I was very impressed with this blower. My current champion of blowing is the Greenworks brushless 40v blower. The Greenworks is full featured with a tube and bagger that lets it mulch leaves, and has a positively huge 40v 4ah battery on it. The DeWalt performs similarly however, while being smaller with a lighter/smaller tool battery... in fact it outlasted the Greenworks (see below).
One thing I really see when comparing the two is that the Greenworks has a long necked-down tube with the statement "185 MPH" on it... what they fail to mention is the CFM which probably isn't that great. The DeWalt, on the other hand, has a large tube all the way out and the output covers a much greater area.
They both have similar overall output/usefulness, and both have roughly the same sound level... the Greenworks has more of a "classic" blower sound, while the DeWalt, with its' turbine/jet style setup, has more of a high pitched buzzing sound.
One thing I really liked on the DeWalt is the instant-on trigger versus the Greenworks. To start the DeWalt, just squeeze. To start the Greenworks you have to push the power button, push the turbo button (to get full power), THEN dial up a speed on the wheel (there's not a trigger).
Here's a real-world battery test. I timed both blowers at full possible speed and what I judge to be comparable outputs. DeWalt blower on full throttle, Greenworks on full, plus "turbo" button engaged.
Greenworks run-time: 12:17
Dewalt run-time: 19:23
So, yeah, the DeWalt ran for half again as long.
The Greenworks was left cooling down while I used the DeWalt all over the back yard. After the test was complete, both batteries were warm but not hot and the cutoff on both was electronic/immediate. They also both started out on the chargers with overheat/cooldown warnings on the charger before they would charge. That seems a common theme with li-ion battery setups.
pros:
great run-time especially considering the tiny battery it uses
wider/larger coverage while providing similar "oomph" as a comparable blower that is necked down
no power-on and turbo buttons... pull the trigger, get instant-on full power.
compares favorably/reasonable with a tool that is double the power/voltage.
cons:
no extra features/options. This is just a blower, nothing more. Not really a con depending on what you expect
still fairly loud... comparable to other electric blowers... has a buzzy sound
This DeWALT blower fit my needs perfectly. I was so tired of carrying around our electric blower and its massive tangle of extension cords. It is so light and easy to hold you can blow with one hand and move furniture with the other. I can't speak to how long the battery lasts, only to say that I am able to blow my front porch, large courtyard area and walkways and the inside of my house, at least twice before a charge. I just throw it on the charger at that point because I don't want to run out of juice half-way through a job.
Being able to control the exact speed of the blower with your thumb while blowing is perfection. I can use a light setting to blow leaves, dirt and dog hair and increase speed to move heavier loads of dirt and debris. The battery is easy to remove and placement in the bottom within a stand is really handy. It takes about 1/4 of the space of our electric blower.
But what really blew me away, was the discovery of how much time it would save me inside my house. Since it was raining when I received the blower, which was my Valentines Day gift. I turned it on inside to try it out. Now I use it several times a week to blow the dog hair, dust, dirt and dog hair off my hardwood floors. Of course it doesn't work on chunky rugs or carpet, but it does get the dog hair, dirt, food and dog hair off the sofas too! Where this blower really shines is on the stairs. I used to just ignore my stairs between cleanings rather than drag my vacuum around or fumble with attachments. Now I can blow about 2000 sq ft of hardwoods, including stairs, flat rugs and furniture in about 7 minutes versus a good 20 with the vacuum. Sometimes I blow it all right out the door and keep going and sometimes I blow it all into a pile that I pick up with our quick pick up vacuum.
I attempted a video of this feat, but it is not easy to do. However the fact that I can hold my phone and blow my floors at the same time is a testament to how light and easy to use this blower is!

I don't even like the blower honestly and wish I would have returned it. It's so much weaker than what I expected. It can only push a little bit of completely dry leaves and as soon as you accumulative too much it's back to the rake so what's the point? The battery also drains incredibly fast for how weak it is. Bad design and a stain on Dewalt's reputation.
Overall really disappointed with this product. Save your money, the technology just isn't good enough for this application yet.
havent used it for cleaning up the garage as yet but I have no doubt it'll do a great job as well. the only complaint (if I can call it that) is that the blowing force isnt as strong as I'd like though its understandable being cordless & powered only with a 20v battery. imo this cordless dewalt would have a hardtime doing more heavy tasks but then I have a B&D bv6600 blower/mulcher/bagger for that purposes (blowing/bagging leaves in the fall).
for light duty stuff, this dewalt works very well.
Corded blowers are an absolute pain in the ***. NEVER will i go back to corded garden power tools.
as i said before, i wish this came with a strap... and i also wish this could invert to be a vacuum to blow up beach toys:) that would make this product 5stars.
One of the main reasons why I bought this was so that I can use it to blow snow off my cars during the winter. As it is not winter yet...I will wait till we get our first snowfall before I get to put it through that test.
Pros:
-Great amount of power! Especially for being a cordless tool!
-Pretty well balanced and lightweight
-Adjustable blower speed with the "cruise control" lever so that you don't have to depress the trigger all the time
-Having no cords to deal with or a gas engine to maintain, and fill up, etc is a huge plus. You will find yourself just picking it up and using it more because of this.
Cons:
-Ergonomics wise..someone did mention about the trigger being in a weird/unnatural position if you were to hold down the trigger while using this blower. I did notice that myself but if you have it on "cruise control" then you can hold it at a more comfortable position.
-Since this is cordless, it will obviously not have as much power as a electric corded or gas powered blower.
-It would've been really useful if they included a couple of nozzle attachments to this. Unfortunately, this blower comes with zero nozzle options. The end nozzle is about 3.5" in diameter in case anyone is wondering. It is for this reason that I gave it 4/5 stars.
Since it comes with no nozzles, I am working on creating one to hopefully increase the velocity a little more..I will post pictures once it is complete.
