| Cut the cordSeptember 7, 2017 I really like this Dewalt blower. It has good power, and I love not having to drag the electrical cord around. It was a real hassle blowing the leaves and debris off my roof with that electrical cord. Now I am free of that. I love this tool, and I think you will too. The blower works great. I need a replacement batteryAugust 17, 2017 The battery only lasted 6 months. The blower works great. I need a replacement battery. You gotta love the battery powered tools.December 28, 2016 This blower works as well, if not better than the gas blowers that we have. The advantage it has over gas is that when you let off the trigger the blower stops so that repositioning to blow again is easier. The battery lasts a long time , however, you need 2 batteries if you are going to use it a lot. Right now we use it to clean up our cabinet shop and job sites so only having one battery is not a big issue for us. Best BlowerAugust 25, 2016 I love this blower. It has plenty of power and I can do my entire yard 8 to 10 times before charging. My only complaint was the price I paid. After purchasing there was a major price drop. I bought the blower and trimmer together and I am very happy with both. The blower is mainly made to run on the right side of the operator because of where the air intake is located. Very Useful, but heavyNovember 6, 2015 This is a great supplement to my existing leaf removal equipment. I live on a heavily wooded lot. I currently have 2 corded electric blower, a Little Wonder wheeled leaf blower and a Cyclone Rake attached to the back of my Lawn Tractor. Fall is a tremendous amount of work.
There are some areas of the yard where a leaf blower is most useful. Unfortunately, some of those areas require a 150 foot long extension cord. This becomes very cumbersome to work with. There are issues with the cord getting tangled in other objects (rocks, trees, vehicles), plus getting that much cord out and then storing is a bit of a pain.
I really didn't want another piece of gas powered equipment to maintain. Between lawn mowers, power washers, weed whackers, it's enough work.
This works very well for those areas that are more than 50 feet from the house. I still use corded blowers for areas less than 50 feet to maximize the utility of this unit. It seems more powerful than the corded blowers and lasts about 30-45 minutes on a single charge. It is quite heavy with the 6 amp battery. Heavy enough that my wife asked about a shoulder strap. As others have noted, it's a bit difficult to use with your left hand as it must be held away from your body due to the position of the intake.
I'm hoping the battery lasts a long time as the replacements are very expensive ($250). | | | | |

| Great product with decent battery life.August 26, 2017 My only complaint would be that the battery life goes quick. I get about 20 minutes out of a full charge. Otherwise, it would be a 5-star product. Dewalt is super reliable for me. Four StarsAugust 7, 2017 Working good. My second blower - First one died, yet I still recommend these.November 24, 2016 This is my second Dewalt 40V blower that I've purchased. The first one died after about a years worth of heavy use. While the blower is a bit pricey, it is extremely convenient. I have nearly all of the other 40V products from Dewalt and the batteries being interchangeable really limits my need for too many batteries.
Battery Time: you can count on getting about an hour of use per charge and the battery will recharge in well under an hour. That means if you are like me and have a large property to keep clean, you can get 100% usage rotating out two batteries. I've had my batteries for just over a year now and they are still going strong. I use this every weekend for about 4 hours.
While you pay more for this vs some of the gas powered blowers, it has plenty of power for me to move up to 2 in. rocks that have been kicked into my driveway. I rarely use a broom anymore! .... and I don't have to breath the gas fumes either!
Summary: Highly Recommend this blower and the Dewalt 40V system. You won't be disappointed!
Update: My first blower broke after a belt inside it broke. I am sending it back for repairs to Dewalt under warranty so I'll end up having two blowers. I guess my son can join me now and we can knock things out in half the time! Not happy aboutAugust 22, 2016 However the engine siezee up exactly one year after I purchased it.. Not happy about that the device does a wonderful job and I truly like not having to work ...March 1, 2016 The device is heavy as others have said and is a challenge for left handers (my wife) with loose clothing due to the air intake being on the right side of the blower. I also find it does not have as much air output as comparable gasoline models. That said, the device does a wonderful job and I truly like not having to work with gas and oil. The operating time on a full charge is about 20 minutes which I find adequate for most tasks around my house. I would recommend to a friend. | | | | |

