Cordless Leaf Blowers
every battery handheld blower we track, one row each. sort by airflow to find the leaf movers, by weight to find the ones your wrist will forgive, or filter by platform to see what runs on the batteries already in your garage. airflow and speed are the makers' turbo ratings, so read them as ceilings.
 BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Sweeper with POWERBOOST, 2.0Ah Battery and Charger | 4.3 A light sweeper for clippings on walks and decks; it is not built to move leaves, and its sibling sat at the bottom of Consumer Reports' ratings. | BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX | 100 CFM Up to 100 CFM per BLACK+DECKER's product imagery caption on its LSW321 page (not in the spec table). | 130 MPH | 3.7 lb BLACK+DECKER's copy says 'Lightweight design of just 3.7 lbs' without stating battery inclusion; the same page's spec table lists 4.5 lb (likely with the 2.0Ah battery). | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 CRAFTSMAN V20 Brushless RP Cordless 410 CFM Handheld Leaf Blower Kit (5.0Ah) | 5.8 A sensible homeowner kit for V20 owners with modest yards; airflow and claimed runtime both trail most battery rivals. | CRAFTSMAN V20 | 410 CFM Maximum ratings are reached with the Boost button. | 110 MPH Maximum ratings are reached with the Boost button. | 6.62 lb 6.62 lb is the Assembled Product Weight on CRAFTSMAN's CMCBL730B tool-only page; the CMCBL730P1 kit page lists 8.8 lb. Pro Tool Reviews lists 6.6 lb bare. | Kit includes the CMCBL730 blower, (1) V20 CMCB205 5.0Ah battery and a V20 charger. CMCBL730B is the bare tool. |
 DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Handheld Blower (Tool Only) | 5.6 Useful if your shelf is full of DeWalt 20V packs, but it drains them quickly and nobody has published a hands-on test. | DEWALT 20V MAX | 450 CFM | 125 MPH DEWALT rates 125 MPH with the included concentrator nozzle installed; speed is lower without it. | 7.17 lb DEWALT does not publish a weight labeled as bare tool. 7.17 lb is the 'Assembled Product Weight' on DEWALT's tool-only DCBL722B page. Pro Tool Reviews' launch write-up lists 5.43 lb without the battery, so DEWALT's figure may include packaging or the nozzle. | |
 DEWALT 60V MAX FlexVolt Brushless Cordless Handheld Axial Blower Kit | 7.3 Strong enough to beat most gas handhelds in lab testing and nicely balanced, but loud at the ear and outclassed by newer 56V and 40V kits. | DEWALT 60V MAX FlexVolt | 600 CFM | 125 MPH | 7.7 lb DEWALT does not publish a weight labeled as bare tool. 7.7 lb is the 'Assembled Product Weight' DEWALT lists for the tool-only DCBL772B (same blower); the DCBL772X1 kit page lists 12.05 lb for the kit. Pro Tool Reviews lists 6.25 lb bare (2019 comparison table) and 9 lb with a 3.0Ah battery (2023), so DEWALT's figure may include packaging or accessories. | Ships with one FLEXVOLT battery and a charger. DEWALT's kit page lists the battery as 9.0Ah (and the kit photo shows a 9Ah pack) while its feature text still says 3Ah; earlier X1 kits shipped with a 3.0Ah pack, so confirm the battery capacity at purchase. |
 EGO Power+ 530 CFM Blower LB5302 | 7.0 An older, still-loved EGO that reviewers use for quick post-mow cleanups; fine value, just clearly behind EGO's newer blowers on wet leaves. | EGO 56V | 530 CFM | 110 MPH Boost-setting air velocity from the LB5300 owner's manual; the EGO product page does not list MPH. | 4.81 lb LB5300 owner's manual: without battery pack, with tube. The EGO product page lists 7.4 lb with the 2.5Ah battery. | |
