Where these two differ
Two handheld blowers rated within a few CFM of each other. The EGO LB7654 is a 765 CFM kit blower with a 5 Ah pack on the broadest battery yard platform. The DeWalt DCBL777B is a FlexVolt 60V bare blower rated about 760 CFM on the packs that run DeWalt chainsaws and mowers. Airflow ties; batteries and platform decide.
This comparison is based on the published specifications and manuals for both blowers and on recurring owner feedback. We have not run either blower ourselves.
| Specification | LB7654 | DCBL777B |
|---|---|---|
| Airflow | 765 CFM | About 760 CFM |
| Air speed | 200 MPH | Per DeWalt |
| Battery | 56V, 5 Ah in kit | FlexVolt 60V, bare |
| Turbo | Yes | Variable with lock-on |
| Platform | EGO 56V | DeWalt FlexVolt |
| Sold as | Kit | Bare |
Moving leaves
Both clear wet matted leaves, gravel beds and the fence-line pile in one pass. The EGO turbo button gives a burst for stuck leaves; the DeWalt lock-on trigger holds full power down a driveway.
Weight and handling
Both are heavy handhelds with big packs and both tire an arm after an hour. Balance is good on both.
Batteries and runtime
The EGO 5 Ah pack lasts a normal yard on medium. A FlexVolt 9 Ah pack on the DeWalt lasts longer and costs more. The EGO kit arrives ready; the DeWalt assumes FlexVolt packs in the shed.
Platform
EGO 56V runs the broadest battery yard range sold. FlexVolt runs DeWalt chainsaws, mowers, big saws and this blower, and FlexVolt packs also run every 20V tool. For a DeWalt household the blower adds no new battery system.
Yard jobs this decides
Starting fresh for a yard: the EGO. A shed with FlexVolt packs: the DeWalt. The leaves do not separate them.
Warranty and support
On the EGO Power+, EGO covers tools with a five-year limited warranty and packs with three years. On the DeWalt DCBL777B, DeWalt covers it with a three-year limited warranty, one year of free service and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Both makers run service networks in the US and both honor the warranty only with proof of purchase, so keep the receipt with the manual. Registration takes a few minutes online and is worth doing the day the tool arrives.
Care and storage
Both are brushless battery tools and both last longest with the same habits: hose or brush debris off after each use, store packs indoors at partial charge through the winter rather than empty or full, and keep the machine out of direct sun in a shed. Neither needs oil changes, spark plugs or fuel stabilizer. A pack left at zero through a cold winter is the most common cause of a dead tool in spring on either platform.
Common owner complaints
EGO owners mention weight and turbo runtime. DeWalt owners mention pack cost and availability. Both are reliable.
Which one should you buy
Buy the LB7654 for a yard platform and a kit pack. Buy the DCBL777B if FlexVolt packs are already in the shed.
Our verdict
The EGO LB7654 takes this comparison on kit value and platform. The DeWalt DCBL777B is the right buy for a FlexVolt household.

Our verdict
Nearly identical airflow on paper. The EGO arrives with a pack and belongs to the broadest yard platform; the DeWalt runs on the FlexVolt packs a DeWalt household already owns for saws and mowers. Starting fresh, the EGO. On FlexVolt, the DeWalt.
FAQs
Equal on paper; both move wet leaves in one pass.
No; it needs a FlexVolt 60V pack.
Close; both are heavy handhelds with big packs.
Depends on the pack; a FlexVolt 9 Ah on the DeWalt outlasts the EGO 5 Ah.
