I bought this to blow leaves and rubbish from under my patio furniture and it’s perfect for the job. I use it all the time instead of a broom and very happy with its performance. As long as you aren’t expecting full sized leaf blower performance then you won’t be disappointed.
It is not strong enough to compete with the mains powered blowers which are twice as powerful.
And reading some reviews, some people try to use it in the garden! Well, if you intend to blow wet leaves off of your grass, you should be using a 3000W Leaf Blower, not a 265W hand held device.
In terms of “how powerful is it?” – it is 265W. About half as powerful as mains powered blowers which are 400W-600W.
How long does the battery last? 265W with an 18V battery is about 15A. That means a 5Ah battery pack (these are the thick, heavy packs) will only last about 20 minutes if you are lucky. The small, 2Ah batteries, will last less than 10 mins.
I give this 4 stars because it is great at what it is meant to do.
I take one star away because the motor could be brushless and then the same 265W would result in much better air volumes.
In addition, occasionally, mine keeps cutting out every 4-5 seconds, so there is something wrong with it and am sending it back.
PS: The replacement also keeps cutting out. I will try different batteries.
It’s tiny and looks like a toy but it’s pretty powerful. It comes with 2 extensions but even fully extended it’s quite short, which makes it difficult to direct it without crouching. I’m only 5ft 8in.
Great for blowing leaves but you also get thinner nozzles which you can use to jet blast dust from things. (Useful for clearing dust etc. from behind radiators.) We already have batteries for other Dewalt items do this made it cheaper than buying one with a battery.
Quite a light unit but is noisey. Ideal for my purpose of drying out inaccessible parts of my motorcycle, after hosing off road salt after a winter ride.
Cracking piece of kit, looked like a toy when opened box as quite small but once it was assembled, which took seconds, this machine packs a punch. Ease of use and the freedom to roam it’s a great addition to my dewalt collection.
I do fencing for a living and I use this to clean up site after very good and handy fits behind the van seats do not underestimate its power highly recommended
Used with my dewalt 5amp batteries. It’s much quicker to use and put away like the large electric one
Excellent blower
Works good, light weight, worth every penny
Purchased another unit after experiencing the first one.
I like the fact that it is small and lightweight and packs a little punch.I use it for around the workshop and garden..
Been thinking about this for awhile and took the plunge. Very powerful and light. I used a 2.0 Ah battery and it goes for ever. Easy to store.
Not had much chance to use it yet. It does not seem to be as powerfully as I expected. Cannot comment on battery life.
Good product, easy to use and with the larger capacity battery good running time. PROBLEM is with trying to register on-line, HOPELESS. Come ‘black and decker’, get your act together and have someone available to give advice on the SKU code for this item. I have quite a lot of Dewalt tools. Maybe amazon can help?
A fantastic price body only, wow what a total tool not surprised being Dewalt as my favourite kit for years, it comes with a two section nozzle which connects simply, there are small adapters for blowing up air beds or chairs. The power of this tool I can not recommend enough I used three 1.8 volt batteries & blew the whole of our patio & front driveway which is some 60 sm plus areas around them. Very impressed 10/10
This splendid new gadget ticked every box. Lightweight, very easy to use and no fumes, quite a powerful blower for its small size. Obviously has to rely on your battery charge but I have 6 x 4Ah cells already and I also purchased a pair of pattern 5Ah cells just for this blower. Its just brilliant, you need to buy one of these.
Already have a mains powered leave blower and it is used only couple of times a year. However, seeing as we have plenty of DeWalt batteries from other power tools, decided to get this blower in the DeWalt range. It is compact and light in weight. Rather than being only used twice a year, the intention is to use this blower after washing cars so as to prevent water droplet stains and to allow the polishing process to commence sooner than leaving the car to dry naturally and still not having to use a chamy leather to dry the car.
There are three speed settings, on the highest it easily blasts hedge cutting off the road and also moves dust, dirt, gravel and anything on the road that isn’t fixed.
After clearing the road I went round the garden with this machine, desperately searching for things that looked like they needed the blower treatment.
It is quite loud on the highest setting, ear defenders may be useful.
It’s the 18v XR Range so I can put my XR battery in it which is great.
This unit is bare, no battery came with the blower.
I am using my 18v 1.5Ah battery on it which works fine the only downfall is the running time will be less compared to the 4.0Ah or 5Ah battery, I read on a forum, which has about 15-20min run time. But that’s only what a read online.
It’s has 3 speed Switch which is awesome.
No negatives as of yet.
Nice sturdy light weight blower, what you expect from Dewalt, but not without its issues.
This thing rips through 5Ah batteries. I get less than 10 minutes on full power. Luckily I have 3 big batteries.
The intake is on the left side so when I use it right handed, my trouser leg keeps getting sucked into the inlet which blocks it.
It doesn’t move a huge volume of air, the end of the nozzle is narrow so it’s fast moving, but there isn’t much of it, not great for leaf blowing.
I’d spend the extra money and get the bigger one with the brushless motor if I was ordering again. It’ll push more air and the battery will probably last longer too.
Have recently been using it for inflating a kids paddling pool using the attachments that come with it. I must say it is very good at this task, certainly better than it is at blowing leaves!
I’ve got quite an extensive range of dewalt cordless that I use on a DIY basis only, this blower is so handy. Apart from the obvious of blowing your tools and dust etc, I use this to properly clean out our hoovers. Works great on those little dyson cordless hoovers, ( I use to buy canned air for this job) Drying my motorbikes ( it gets all the water out of those awkward places) used in conjunction when sweeping up, I also use it to blow dust and bits off a surface before painting. ( mine has the little fitting attached) This little blower has always got a battery attached and close to hand. I’ll soon be doing jobs in the garden, you can bet I’ll find a few more jobs for my blower.
Very pleased with this unit. Great for clearing the leafs in our yard, driveway and flower beds. It’s also very good for drying all the irritating water traps when you dry your car – no more dripping mirrors or number plates!
One slight design flaw – the inlet vent is on the left hand side of the body – not great if your right handed as it’s easy to block it with your body or clothing as you work. You realise straight away of course and adjust quickly but it could still be better! No problem for our left handed friends though!
