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

Overall, this is a good unit. Keep in mind it is very small. For its size, I believe it moves a lot of air. Great if you need a smaller blower.

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.

EZ to use, just make sure you read the owner’s manual before using ie: battery charging and storage of battery packs. This is what I learned from a DeWalt engineer years ago when I worked for SB&D. The manufacturer will do a initial charge on the pack but packs are not always fully charged for quality control inspections as well as the batteries need to be stored at least partially charged so the cells aren’t damaged before it’s sold at retail. There are several individual battery cells inside the battery pack that will need to be fully charged before the initial use. By not charging the battery pack fully at least 12 hours ,and ideally 48 hours before you initially use the battery pack (The red flashing light on the charger will stop flashing well before 12 hours indicating the pack is charged disregard and leave the pack on the charger so it can level off each individual cell) You will run the risk of damaging the individual cells inside the pack. Which will ultimately decrease the life and run time of the battery. This statement is not only for DeWalt batteries this is best practice for all re-chargeable battery packs unless the mfg. states otherwise. The Li packs have heat indicator cutoff to protect the pack from overheating during fast drain applications ( Running a tool consecutively in which the battery is drained in less than 10 minutes) feature may confuse end-users to think the battery needs to be re-charged when in fact the pack just needs to cool off. Do not try to charge the battery immediately following fast drain applications, this may result in damaging the cells. Li batteries also shouldn’t be stored or charged when or where temperatures are lower than 40’ f or greater than 90’ f. I have several batteries and I’ll swap them out once I feel I’m getting close to using the full charge. This allows me to recharge my used packs faster, and ultimately allows me to work non-stop throughout the day. I do this consistently and I still have DeWalt batteries from 2010 that work great.

Purchased this as a gift for my parents that were looking for a blower to blow some light snow off of their steps/deck. Upon receiving it, it was smaller than I was expecting and quite compact. It was light enough that I knew it would not be an issue for them to use and battery operated so they didn't have to deal with an extension cord. The actual 'blowing' capacity I was surprised with; guess I was expecting a bit more cfm from the unit however it will remove a light skiff of snow. It will not clear a more dense thicker layer if thats what you may be looking for. As for its use in the summer months, no clue just yet. That has to wait...
