As soon as all the trees lose their leaves in autumn, it is very tedious to remove them from your garden or from the curb. With a leaf blower, you can quickly and easily remove every annoying leaf from your property. Besides, it’s a lot of fun to work with a leaf blower.
To find out whether an electric, cordless, or gasoline leaf blower is right for you, see our checklist. In our product recommendations you can look at different leaf blowers and choose a leaf blower according to your ideas.
- The only leaf blower with unlimited run time, because it works with cable. This makes it less flexible, but quiet. Suitable for small or medium gardens up to 1000 m².
- Weight: 3 – 4 kilos is normal. If it is heavier, a carrying aid should be integrated, common are rollers or belt. Mobile models are similar to a lawn mower in handling.
- A maximum power of 3000 W is very good.
- Cordless and quiet: Just over 70 decibels is very good. For occasional use on smaller areas. Normal is a manual operation, so the leaf blower should not be so heavy. Good total weight is 3 kg with battery.
- Capacity: 1.5 Ah is low performance. Better is at least 5 Ah.
- Good models with 36 volts should achieve up to an hour of runtime, depending on the speed.
- A fast charger can greatly reduce the standard charging time, for example, with 5 Ah from more than 3 hours to 1 hour.
