the need to do so; the supplied battery works well. One user criticized the placement of the tool’s (left side) air intake because loose clothing would impede airflow, but I have not found that problematic; I simply changed to my left hand to carry on with the task on those rare occasions. This tool does not have the power of my backpack gas-powered blower but then again, it was never intended to compete with one. If you are seeking an efficient battery-powered blower that is well-balanced and comfortable to operate then look no more; this will likely meet your needs.

I bought this and the equivalent Milwaukee mini blower to compare. Although they both offer 100CFM, the Milwaukee supposedly has 30MPH more force. In practice, I don't know what the Milwaukee does with its extra power, but the DeWalt moves more snow or debris and does it faster than the Milwaukee. It's also quieter. As to absolute performance, this isn't going to handle leaves on a whole yard, but it's very convenient for a quick dusting of the driveway, to reach behind the A/C unit; to blow stuff out from under furniture or behind counters where a vacuum cleaner doesn't have enough power to suck out dust. Battery life is terrible (4-7 minutes) with small batteries and the bigger batteries almost defeat the purpose of a small blower. But that's to be expected.
