CRAFTSMAN V20 RP CMCBL730P1 review

A brushless V20 blower with a 5.0Ah battery and a Boost button up to 410 CFM, but a stated 24 minutes at most.

Mid-size battery blower

CRAFTSMAN sits between the small sweepers and the EGO. The Boost button unlocks 410 CFM for wet patches.

Claims to read

The listing says up to 66% more runtime and 37% more force, against footnoted comparisons we could not see. The 24 minutes is the number to plan around.

Safe work

Wear eye and hearing protection, and keep the air stream away from people and pets. Noise figures on listings do not always say whether they are sound power or sound pressure.

The way we judge this lawn equipment

The live figure beside a product went and asked the shop for it the moment this page opened; any amount written into the text has not moved since the sentence was drafted, and it is the first of the two that counts.
