I posted about the Dewalt 20 Max DCBL720P1 blower earlier in the year asking how it compared to the EGO. After waying the pro’s & con’s of each thought I would like the lighter weight Dewalt better. It not being a must have purchase decided to wait for a good price and it dropped Sept 2nd for one day to $150… but I couldn’t pull the trigger. Milwaukee had just announced their new 18V blower so I had a decision to make already being in the Milwaukee camp. I do believe the Milwaukee will be more powerful but also heavier and possibly more expensive so again I’m back to the Dewalt. Anyway the Sept 2 price drop Is the lowest I’ve seen and with tax added it would have run about $160.
I believe in the past year most were selling this for $200 with sales knocking it down to an average of $180. Now it appears the price has dropped to $180 (non sale price). When Dewalt does this with a tool does it mean they’re coming out with a newer model?
After using for awhile are owners generally happy with their Dewalt DCBL720P1 purchase… lighter duty work like blowing leaves out the garage and off your drive/patio?
CPO has $25 off this blower right now anyone think it could go lower during the holidays?
I’ve never tried the ego blower but I do own the Dewalt blower and I can tell u I love it! Yes I do wish it had a lil bit more power but it does a good job overall I have a huge avocado, navel orange and tangerine tree which produce a lot of leaves plus I have 2 trees in the front which produce a lot trash also and I can get it all done including the grass clippings with 1 5.0 battery when I let both the back and front yard go for awhile without maintenance I will have to pop in a second battery but usually I’m pretty good about staying on schedule u do have to note that I live on a small yard at around 6,000 sqft plus I have a lot of extra Dewalt batteries
Thanks for replying Bigmike glad you like it! Yes the power thing is something I worry about some not ever having one in my hands, or possibly try out. I live in a rural area near Wichita, KS and I’ve not found one local dealer that carries one in stock.
Do you have any desire to check out the new Milwaukee 18V blower coming out the first of the year?
Its not likely that an update is coming. Its already brushless. If dewalt comes out with a better brushless motor for their 20v ope I could see an update coming.