| So I am not pleased that a $400 blower died before its time but ...November 13, 2016 After 14 months the unit stopped working and gave me the whining sound. I brought it to the DeWalt service center and they said that, even though it is out of warranty, they have had numerous complaints and would fix it for free. Repair took two weeks and they shipped it directly to my home. So I am not pleased that a $400 blower died before its time but I am pleased that the manufacturer took care of it. What I don't know is if they've rectified the underlying cause of all these failures; I guess time will tell.
As far as performance goes, the battery life is good and it blows almost as well as my gas Echo. I have had issues with the switch not working, which is fixed by re-seating the battery. I'm left-handed and this is definitely a right-handed blower - otherwise your pants get sucked into the intake. I find myself having to hold it awkwardly with two hands if I can't keep it far enough away from my body. Positives are the convenience of no cord or messing with ...October 22, 2015 Positives are the convenience of no cord or messing with fuel. Negatives are 1) it is heavy to use and 2) it doesn't blow directionally very well due to the lack of a flat end where the air comes out. OKJuly 29, 2015 It is kind of weak compared to my Shindaiwa gas/oil blower. As an example, this Dewalt will not blow wet grass very well if at all. It would be helpful as one reviewer mentioned if they would put a tip on the blower making the opening smaller and thus the wind more concentrated. Compared to say a Homelite this blower is about on par but compared to commercial equipment such as Shindaiwa it falls well below par. Would I buy it again? If you have the money to spare it is very nice not to deal with fuel at all and the battery lasts 20 - 30 minutes. For standard dry grass clippings on a driveway or side of the road it will do perfectly. Less wowed after replacing two of these...July 15, 2015 Fantastic! Unbelievable power for a battery-powered blower. The weight is well distributed, which makes it easy to handle. The variable speed trigger has a smooth action. This is a high-quality product with loads of power.
Alright, I was initially blown away (couldn't resist that) by its power and battery life. Unfortunately, the motor life wasn't very good in the first two. One motor burned out after three months of pretty light duty work (blowing lawn clippings on my small yard). The second motor burned out after about five months. I will say that DeWalt has stood by their product and replaced both of them. I'm waiting for my latest replacement to arrive, and hope that DeWalt has run out of the defective motors :-) | | | | |

| Runs out of juice in 30 minApril 19, 2017 Befor you buy......the air flow is ok close to what a gas power would be. Bad thing is battery last only 30 total mins. Not good quality !!!October 6, 2016 I don't think it's good quality it's been a few months I have motor issues and it's new ; I barely used it, battery last very little and blower is heavy, great looking but not good quality - I have a garage full of Dewalt products - love 'em allSeptember 4, 2016 I have a garage full of Dewalt products - love 'em all! BUT I have used this blower 3 times within a 12-month period and now when I insert the battery into the charger the red light flashes fast - according the the sticker this indicates either a bad battery or a bad charger. Amazon directs me to Dewalt rather than handling the warranty replacement. Now, that's what I call "anti customer service"! Im a big dewalt fan, but buyer beware.September 1, 2016 All the tools I own are dewalt. I love them. This leaf blower was fantanstic at first. Then the battery died and had to be sent back to dewalt for replacement. Two StarsJune 9, 2016 Weak battery power. Lasts about 15 minutes. | | | | |

| Dewalt 40V Blower PROBLEMS!October 18, 2016 Lemon. Not the color but the reliability... Blower lasted a few months until the electrical system started acting up and then stopped working altogether. Returned for new unit. Then the battery stopped charging. Returned for new battery. Now replacement battery is dead... The year warranty is almost up. What to do? Poor quality, don't waste your money.September 16, 2016 Bought this thing last Dec., working fine the first use. Last week was the 2nd use and after 10 min., high pitch sound like others and stop working. Poor quality. Piece of garbage...losing faith in dewalt quality.August 21, 2016 Like other reviews on here. This thing is a piece of junk. After about 15 min of use, it stopped blowing and just makes a grinding/whining noise even after a full recharge. Dewalt should recall this garbage. Definitely returning this. I thought DeWalt was a better product than thatJuly 21, 2016 We have only had this product for four months. I do understand there is only a 30 day warranty, but for the price of this product, you would expect it to work longer than four months. Three nights ago, it just quit in the middle of blowing off the sidewalk. I will not start, it is totally dead. I'm very displeased. I thought DeWalt was a better product than that. Won't purchase DeWalt again. Poor Quality at a high priceJuly 20, 2016 Bought it 1 year ago, and used it 2-3 times at the most. Stopped working, looks like the motor jammed. While using it today, it was making squeaky noises and smoke came out of the motor. | | | | |
