Greenworks BL40B201 40V 350 CFM leaf blower kit review

A small 40V kit with its own battery and charger

Greenworks identifies this U.S. package as BL40B201, SKU 2437102: a cordless handheld blower sold with one 2.0 Ah 40V battery, a charger and the owner's manual. The manufacturer lists a maximum of 350 CFM and 100 mph, with a two-speed control. That combination makes the kit most relevant when you want a straightforward, self-contained tool for lighter routine cleanup—not when your first priority is moving a broad layer of wet leaves or finishing a large property in one battery run.

One distinction matters before comparing it with other Greenworks tools: the exact listing states “Brushless Motor: No.” It does not separately describe the motor's construction, so this review treats the product as not documented brushless rather than assigning a different motor label. The 40V battery is described as compatible with Greenworks' 40V family; voltage alone does not establish compatibility with the brand's 24V, 60V or 80V products.

Two speed positions, not a variable trigger

The product page lists “Trigger Speed: 2 Speed.” Its page-linked 36-page manual is titled as a 40V 350 CFM blower, but the cover prints BLF347 and the file name contains 2412002; the selected retail kit page identifies BL40B201 / 2437102. The manual's control diagram and operation instructions show an on/off button with speed positions 1 and 2. Those records support a two-position speed control. They do not establish a continuously variable trigger, cruise control or a dedicated Turbo/Boost button.

Greenworks publishes 350 CFM and 100 mph for the blower. CFM describes air volume and mph describes air speed; neither number is a third-party clearing test or a guarantee about how quickly a particular yard will be cleared. For loose, dry leaves, grass clippings or debris on a small path, patio or driveway, a compact handheld with two settings can be easier to pace than an oversized blower. If you need more than 350 CFM, the threshold is concrete: this model meets a 350-CFM minimum but not 351. Greenworks' own 40V BL40B2512 kit is listed at 500 CFM and the BLF442 at 550 CFM, with larger battery packages; consider those instead when broader airflow is essential.

Battery, runtime and charging

The selected package includes one 2.0 Ah battery and charger. Greenworks lists a 30-minute runtime and 60-minute recharge time. The page does not give a setting, workload, temperature, battery age or test method for the runtime figure, and it does not name the charger supplied in this kit. Treat 30 minutes as the maker's stated maximum, not a promise of a half-hour at the high setting. The 60-minute recharge figure is useful for planning a pause, but it is not an independent charge test.

The page says the 40V battery family powers more than 75 Greenworks tools. The linked manual lists BAF721, BAF724, BAF704 and other BAF-series packs, plus charger models 29482, 2900802, CAF806 and other CAF-series units. It does not identify which exact pack or charger is included with SKU 2437102. If you already own Greenworks 40V equipment, check the pack's model against the manual; a different Greenworks voltage family is not a substitute.

Weight and attachments: do not fill in the blanks

The exact product page displays “Weight: 6.04 lbs,” but it does not say whether that is bare-tool, battery-installed or another product-weight basis. The linked manual's technical-data table lists voltage, airflow, air speed and compatible battery/charger families but no weight. Consequently, the 6.04-lb figure should not be used to certify either a bare-tool limit or a ready-to-use carry-weight ceiling. If weight is an essential limit, this model remains unverified for that question.

The exact box list names one blower, one 2.0 Ah battery, one charger and the manual. The operator manual shows a tube and nozzle as parts of the machine and tells the user to assemble them, but does not identify an included nozzle shape in the package list. This is a blower-only tool, not a vacuum/mulcher; there is no collection bag or string trimmer in the listed package. The exact product page supplies no numeric 50-foot sound-pressure rating or blowing-force figure. Low-noise marketing language is not a verified sound level, and the manual calls for hearing protection.

Who should choose it?

Choose BL40B201 / 2437102 if you want one Greenworks 40V handheld blower kit with its own 2.0 Ah pack and charger, the manufacturer's 350-CFM ceiling meets your workload, and a two-position speed button is enough. It offers a more modest published output than Greenworks' 500- and 550-CFM 40V handheld options and has a smaller-capacity pack than their cited kits. That may suit brief, routine clearing; it is a poor fit for someone who needs documented variable control, long high-speed sessions, vacuum collection, a specified carry weight or a confirmed numeric noise limit.

Greenworks' U.S. product page and support-hub listing displayed Add to Cart when checked, but a changing web listing is not a guarantee of local stock. The package carries a stated three-year limited tool-and-battery warranty; the linked manual says normal personal-use coverage is subject to proof of purchase, registration and exclusions. As with any battery tool, follow the exact manual, remove the pack before cleaning or maintenance, keep it dry and wear the specified eye and hearing protection.
