Key Features
Serious Clearing PowerUp to 450 CFM and 125 MPH with the concentrator nozzle gives this handheld blower enough output for leaves, grass clippings, and light debris on patios, driveways, and walkways. Brushless EfficiencyThe brushless motor and axial fan design are built to push more air while helping extend motor life and usable runtime. Easy to ControlA variable speed trigger with speed lock lets you feather the airflow for corners and mulch beds, then hold a steady setting without squeezing the trigger the whole time.
Overview
The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Handheld Blower, Model Number DCBL722B, is a cordless leaf blower built for quick debris cleanup around homes, shops, and jobsites. This is a handheld blower designed for clearing leaves, grass clippings, dust, and light surface debris. If you already run DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and want a grab-and-go tool that is easier to reach for than a corded or backpack unit, this is the one that makes sense.
What matters most here is output versus size. DEWALT rates this blower at up to 450 cubic feet per minute and up to 125 miles per hour with the included concentrator nozzle. That means it has enough airflow for hard-surface cleanup like driveways, sidewalks, patios, garage floors, and shop areas, while the nozzle helps focus the air stream when you need to move wet leaves, packed debris, or material stuck along edges.
The blower uses an innovative axial fan design and a high-efficiency brushless motor. In plain terms, that setup is meant to move more air without wasting as much battery power or building as much wear into the motor. For a cordless blower, that balance matters. You want enough force to actually get the job done, but you also want runtime and dependable day-to-day use. The brushless motor helps on both fronts.
DEWALT also got the handling right. The tool is described as lightweight and ergonomic, and the listed weight is about 5.4 lbs. That makes a difference when you are cleaning long fence lines, porch steps, landscape beds, or overhead areas like gutters and garage door tracks where a bulky blower gets tiring fast. The compact form also makes it easier to keep in the truck, trailer, or shop without giving up a ton of space.
Control is another strong point. Instead of one fixed blast, you get a variable speed trigger plus a speed lock. That lets you dial things back when you are working around mulch, decorative stone, or freshly swept material you do not want scattered everywhere. Then, when you need continuous output on a driveway or sidewalk, you can lock the speed in and keep moving without constantly squeezing the trigger.
For noise-sensitive areas, this blower has an advantage over larger gas units. DEWALT calls out low-noise operation, making it a better fit for neighborhood cleanup, property maintenance, and early-morning or shared-space work where a loud blower can become a problem. It is still a real blower, not a toy, but it is clearly aimed at users who want useful cordless performance without the mess, startup routine, and noise of gas equipment.
System fit is straightforward. This is a 20V MAX battery-powered blower, so it is a good match for users already invested in the DEWALT cordless platform. Since this version is sold as a tool only, it is especially appealing for current DEWALT owners who already have compatible batteries and chargers on hand. That keeps the buy-in lower if you are adding a blower to an existing setup.
Who should buy it? Homeowners, property maintenance crews, remodelers, carpenters, installers, and serious DIY users who need fast cleanup without dragging out a cord or firing up a gas machine. If your main work is hard-surface cleanup, light leaf management, garage and shop cleanup, or quick touch-up work around a property, the DCBL722B hits the sweet spot. If you are trying to replace a full-size backpack blower for heavy wet leaf piles across a large property, this is probably not your tool. But for speed, convenience, and real cordless usability, it is a smart setup.

Moves Debris Fast on Hard Surfaces
This blower is built for the kind of cleanup most people actually do: leaves along sidewalks, grass clippings on a driveway, dust in a garage, and general property touch-up work that needs to happen fast.
- Up to 450 CFM of airflow for broad surface cleanup
- Up to 125 MPH with the concentrator nozzle for more focused push
Compact Enough to Use Longer
Big output does not help much if the tool wears you out. The compact body, ergonomic layout, and roughly 5.4 lb weight make this handheld leaf blower easier to carry, aim, and control around beds, fence lines, and tight corners.
- Lightweight design helps reduce arm fatigue during repeated cleanup
- Ergonomic handle layout gives better directional control
Better Control Means Less Rework
The variable speed trigger and speed lock are a bigger deal than they sound. They let you back the blower down around mulch and decorative areas, then hold a steady speed for longer passes without hand fatigue.
- Variable trigger gives more precise airflow when detail work matters
- Speed lock helps on longer cleanup runs and can help stretch runtime

Pro Tip
Use the concentrator nozzle when you need to move heavier debris or clean tight edges, then back the speed down and use the lock for longer passes. DEWALT also shows runtime of up to 87 minutes on the lowest speed setting with a DCB205 battery, so controlled airflow is the move when you are trying to stretch a battery.
