How hard does the unit blow...what is the mph
905464
Max Air Volume = 356 cfm and Max Air Speed = 145 mph. (This information is from the Makita website.) It blows very well and seems to actually work better than these numbers might suggest.

Found on another website - this info was not in the User Manual:Specifications:Engine Displacement (cc) 24.5 Engine Power (hp) 1.1 Max Air Volume (cfm) 356 Max Air Speed (mph) 145 Fuel Automobile Gasoline Fuel Tank Capacity (oz.) 17.6 Sound Pressure (dB(A)) 67 Dry Weight (lbs.) 9.8 Shipping Weight (lbs.) 13.0

MPH rating doesn't mean much compared to a blower's design. This blower moves a LOT of air even at low speeds. It moves more debris than my previous 2-stroke backpack blower especially at lower speeds. I rarely use this at full throttle. And like the other posts mention, the ease of start up is a huge plus over 2-stroke machines.

I'm not sure of mph but I have several large rock beds and it blows all of them really clean. If you point directly at the rocks it will spread them. Very satisfied with this blower. Another plus is it's very easy to start.

Advertised at 145 mph. It's a great unit. 4-cycle engine makes for less noise and no mixing of oil & gas.

not self propelled - the blower is light in comparison to gasoline counter part - personally did not have issues on the pushing the blower. 15 amp is a big draw for our house circuit. 6-8 inches of packed snow should not be an issue. One foot of snow from the last snowfall was cleared but we had to reset the fuse 3 times.

I live in So Cal on a lake where the Santa Ana winds can kick up to 60 mph+. I have three of these units around my pool and backyard. Never have they blown over. They have a rather wide stance and while not HEAVY do weigh a reasonable amount. Would not consider the wind a concern. Only concern is that the inside is not smooth so if you over stuff the garbage bag in the unit is difficult to get out.

I've never gunned it, but my guess would be about 70mph. I recently had high school boys trying to hit softballs and there was no complaint about it being to slow. You have to make sure the ball "cup" is tight enough to the wheel to get that "thwunk" sound and you'll get pretty good velocity. This is a great machine for the price and works really well for fly balls also.

When I drove it it seemed to get the MPH pretty well. Also I think the Rpm and a few other readings, I can't remember well what the others were. It help me keep that car running until I finally decided to get rid of the car. The Machine works pretty well. I recommend it for an enthusiast. :)

It is advertised to be 230 mph. Never checked it, but all I know is it will really blow the leaves or whatever your trying to move. Totally satisfied with the 570bt. A bit large, but from a performance perspective it certainly lives up to what it is rated to do. Gary L.

Rather than answer the question, I should tell you not to buy the unit. There is a rattle on med speed. Low is fantastically quiet, high is loud, but very powerful. Med has a strange noise. I saw it in a review by someone else on the internet. Would not buy again.

It's not bad plus I find it seems to blow colder on medium or low fan speed. High works Ok but on a really hot day high seems to over whelm the cooling unit. I love the remote unit. Being 220 vac it works better the the 110 vac unit it replaced. So far so good.

Unknown and Unknown.... However, it moves a TON of air and is super durable!! I race offroad and use this to pump air into my cvt manifold on the car. It is pumping dirt, silt, mud, and has been soaked. Still works like the day I bought it. Races like the Vegas to Reno and Baja 1000 it was ran constantly in the hot and cold elements taking a beating for excess of 30 hours. For the price, it's pretty fantastic!!

I have clocked it at 22 MPH on a slight downhill.(No wind) It will not do this "blazing speed" for long though, as the batteries will quickly go dead, and you will be pumping! My wife weighs 140LBS, and this thing only got her downtown and back, 5 miles each way. Wide open, which is necessary at all times, it will die soon after 10 miles. Pumping a 176 LB machine is not a fun chore! This is one "Sad Puppy" I suggest a 49cc gas machine, and avoid this nightmare at all costs! I hope this helps. -Bob

I use mine to blow the dust out of laptop keyboards and the internal workings all the time and have had no issues. I think the 220 mph is a bit optimistic. One thing that probably helps to keep the wind speed down is that most of the attachments are larger openings and thus keep the velocity down. I like this device because unlike canned air, I can use it for extended periods and at all angles. It is a bit pricy but I am glad I have it. It also lasts a long time on a charge. Hope this helps Marc.

I have not used the blowing function like that, so I am not able to provide you with an accurate answer. It seems to me that the blowing capabilities move dust, leaves and dirt, but it is not like a gas-powered leaf blower at all. Sorry that I could not be more help.

My machine has been doing 6 miles a day at 4.5 mph for the past 6 months.....works perfectly.....I even have it on an outside porch that allows mist to get on the unit.....GREAT value!!

It has done a nice job at highway speeds, although I had a 40 mph head wind once and I had to do a little work on it. I no longer use it because I have a 5th wheel

Hello Anne, Thank you for your inquiry. The speed for this model is 10-15MPH.

I can't answer your question - the blower unit didn't work upon receipt so I sent the entire thing back. Sorry

I owned this generator, i don't have a speedometer but i think that it might be around 4mph or so (dim light, almost useless). It's not much, but if you slow down it goes off immediately, and if you accelerate it brights up even more. Consider i was using it in and old, english style bycicle in a crowded city. I ended up reselling it because the weight of the bycicle plus the generator made it to heavy AND noisy. I think that if you have a lighter bike (and/or with shifts) and you don't mind the noise, it's ok. Hope this was useful.