 EGO POWER+ 56V 880 CFM Cordless Blower Kit with (2) 4.0Ah Batteries | 7.7 Huge headline rating that only shows up on oversized batteries; on its own kit packs it measured mid-pack with short runtime. | EGO 56V | 880 CFM 880 CFM is Turbo mode with the tapered nozzle; the variable trigger covers 270 to 700 CFM. | 200 MPH 200 MPH is Turbo mode with the tapered nozzle. | 4.9 lb Manual: blower weight without battery pack 4.9 lbs (2.2 kg). Pro Tool Reviews measured 9.7 lb with a 4.0Ah battery. | Kit includes (2) 4.0Ah ARC Lithium batteries, a 320W charger, tapered and spread nozzles and a shoulder strap. LB8800 is the bare tool. EGO's site showed both as 'Coming Soon' when checked. |
 EGO Power+ 615 CFM Blower LB6151 | 8.2 Most of the bigger EGOs' muscle for less money; the small kit battery is the catch, running out fast in turbo. | EGO 56V | 615 CFM | 170 MPH 170 MPH with the tapered nozzle attached; the LB6150 manual lists 150 MPH without it. | 4.74 lb Bare tool without battery, from the LB6150 owner's manual (LB6151 is the LB6150 kit with a 2.5Ah battery and standard charger). | |
 EGO Power+ 650 CFM Blower LB6504 | 8.5 Proven, heavily tested and still near the top on force, though reviewers keep mentioning its loaded weight and a cruise dial that needs your other hand. | EGO 56V | 650 CFM | 180 MPH 180 MPH with the tapered nozzle attached; the LB6500 manual lists 160 MPH without it. | 4.77 lb Bare tool without battery, from the LB6500 owner's manual (LB6504 is the LB6500 kit with a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger). | |
 EGO Power+ 765 CFM Blower LB7654 | 9.4 The strongest push any lab measured from a kit battery, and it clears wet, matted leaves like gas; the only real complaint is arm fatigue on long sessions. | EGO 56V | 765 CFM | 200 MPH EGO product page: up to 200 MPH in turbo with the tapered nozzle. The LB7650 owner's manual lists 195 MPH with the tapered nozzle and 166 MPH without. | 4.6 lb Bare tool without battery, from the LB7650 owner's manual (LB7654 is the LB7650 kit with a 5.0Ah battery and 320W charger). | |
 Greenworks 40V 550 CFM Brushless Axial Leaf Blower with 4.0Ah Battery and Charger | 6.7 A light, reasonably priced 40V kit for small yards and hard surfaces, with no lab data to show how it handles heavy leaf piles. | Greenworks 40V | 550 CFM | 130 MPH | 4.7 lb 4.7 lb without battery per the Greenworks operator manual (BL40L01/BLF442). The Greenworks product page lists 5 lb / 5.06 lb for the kit listing without saying whether the battery is included. | |
 Greenworks 80V 730 CFM Brushless Cordless Leaf Blower (Tool Only) | 7.1 Impressive on paper and light for an 80V tool, but no independent force test backs it up and you must buy the battery separately. | Greenworks 80V | 730 CFM | 170 MPH | 5.3 lb 5.3 lb without battery per the Greenworks BLB489 operator manual for this 730 CFM blower. Greenworks' product page lists 8.82 lb (Pro Tool Reviews describes it as a little under 9 lb with the 2.5Ah battery). | Tool-only SKU 2419602 (model BL80L02). The 2.5Ah kit version (BL80L2512, SKU 2424402) no longer has a page on Greenworks' US store; only renewed and combo kits remain there, so the current new SKU is the bare tool. |
 Greenworks Pro 60V 700 CFM Brushless Leaf Blower with 5.0Ah Battery and Charger | 8.8 Consumer Reports' top-scoring handheld and a strong Pro Tool Reviews result, with comfortable nose-down balance; it is heavy once the battery is in. | Greenworks 60V | 700 CFM | 170 MPH | 5.3 lb 5.3 lb without battery per the Greenworks operator manual covering BL60L02/BL60L512. Greenworks product pages list 10.14 lb, which matches the tool with its 5.0Ah battery (Pro Tool Reviews weighed 5.7 lb bare, 10.2 lb with 5.0Ah). | |
 Husqvarna Leaf Blaster 350iB (battery and charger included) | 8.7 Second only to the EGO 765 on measured force, light for its class when loaded, and its big kit battery ran far longer than rivals. | Husqvarna 40V Husqvarna markets the BLi-X battery system as 40V (MAX Battery Series); its spec table lists 36 V nominal. | 800 CFM Boost-mode peak.

 Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Blower (Tool Only) | 6.2 Quiet and light with nice cruise control, yet runtime is short and it is a driveway tool rather than a leaf mover. | Makita 18V LXT | 459 CFM | 116 MPH | 4.6 lb Makita lists 4.6 lb net without battery and 6 lb with battery in its spec table (its feature bullets say 6.5 lb with battery); the manual gives 5.4 to 6.7 lb depending on battery (EPTA 01/2014). Pro Tool Reviews weighed 4.8 lb bare. | |
 Makita 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Blower Kit (5.0Ah) | 6.6 Excellent balance and fine speed control, but short runtime from two batteries and middling force make it hard to justify at kit cost. | Makita 36V (2x 18V LXT) | 473 CFM | 120 MPH Makita's product page lists 120 MPH as 'Max. Air Velocity', but the XBU02 manual lists 120 MPH as average air speed and 145 MPH as maximum air speed. | 9 lb Makita publishes no bare-tool weight for the XBU02. 9 lb is its 'Net Weight (with battery)' (two 18V LXT batteries); the manual lists 7.7 to 9.3 lb depending on battery combination (EPTA 01/2014).

 Milwaukee M18 FUEL Blower (Tool Only) | 6.3 Light, comfortable and vibration-free, a good hard-surface tool for M18 owners, but its force trails today's battery leaders badly. | Milwaukee M18 | 450 CFM | 120 MPH | 4.9 lb Milwaukee's spec table lists 'Weight 4.9 lbs' on the tool-only page without stating battery status; Pro Tool Reviews also reports 4.9 lb bare. | |

 WORX 40V Power Share TURBINE Cordless Leaf Blower with Brushless Motor (2x20V) | 6.0 Light enough for one hand and sold with two batteries, but owners found it weak on wet leaves and unsuited to big piles. | WORX 40V Power Share (2x 20V) | 470 CFM Turbo rating per the current WORX US product page and the WG584 manual (speeds I/II/III: 300/350/390 CFM).

How the AI score works, and who wrote it
A language model rated these, not a test lab. Every score from 1 to 10 is an AI assessment of how good the product is against the other 22 in this comparison, formed from the specifications we verified plus the published lab reviews and owner reception found while researching each one. Nobody at Slopsheets listened to, wore or plugged in any of it.
It weighs the things a spec table cannot show: how a product is actually reviewed, how well the software works, build quality, and what you get for the money. That is deliberate. An earlier version of this column was pure arithmetic on the table and it ranked a bundle of cheap boxes above a class-leading single unit, because counting hardware is not the same as judging it.
Treat it as an informed starting point and read the sourced comparison, not as a verdict. The score is relative to this comparison only, so it means nothing across categories, and it carries no price, star rating or review count. Every specification behind it is sourced and checked; the score on top of them is opinion.
Frequently asked questions
How much CFM do I need for my yard?
For a driveway, deck and some clippings, 350 to 450 CFM is plenty. For a lawn under real trees, look for 600 CFM or more paired with a high air speed, since wet leaves need both volume and velocity to come loose.
Why does the same blower list different MPH numbers?
Air speed depends on the nozzle. A narrow tapered tip raises MPH and lowers airflow, so makers quote their best speed with the narrowest tip in turbo. This sheet uses that top rated figure for every row, so compare rows against each other, not against real-world use.
Why is the weight column without the battery?
Bare-tool weight is the one number most brands publish consistently. The battery adds roughly 2 to 6 lb depending on its size, and the notes on each row flag the few makers that only publish a loaded weight.
Does a higher battery voltage mean a stronger blower?
Not on its own. Voltage sets the ceiling, but motor, fan design and battery capacity decide what you get. Several 40V blowers on this sheet are rated well above some 60V ones.
What does the battery included column tell me?
Whether this exact model number ships as a kit with a battery and charger, or as a tool-only unit for people who already own that brand's packs. Tool-only listings look cheaper but need a battery you may not have.
