Vibogen VIBOGEN HG0645 review

At $50 with two batteries, the cheapest cordless blower here claims 420 CFM. A rating of 4.7 is high, but the airflow is hard to believe at this size.

Great price

At $50, you get two 4.0Ah packs, a charger and two nozzles, and buyers give it 4.7 out of 5.

Doubt the headline

The table lists 400 watts. A published 420 CFM from that is a bold claim, and it deserves caution.

Sensible use

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.

Prices quoted in this text are dated readings and can differ from the live price in the buy box.

What this machine usually gets asked

Can a tool this small move 420 CFM?

It is the seller’s figure, with no test method given. Compare it with the 5.0Ah CRAFTSMAN at 410 CFM with Boost and judge for yourself.

Is the weight with battery?

No. The listing says 2.74 pounds without the battery.

Our score

8.5/ 10

A fine little tool for the money. Treat the 420 CFM as a claim.
