Welcome to our Blowers category, where you'll find essential outdoor power tools designed to make yard cleanup a breeze. These handheld blowers, perfect for patios, lawns, and driveways, feature high-performance models from trusted brands like DEWALT, BLACK+DECKER, and EGO POWER+. Whether you're tackling fallen leaves in autumn or clearing debris year-round, a quality blower saves time and effort compared to manual raking.
Why Blowers Are a Must-Have for Homeowners
Blowers are versatile tools in the Leaf Blowers, Vacuums & Accessories family, specializing in moving air at high speeds to displace leaves, grass clippings, and light dirt. Unlike full leaf blowers that may convert to vacuums, these focused models excel in targeted blowing tasks. They're ideal for smaller properties or quick jobs, fitting seamlessly into your Outdoor Power Tools collection.
Our selection highlights four standout options: the DEWALT 20V MAX Blower (DCE100B) for compact cordless power, the BLACK+DECKER LB700 for reliable corded performance, the EGO POWER+ LB5302 with included battery and charger, and the DEWALT 20V MAX XR DCBL722B for superior airflow. Each offers variable speed controls and ergonomic designs to reduce fatigue during use.
Key Features to Consider When Buying a Blower
Selecting the right blower depends on your needs. Here's what to prioritize:
- Airflow (CFM): Measures volume of air moved. Higher CFM, like the EGO's 530 CFM, handles heavier debris piles effectively.
- Air Speed (MPH): Indicates velocity. The BLACK+DECKER's 180 MPH excels at scattering light leaves quickly.
- Power Source: Cordless models like DEWALT's offer portability without cords, while corded ones provide unlimited runtime. For battery-powered fans, explore our Cordless Blowers section.
- Battery Compatibility: DEWALT's 20V MAX tools share batteries across their lineup, adding value for multi-tool users.
- Weight and Ergonomics: Lightweight designs under 10 lbs, with trigger locks and variable speeds, ensure comfort for extended sessions.
- Durability: Brushless motors in premium models like the DEWALT XR extend lifespan and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between CFM and MPH in blowers?
CFM measures air volume for moving large piles, while MPH gauges speed for scattering fine debris. Balance both for versatility—aim for 300+ CFM and 150+ MPH for most tasks.
Are cordless blowers powerful enough for heavy leaves?
Yes, models like the EGO POWER+ with 530 CFM match or exceed corded rivals. Battery life varies, but turbo modes handle wet or dense leaves effectively.
Do I need to buy a battery separately for DEWALT blowers?
The DCE100B and DCBL722B are bare tools, so pair with your existing 20V MAX batteries. Kits like EGO's include them for convenience.
Can blowers replace rakes entirely?
For most dry debris, yes—they're faster and less labor-intensive. Use in open areas; rakes suit tight spots or mulching.
How do I maintain my blower?
Clean air vents after use, store batteries charged, and check for wear on nozzles. Most feature durable builds for seasons of reliable service.
