Best for: Smaller yards, older users, and anyone who hates heavy blowers.

Our recommendation

DeWalt 20V Max owners buy the DCBL722 as a bare tool: 450 CFM brushless is solid and the value is excellent. Everyone else with a small yard buys the Worx WG584: lighter, simpler, and comfortable for the light-duty work it is designed for. Do not buy the DeWalt as your first battery platform for a small yard; do not expect the Worx to handle heavy leaves.

Airflow

450 vs 430 CFM looks close, but the DeWalt's brushless motor sustains output better under load. In practice the DeWalt handles moderate leaf fall while the Worx is best on light duty. Neither is a heavy-leaf tool.

Weight and comfort

The Worx wins clearly: it is the lighter, better-balanced tool, designed for users who prioritize comfort. The DeWalt with a 5Ah battery is heftier, though still manageable.

Platform logic

The DeWalt only makes sense on the 20V Max platform you already own. The Worx 40V Power Share system (2x20V) is a smaller ecosystem but the kit includes everything, making it the better standalone purchase for non-DeWalt households.

Strengths and limitations

DeWalt 20V Max XR Blower (DCBL722)

Strengths

  • Up to 450 CFM from the 20V Max XR platform: genuinely capable for driveways, decks, and moderate leaf fall
  • Brushless motor for better efficiency and longer service life than brushed equivalents
  • Flat concentrator nozzle included for stuck-on debris alongside the standard tube

Limitations

  • 450 CFM trails the EGO's 650 meaningfully on heavy wet leaves
  • Best runtime needs the larger 5Ah+ XR batteries, which add weight and cost if bought separately
  • As a bare tool it is a great deal; as a full kit for non-DeWalt owners it is not

Worx WG584 40V Power Share Blower

Strengths

  • 40V Power Share system uses two 20V batteries you may already own from other Worx tools
  • Light and well-balanced for extended use without arm fatigue
  • Two-speed control with turbo for a simple, no-fuss operating experience

Limitations

  • 430 CFM is the lowest here; wet matted leaves will need multiple passes
  • Two-battery system means charging and managing a pair
  • Not the pick for large properties or heavy fall cleanup

Questions, answered

Which is better for a small yard?

The Worx WG584: lighter, simpler, and 430 CFM is enough for small yards. The DeWalt's advantages (brushless, platform) matter less when the workload is light.

Can either handle a big fall cleanup?

Marginally. Both will do it with patience and multiple passes, but a 600+ CFM blower (EGO, Toro) finishes in half the time. These are maintenance blowers, not cleanup machines.
