Whether working in a garage or workshop, having tools for quick cleanup is great. It’s more than a hassle to do the entire cleaning manually.

Well, DeWalt DCE100B is designed specifically to solve this issue. It’s a 20V Max Lithium-Ion blower designed to be compatible with DeWalt’s 20V battery lineup. 

But how well does it perform, and can it compete with the large corded blowers?

First Impressions: Unboxing the DeWalt DCE100B

I’ve got my hands on a DeWalt DCE100B 20V Max Lithium-Ion blower, and I’m excited to see what this little powerhouse can do.

One of the biggest benefits of this blower is its compatibility with other DeWalt 20V lithium-ion batteries.

This means if you already have DeWalt tools. This will fit perfectly with your setup. Now, this isn’t some industrial-grade leaf blower. 

Its 100 CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating tells us it can move a good amount of dust from your tools. Inside the box, we don’t have many things to unbox.

The DeWalt DCE100B unit itself is lightweight, which is something a lot of smart homeowners appreciate. The battery adds little weight to the blower.

Consider other aftermarket options if you are looking for a much lighter option. To watch the complete unboxing, check out my video:

Power Test: How Strong is the DeWalt DCE100B?

Let’s first use this thing to see how well it works. I pointed the blower at my camera, which had dust, and then gave it a go.

The initial burst didn’t feel that powerful, but I realized I was using it on level one.

• Level 2: At this level, the power increase gets noticeable, and the little powerhouse makes some noise.

• Level 3: When I tweaked it to this level, it blew a few small things from my table. Airflow gets stronger, and I’m impressed. Okay, how much power does it deliver for its size?

I loved its speed control feature as it gives the flexibility to control airflow depending on what type of work you are doing.

For example, level one works if you need a light blow to remove slight dust. However, if you are about to blow some sticky debris away, using level three can get the job done.

Exploring the Attachments: What’s in the Box?

Let’s talk about the extra tools of the DeWalt DCE100 B. You get a manual, which I’ll probably ignore, and we get a couple of rubber nozzle attachments.

These nozzles are soft and flexible, and I could squeeze them flat. They adjust pretty easily, it just quick twists to lock them in place, and you’re good to go.

More Than Just a Blower: Inflating & Deflating Features

One of the cool features of DeWalt DCE100B is that it can also be used as an inflator or deflator.

There’s a little latch button on its side, which allows hand-free operation, especially when you are inflating something.

Let me break down how the inflating and deflating process works:

• Inflating: Attach the right nozzle, and then it pushes out air. It quickly fills up inflated objects.

• Deflating: Here’s when things get interesting. The unit has a suction function, and when you attach a deflation nozzle to its side, it will deflate. It becomes a full-fledged deflator.

Its unique design serves a dual purpose. This little guy can handle it all, whether you are blowing dust or deflating a pool float.

Battery Life: How Long Can You Expect?

I’ve been using the DeWalt DCE100B for about 10 minutes. After testing different settings and nozzles, its battery has dropped only one bar.

Interestingly, I’m using an older, non-official DeWalt battery with a lower capacity.

If you are using a fresh DeWalt battery, you could continuously use it for 30-40 minutes before recharging.
