Community Reviews
Kobalt's Gen4 40 volt blower looks like a strong value for light yard cleanup, especially if you already use the 40 volt battery line. The 4.0 amp hour battery and charger make the $79 kit stand out, and the blower is described as plenty powerful for walkways, leaf pickup, and even car drying. It is also praised as quieter and far better than cheap 20 volt blowers. The main caution is battery life, since heavy use can drain it fast and may leave little warning before it hits empty. A solid fit when you want cordless convenience without gas blower size or noise.
Common Questions (5)
It is reported to be plenty powerful for light yard cleanup, with one user saying it lifts leaves within about a 6-foot radius. For car drying, anything over 450 CFM can push water off with minimal towel drying, so this 520-CFM model should be strong enough for that use too.
Yes. The kit price is described as a good deal because a battery-and-charger set alone cost more than $79 on eBay, and the blower has also been bought for $99 on sale before.
Yes, it is especially attractive if you are already in the Kobalt 40V line because it becomes a strong add-on tool. Having at least two 4Ah batteries is useful so the blower can stay in rotation for multiple users or longer jobs.
The battery can drain fast enough that it may hit 0% without much warning, and the blower does not stop around 10% the way some tools do. That makes runtime management important, especially if you plan to use it heavily or want to avoid deep discharges.
No, it is better suited to lighter cleanup than replacing a large gas blower. One user with a 900-CFM gas RedMax expects this Kobalt to handle walkways and quick cleanup, not heavy wooded-yard work.

The Kobalt just freaking lifts up everything within 6ft radius high into the air.
For a lowly 40v 120mph that's pretty good. This is why this is such a smoking deal.
This thing has probably 200x the power of Amazon noname blowers for only 2x the price
And it has a 5yr warranty. Amazon junk has none at all
Got 10% off Lowes gift cards from Doordash as well.
