The 7 Best Leaf Blowers – Guidebook

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.

Leaf Blower Checklist

Electric Leaf Blower
  • 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.
Battery Leaf Blower
  • 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.
  • Saving tip: If you use even more devices of a company, perhaps the same battery fits for all.
Petrol Leaf Blower
  • Loud at more than 100 decibels, but powerful. But also more expensive. Strong odor development. For the large garden, creates damp leaves and stones.
  • Running time depends on tank size: with 2.2 l tank, it can weigh over 9 kilos . Then a backpack system is advantageous. Handheld leaf blowers should weigh a maximum of 4 – 5 kil os.
Function: Leaf Blower, Leaf Vacuum or Both?
  • Combination devices consisting of a leaf vacuum and a leaf blower are becoming increasingly popular. Make sure that the collection bag has a capacity of at least 40 liters.
Handling
  • For extra tall people: extended tube or handle needed to allow upright working. Telescopic suction tube can be extended!
  • A power boost function provides maximum air output for a short time.
  • If the speed can be changed during operation, you do not have to switch off the device.
Power
  • Directly compare air speed and volume. These determine suction power and blowing speed.
  • An air speed of 330 km/h and an air volume of 470 m³/harepowerful.
