DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Leaf Blower, 125-MPH, 450-CFM (DCBL722P1)

Performance and Power:I find the blower highly effective for residential tasks, with ample power to clear leaves, dirt, and small debris from various surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and lawns.It compares favorably to corded blowers in terms of power and efficiency.Battery Life and Usage:The battery life can be a concern, especially under heavy use. I recommend having extra batteries for continuous work.In hot conditions, the batteries may overheat and shut down before they are fully depleted.Using a 5Ah or larger battery seems to provide a better experience.By controlling the speed, I can manage battery usage more effectively, often completing tasks with less power.Design and Usability:The blower is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a good choice for those who find gas blowers too heavy or cumbersome.Its ergonomic design allows for comfortable use over extended periods, suitable even for individuals with physical limitations like arthritis.Noise Level:It operates quieter compared to gas blowers, which is great for maintaining a peaceful neighborhood environment.Customer Service:My experience with DEWALT's customer service has been positive, especially noting an instance where a faulty blower was replaced promptly.Additional Features:The variable speed trigger enhances control over the blowing power.The cordless design is convenient, eliminating the need for extension cords or handling gas.Compatibility with Other Tools:The compatibility of its batteries with other DEWALT tools is a significant advantage.Durability:The blower is generally durable, though there have been rare instances of malfunction.Overall Satisfaction:I am highly satisfied with the blower and would recommend it for residential use. However, for heavy-duty tasks like large-scale leaf cleanup, it might not be the best fit.Miscellaneous:One downside is the lack of leaf mulching capability.It's also useful for blowing off vehicles and small outdoor spaces.The cost of additional batteries can be a concern.

Hubby bought this for me as a gift. At first I rolled my eyes but then I realized how awesome it is and handy!! I use this to keep my front walk and deck clean of the zillions of leaves in our yard. I can do a walk around and then the battery is dead. But it charges quickly and is worth not dragging out the backpack blower. This one I keep hanging in the closet. I’m a fan! And it’s one less charger hanging around since all our tools are dewalt.

Easy to use & works well!

They sent me a used one at first, no battery and not tip, as well as something else. I can’t remember. But they quickly resolved my issues and sent me a new one.This thing definitelyyyy has power.Great blower for sure.Can raise a skirt 20-25 feet away.My wife doesn’t like it.Anyways, make sure you get a big battery. Better if you have 2

Excellent blower. Dewalt batteries last a long time. Cleaned our garage, driveway, and sidewalk (corner lot) and still had plenty of juice left over. Powerful! Very satisfied.

I can't say anough good things about this little blower! I bought it with an extra battery. It is light and so easy to use. Before this, we had a backpack gas blower and a plug-in electric blower. We never used either often enough, because (for different reasons) they were difficult to use. With the 2 batteries, I can easily blow my roof, all the paths in my yard, my deck, my driveway and street, the whole area across the street, and my lawn in minutes. We have a LOT of huge trees. During the fall, I used this blower every day to keep up with the quantity of leaves. Now that fall is over, I use it about twice per week to keep everything looking perfect (I have 2 puppies). This has kept my deck and pool deck from getting stained by the oak leaves. And we are using our winter garden more when it looks so clean and nice. I can't wait for the warm weather! Buy this. You won't be sorry!Update: The battery permanently died in 12 months. I feel like that it a really short life for such an expensive battery. I still love the blower, but I'm disappointed in the battery and the fact that it has no warranty.

Ok I just received this 3/5/24 I charged the battery all the way and used it 3 cars to blow water off and on rims and grills. The 20v 5 hour battery that came with it died. I put in a fully charged 20 v 2 hr battery and it killed that 1 in 4 minutes. I'm going to charge them again and give her another shot. I has good power when a fresh battery is put in on it but after a few minutes it kills the battery so far not impressed. May have to return.I am adding to my first review. I purchased a 2nd 20v 5AH battery. When it came in it had 1 bar on the battery life indicator. I charged it and it showed charged in 20 minutes. That didn't seem right so I took it off the charger and reinsert it and the indicator showed it wasnt charged yet. I left it longer and it fully charged later. I did the same to the first battery and it made a difference. The batteries are lasting longer and the blower itself is working as advertised and I am giving it a much deserved 5 stars now. I actually don't believe in giving a great review within a week of receiving a product. It takes a bit to make sure it works correctly to give a good review. This is a good product in my opinion noe that I have used it worked out the kinks.
