Which is better for fall leaf cleanup on a large lawn?

The Greenworks Pro 60V. Its 780 CFM and 200 MPH move wet, heavy leaves that the DeWalt's 450 CFM and 125 MPH will struggle with.

Which is better for a small yard or garage?

The DeWalt. It is lighter, runs at 66 dB and its variable speed trigger suits sweeping hard surfaces without blowing everything loose.

Which lasts longer on one charge?

The Greenworks, rated up to 60 minutes on its 4.0 Ah battery. DeWalt does not publish runtime for the 5Ah kit.

Is the Greenworks worth the extra weight?

If you clear big areas, yes. The 17.42 lbs is the trade-off for roughly 1.7 times the air volume and 60% more air speed than the DeWalt.

Do the batteries work with other tools?

Yes for both. The DeWalt 5Ah battery fits DeWalt 20V MAX tools, and the Greenworks 60V battery powers over 75 Greenworks 60V tools.

How do the warranties compare?

Greenworks states a 4-year limited warranty on tool and battery. The DeWalt listing does not state a warranty, so confirm it with the seller.

DEWALT 20V MAX Brushless Handheld Blower Kit vs Pro 60V Cordless Battery Leaf Blower

Buy the Greenworks Pro 60V if you clear big yards, wet leaves or gravel drives: 780 CFM and 200 MPH roughly match a 28cc gas blower, and it runs up to 60 minutes on the included 4.0 Ah battery. Buy the DeWalt DCBL722P1 if you already own DeWalt 20V MAX batteries and want a light, quiet 66 dB handheld for patios, garages and light leaf work. The DeWalt kit was $196.99 at its lowest recent price (November 2) versus $238.99 on October 31; the Greenworks listing here shows no price, so check its current store price before deciding.
