The models of powd leaf blow
either electric or gasoline pow
d.
Electric leaf blow
usually l
, c
ainly quie
, and generally less expensive. But they seldom
e the power to equal their gasoline pow
d coun
parts, so it often takes longer to clear the yard. The power rating of the model will be indicated on the unit and/or box, with most blow
ing a rating of 300 to 550 cubic feet of air
minute (CFM). Not unexpectedly, you typically pay more for the h
est rated units.
Some blow will
e the ability to run off a bat
y, but in order to keep the we
t at a reason
e level, they often only
e sufficient power to control a small model. Most
fitted with a c
e. If your garden is
too large, you should
e a
m. But for any larger
ties, or if trees
located far from the power supply, it may be necessary to select a gasoline pow
d unit.
Having a hundred feet or more of extens c
e following behind the blower is
convenient. The c
e typically gets in the way. You may get caught up in it from time to time, and it always seems to
e a knack of lying across the leaves that you want to blow away.
Gasoline powd leaf blow
generally bulkier, but
e the ability to blow much more air. On the flipside, they
cap
e of
ducing much more noise. Anyone that has
iced a
fess
al gardener at work will
b
y
e
iced the sound, a cross between a lawn-mower and a jet aircraft at a distance.
However, the gas powd unit is
e to tackle any sized task you
e, and several can funct
in rev
e. Those will o
ate as a leaf vacuum cleaner, in addit
to simply hurling the leaves to a
her
a. This can be a key considerat
as blowing leaves into the street or onto a ne
ing
ty is often a
ri
al
native.
If all you require is to hurl the leaves into a central a to be picked up, this extra feature may
be necessary. And you'll c
ainly pay more for a unit that has this opt
.
Leaf blow can be l
twe
t at only a few pounds or as heavy as 30lbs, r
ly more. The lat
may
sound like that much, by imagine how your feel af
dragging it around for an hour. It is important to consider the trade off between power vs. we
t.
