What features should I look for in a cordless leaf blower?
When shopping for a cordless leaf blower, a few key features make a big difference in how quickly and comfortably you can complete your task.
Air speed determines how fast air is moving out of the blower and is measured in miles per hour.
Air volume describes the amount of air pushed out by the blower and is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The higher the CFM, the more powerful the machine.
Battery life matters. Look for a blower with a battery that has a long runtime or buy a backup battery to avoid charging delays.
If a machine is too heavy, you won’t enjoy using it. Most battery leaf blowers weigh around 5-10 lb. Make sure to check the weight of the machine with and without the battery in place to make sure that it’s comfortable for you.
Are rechargeable leaf blowers any good?
A cordless leaf blower is a convenient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective way to keep your outdoor space free from leaves and debris. In comparison to gas and electric models, battery leaf blowers are much easier to use because you’re no longer limited by a cord or access to an electrical outlet. They are also generally quieter, which can be a major advantage if you have neighbours or live in a noise-restricted area.
