Customer Reviews for DEWALT 12 AMP 189 MPH 409 CFM Corded Electric Handheld Leaf Blower

Stopped working after 5 uses. Returned it last week

Overall it’s a decent blower. It is a little heavy but not bad. The nozzle attachments are a complete joke. Thin plastic, loose fitting. Better fitting nozzles would’ve given this a five star.

We use this for blowing leaves and acorns off a tennis court - it's a monster and a huge upgrade over the previous electric blower. Very powerful - does the job quickly, even when the leaves are wet.

Powerful but heavy too

This is truly a great value. After years a using a back pack styled gas powered leaf blower I chose this one. The price was good and I simply got tired of always fixing/maintaining my gas unit and always mixing the gas etc. I have 1/2 acre yard with lots of oak tree leaves. I have found: Pros: It has plenty of power. Really moves leaves. Is less noisy than the gas units. Can store it in basement or closet (no gas odor). There is absolutely no maintenance (a huge plus in my book). I was always fixing my old blower first and THEN blowing leaves. That took more time. Cons: A tad heavy (not immediately noticeable but you will feel it in your arms after say an hour or two of blowing). Not a big deal though. You need exterior plug access (I have on 3 sides of my house so not an issue for me)..but just be mindful you also need long outside extension cords too but nothing too fancy needed. In sum, this is perfect for a homeowner. Enjoy.

Luckily I’m right handed. It has a weird shaped blow tube I guess because of the motor sticking out the left side. The tube insertion device that’s supposed to hold the tube to the motor base didn’t catch when I took it out of the box. Rather than send it back I used a zip tie to hold the spring down. Seems to have plenty of power

the blower works well for us

Good Entry level leaf blower. Only thing little heavy.

Great lil blower kept slot of work off me I'm 70 years old still do my yardwork this helps great little helper

Truly impressed by this electric blower did not expect to get this type of a result...I do recommend it....if there’s a downside to it having to carry the extension cord around.

It is a great product. Has a lot of power,, and I love that I can adjust the airflow by squeezing the trigger.

Not good ergonomics - not well balanced and primarily a right hand device.

Replaced another brand with this one. This blower has a full list of repair parts available, and does the job needed very well. It is a bit heavy, and it does have a whine to it, but its basically a circular saw motor repurposed as a fan motor. I wear ear protection, no problem. Best I found for what I need!

This is an awesome machine, does the job perfectly!!!

I'm always having to sweep the porch and got tired of it so I asked for this blower for my 65th birthday. I am in a wheelchair. This blower is the perfect solution. It is light enough for me (i'm a woman) to use to clean everything outdoors that I want. I use it from my wheelchair. I love it, will be a lot easier than trying to sweep dirt, leaves etc.

The blower worked perfectly right out of the box.

Works perfect, CFM is awesome and no batteries to keep charged.

Working very well so far

I wanted a blower with variable speed so I could turn it down when working leaves around a corner of the yard (without blowing them over the fence). I tried a Toro 700 & a Toro 250. They both have variable speed controls, but neither went as low as I'd like (the 250 almost did. But, it's control wasn't in a good place to operate it on the fly.). I finally saw a video which suggested this Dewalt goes low. I bought one on HD's online site. Wow, it's great. It does go very low. The trigger also lets you pulse it easily (the other blowers seem to be more of either/or proposition. A lot of power, or off. This one you can wiggle your finger rapidly and get some variability, more control.). I also like how the nozzels attach to the end (that Toro 250 required disassembly to insert the nozzle *inside* the tube). With the Dewalt, it's just a reach to the end of the tube, twist, remove. This blower is a little heavier, bulkier. But, for my requirement to be able to control the leaf blowing better, especially blowing out of a corner, I was happy to find this.

Powerful leaf blower. No issues so far. Slightly in the heavy side.

Wanted an electric with power and this does the trick. Real test is there is a space between my hot tub and deck that leaves gather. Blew it out as well as my old gas one. Only draw backs are it doesn’t mulch but I never used that feature and the air draw sometimes sucks up your shirt but you get used to it and avoid it.

Very powerful, not too heavy. It was exactly what I was looking for. I use it every couple of days to quickly clean off the front porch and sidewalk.

I found this Leaf Blower to be very good at handling most jobs. It is powerful, and easy to maneuver. Cords can be a problem, but the power and reliability is worth it. A little on the heavy side, but not terrible. Works well and gets the job done.

Great Blower! I like the power it generates and the attachments for nozzle.

Works very well
