Bosch recently provided a 18V Profactor cordless blower (GBL18V-450N) for evaluation, and I’ve put it through rigorous testing throughout the summer and fall.

This review summarizes my experience with the tool, assessing its performance and features against competing models.

The blower boasts a maximum air speed of 123 mph and a volume of 450 CFM, utilizing an axial blower fan for a compact design.

Bosch highlights its low noise level of 64 dB, making it a relatively quiet option for yard work.

Key specifications include a brushless motor, a trigger switch with a lock-on feature, and a speed control dial for adjusting airflow.

While not a powerhouse, the blower provides solid mid-level blowing and ground clearing capabilities within a manageable size and weight.

During testing, I appreciated the intuitive controls and the tool’s ease of assembly, including a convenient twist-and-click nozzle attachment.

However, the speed control dial presented a slight learning curve compared to variable-speed triggers found on other models.

Despite not being the quietest option, it performed adequately against competing blowers from Milwaukee, Dewalt, and Makita, delivering the claimed airflow and volume.

Bosch’s commitment to cordless outdoor power tools is growing, and this blower represents a worthwhile addition to their 18V lineup.

The included promotional offers, such as a starter kit with a Core18V battery and charger, further enhance its value.

Ultimately, this Bosch blower is a dependable choice for homeowners seeking a convenient and effective cordless solution for routine yard maintenance.
