Which Leaf Blower: Choosing a Leaf Blower

Which leaf blower – Using Leaf Blower/Vacuums
Leaf blowers/vacuums are primarily designed to collect leaves either by blowing them into an area to easily manage or by sucking them up into bags.

Leaf blowers can be a vital part of your garden machinery arsenal. They can save you a lot of time and effort; they allow you to essentially replace your rake and/or broom.

Types of Leaf Blowers/Vacuums
There are five different types of leaf blowers/vacuums; which leaf blower you choose really depends on the intended application.

Petrol Handheld Leaf Blowers
Which leaf blower to choose? The most popular type of leaf blowers are the handheld petrol types. These offer the portability, cordless freedom to manoeuvre across larger lawns and around trees and flowerbeds.

Petrol blowers are usually 2-stroke which requires you to mix the fuel with oil yourself; there is one exception however… The Honda HHB25E leaf blower, it’s a 4-stroke model, which means there’s no fuel mixing required and a quieter running engine.

Electric Handheld Leaf Blowers
If you have a smaller area to clear, electric may the best option for you. These tend to be the best option if you live in a residential area due to a substantial difference in noise and air pollution.

Generally electricity is a cheaper solution fuel-wise and it tends to be less expensive to buy an electric powered model.

Backpack Leaf Blowers
If you are either a professional user or a domestic user with a large area to clear, a backpack blower would be your best option. They tend to be more powerful and will perform better for longer periods of time. However, the main reason for purchasing a backpack blower is they reduce back and shoulder pain cause by long periods of use.

Wheeled Leaf Vacuums
If you have a large area to clear and hand held/backpack blowers are simply not an option for you; we’d recommend a wheeled blower.

As improvements to backpack blowers narrowed the performance gap to their wheeled cousins, manufacturers of wheel blowers did little to improve performance and operation of their products. That’s all now changed. Conceived through market research and hours of exhaustive computer optimization, the Billy Goat wheeled blowers represent a truly revolutionary design. Steel had to go—it is too heavy. Plastic is in—it’s light and it’s plenty durable.
