- Is the Craftsman CSE worth it over a battery blower?
- If you have an outdoor outlet and a yard up to about 1/4 acre, yes. You get 385 CFM and 230 MPH with no battery or recharge cost. A battery blower wins only if you need to work far from power.
- How does it compare with a gas blower?
- It is lighter to start and needs no fuel or oil, but 385 CFM is below most handheld gas blowers. For light residential leaf cleanup and mulching, the corded electric setup is simpler and cheaper to run.
- What is included in the box?
- One CMEBL700 blower/vac/mulcher and one collection bag for vacuum operation. You supply your own outdoor extension cord.
- Can it mulch leaves into the bag?
- Yes. The anti-clog impeller shreds leaves as they are vacuumed into the 55 L backpack bag, so you empty it less often. Dry leaves mulch best; damp leaves can clog.
- When is the price lowest?
- Leaf blowers usually drop in fall clearance and spring promotions. The current $99.99 at Lowe's as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range across 4 stores.
