I just picked up the 36 volt Makita blower it has 473 CFM 120 mph the Milwaukee does 600 CFM 145 mph to be honest I don't even turn mine up all the way the Makita goes to level 6, #4-5 is plenty so I don't think it needs to go up that high but, to each his own. As they say. I picked up mine with 2 of the 5.0Ah 🔋 & paid $279
I wish they would come with a Gen2 jobsite blower that puts out a little more cfm, or totally redesign that disastrous M12 "spot blower" that nothing but a glorified duster. All Milwaukee has to do is make the motor more powerful and redesign the blade with a better pitch angle to output higher cfm airflow. That M12 spot blower looked soooooo promising but failed to deliver do to poorly designed components. The entire outer shell design of the blower is excellent, it the inside components that are the failure, motor, airflow blade plate. I know exactly what Milwaukee did with that "spot blower". They took the motor and blade plate from the M18 jobsite blower and threw it in the spot blower shell. Well that would have worked just fine, but they made the blower outlet nozzle on the spot blower too big for the motor and airflow blade plate. The M18 jobsite blowers outlet nozzle is maybe a inch in a half opening. Where as the M12 spot blowers outlet nozzle is two inches, to two in a three quarters inches opening. That is where there airflow problem is on the M12 spot blower. The motor is under powered, the airflow blade plate is incorrectly sized, fins are pitched wrong for the housing airflow outlet and the blower nozzle outlet. It's like throwing an intake and exhaust from V8 engine onto a 4cylinder engine. Improperly sized inlet and outlets create airflow, proper back pressure, etc. You've got the 4cylinder engine trying to operate on V8 specifications. I dont know how this let that spot blower be mass produced knowing that the specs on it were wrong.
Maybe covid had something to do with it? Car makers were literally shipping cars with missing components and planned to have dealerships install the missing parts down the road. So maybe Milwaukee just slapped together what they could and released it.
I have noticed this same issue. Social media companies for you. They are constantly tweaking things here and there to mess with algorithms. It's one of the ways they hoard the advertising $$ and throw off liability to pay dividends to creators and influencers.
Cool! Includes 2 stubby nozzles!

True depends on your yard size for normal yard no need for more power or if your a pro need to get that yard cleaned up you might need the 600 cfm
1k? Shoot, I could fly in first class with my 1k, because coach blows. It’s a nice blower though.
I wonder how many will be sold at that price? 😂

@@joshm2243 agreed. M12 spot blower is not on my shopping list
Just a heads up I have been subscribed since close to when you started and in the last @ weeks I'm not getting notifications !!
