Badass, thanks for the content!
Hope it’s helpful!
Bought that green one last year and have loved it. All my tools are Yellow so very surprised at this test 😏
Disappointed in DeWalt for sure 😣
This is a cool test, and I’m dorky enough to watch reviews when I’m trying to buy mini compact blower for job site. I don’t know if they were first, but I had a black indexer years ago that was pretty dang good.
As for the testing, it is worth noting that high-end power tools and other devices using Lipo batteries have safety parameters for their batteries to cut off. I’m not trying to make an excuse here, but I have found this true in power tools, RC cars, and any other devices running on am Lipo batteries. The cheaper, usually imported devices do not bother to put in place these safety protocols to keep one from draining their battery. still great test, and I’ll buy one to try it.
I have that kimo blower. It works great for General camper use. I also ended up buying a drill for the stabilizers which is Much better than the more expensive model it replaced. I just added a pole saw, just for batteries that are all interchangeable. Pretty good little Amazon brand.
I was impressed!
I'm honestly impressed! Haha Didn't expect that at all!! I use a big Bauer one and I need something smaller. Hmmm. Great video!!
Me too!
@@WanderingWeekends You need to do another giveaway haha
I have the small Bauer. Works great.
@@22apoach Sweet! Good to know. Thank you!
Corey your neighbors think your crazy .lol plugs out 👍
… I am… 🤣
@@WanderingWeekends I am too . Crazy like a fox . Next week do a wood chipper 👍
good information thanks for doing this
Absolutely. We appreciate you watching
Another great video, with a surprise ending. I have a cheap little electric one that we carry in the van, that cost about $20( and much shorter blower tube). If it dies, I'll definitely be looking at that Kimo.
Thanks for another objective and informative video.
Thank you!!
I was not expecting that result! Goes to show you just never know
You continue to impress me with your tests. I roll with a Ryobi 20V
Just glad you watch!
Nice tips Cory I’ve been using the dewalt for a couple of years I bought it for my deck a home I do take it camping to blow my awning of on the trailer as well and around the campground that kimo is impressive
KIMO sells a 4ah battery as well… sold out right now though.
@@WanderingWeekends that’s great will last quite longer I do have some 5ah batteries cause I bought their cordless trimmer got tired dragging the cord out lol 😆
I like my ryobi, it works with the same battery as my drill and other tools.
This result surprised and intrigued me. After looking up the KIMO on Amazon I found it interesting close they were with the Dewalt being rated at 100CFM and the Kimo being rated at 150CFM. That would make me think the Dewalt has a less powerful motor and should have had a lower speed but lasted longer. Guess not, ha.
Was impressed with your side by side comparison and decided to try the Kimo. Charged it twice and it doesn't work. When the power button is depressed all the way, the blower shuts off after a few seconds. It will only stay on at lower speeds. I have to return it. Love the compact size for use with our camper but I can't keep it if it doesn't work. Maybe I just got a bad one but it's going back.
Well dang! Ours is still running great. Must have been a bad apple. I’d try one more. If that one doesn’t work let me know!
Totally unexpected.
If I didnt have any other battery tools that cheaper one seems like a good deal. But since everything I use is dewalt so is my blower. On every trip my tire inflator and impact gun for lugs is dewalt too so plenty of battery on hand.
You’d still be saving $$ buying the KIMO vs just the DeWalt tool… crazy.
@@WanderingWeekends Yea but then you have to mess with multiple chargers and what not.
I wonder if the dewalt is compatible with their other bigger batteries, if you already have them
Yes any of the 20V or the Flex volt batteries will work on it.
the only thing to test for now is longevity. see which one is still running 2 or 3 years from now. thanks
The KIMO unit is a year older and has dealt with a eager to help 5 year old that entire time… and it still smoked the DeWalt…
the cheap one is brushed type motor
while the DeWalt is a brushless motor......you know who's the winner on bench test on paper...
Were both batteries the same amp hour rating?
Yes, 2 AH for each
What ah batteries do the ones you tested have? From your links one is a 2 ah and the other is a 4 ah.
Both are 2ah
Did you happen to see if the batteries were interchangeable? I highly doubt it just asking.
No, they’re not (just based on looking at the connections).
Wow! Are both batteries roughly the same age?
Actually the KIMO battery is a year older… and a 5 year old has been giving it hell during that time. Haha.
We used to use exclusively Dewalt at work. We have find that they make a good product but that there are others out there that make, what we feel, are a bigger "bang for your buck" products.
The DeWalt feels substantial but I’m starting to think we’re just paying for thicker plastic.
Did you start with fully charged batteries
Yes. Absolutely
👍👍👍
Well I would assume that you are a DeWalt guy, sad. I kind of like the Milwaukee myself, that’s what I have. Saying that, I have never tested it when I blow off my RV. When we go camping it don’t take me no six minutes to the job. You can’t even buy a battery for the DeWalt for $60.
I’ve always had good luck with DeWalt products but I’m not brand loyal. Looks like all of the name brands are ripping us off claiming “the cost of the battery has increased”. I’m calling bull butter…
I think you missed one of the most important aspects of why we choose battery operated power tools - because we already own those type of batteries and chargers! You can actually get the Dewalt tool for about $100 less if you just need the tool (I've got several chargers and plenty of batteries). You should do a review on the Dewalt 20V inflator. That thing is a game changer! I air up everything from the airbags on my truck to my tractor tires with it. So when you factor in that I already own a crap-ton of Dewalt 20V tools, a $67 blower from Makita, even if it is slightly better in some regards, makes zero sense. No need to carry that extra weight of additional batteries and chargers with me.
Nearly 4x as much for an inferior product?! Man these big marketing Machines really have some folks by the throat. I have other DeWalt products and interchangeable batteries are nice… until you realize they’re ripping you off with $100 batteries that are mediocre all for “convenience”. DeWalt should be ashamed and we shouldn’t accept this mediocrity from them.
@@WanderingWeekends - I can certainly tell by your videos that you’re not very handy. I think I’ll take my tool advice from someone else.
thankfully there are plenty others to choose from!
@@KSTrekker coming from someone that has 12 subscribers, I think I'll stick with Wandering weekends advice. Good luck trolling somewhere else.
@@WanderingWeekends can't make everyone happy. I think you did a great job, and that's why I bought it the same day! Thanks Cory for your time in making this VERY informative video!
Personally I use a Milwaukee. The mph is not the best test. Look at the CFM . You can blow thru a straw at 35 mph but with a 3-4” nozzle it take a lot more air. Kinda like horsepower vs torque. My bet is my Milwaukee or a DeWalt will out perform in the field for a lot longer. I’ve had mine for 4 years so far without a hiccup or loss of batteries
DeWalt has certainly done a great job of marketing (and adding an extra layer of plastic to make their stuff seem substantial) but my main disappointment was the battery. I’d love an explanation on why they’re charging 3-4x what others do for batteries only to have them be outperformed by a no name that is a year older and has been given hell by a 5 year old that entire time. Hmmm
@@WanderingWeekends I can’t speak to DeWalt as I am a Milwaukee user. There batteries are also expensive but there are many tests out there showing they out perform the knock offs. Mine are going strong after 4 years. I’d also add that a lot of contractors and pro’s use these two brands day in and out . They depend upon the performance for their livelihood. I myself learned years ago buy quality tools upfront and you’ll benefit in the long run.. IMHO....
