Product Information

Even though I wouldn’t turn to the VonHaus if I needed to move large quantities of heavy leaves, I’d still say it actually did a better overall job than some of the higher-end and more powerful models.

Bosch Electric Leaf Blower and Vacuum UniversalGardenTidy

Einhell’s power tools are generally quite affordable, and this blower is no exception. It’s priced much lower than many of its competitors, especially considering a battery and charger come included. If you’re looking for a great all-rounder that’s both easy and comfortable to use, the Greenworks 40V Cordless Leaf Blower and Vacuum is a great choice. This well-designed leaf blower is lightweight, easy to assemble and comes with a shoulder strap that makes it comfortable to use for long periods. Cordless leaf blowers with one speed setting (particularly if the setting blasts out air at over 175 km/h) will likely have a much shorter run time than a less powerful model when used with the same battery. One thing to note about this leaf blower is that it can feel quite heavy with both 4Ah batteries in place. There’s no shoulder strap so supporting the machine can get tiring after a while – you may require regular breaks (but that’s just a good excuse to have a cup of tea, right?). To give a general indication (although this is very broadly speaking) a 2 Ah battery may last for around 10 – 15 minutes, whilst a 5 Ah battery could last for approximately 45 minutes.A leaf blower with an air flow speed of approximately 175 km/h will be powerful enough to remove most leaves from hard surfaces, although it may occasionally struggle with very wet leaves. Cordless leaf blowers with this level of airflow are normally more appropriate for clearing dust, dirt and debris from interior spaces. They’ll also work better for removing leaves from gravel without making the gravel go everywhere. For a larger garden you might need a blower with a longer battery life, but if 12 minutes is enough for you then this is a great blower that’s quiet and easy to store – particularly since you can detach the blower tube.

Thanks to the design of the blower head, it’s possible to adjust the amount of air volume that is produced by this leaf blower. This means it works equally as well on large open spaces as it does in smaller areas. There are two speed settings available. It’s reasonably powerful, operating with a maximum airspeed of 209 km/h. Although this is one of the lowest airspeeds featured here, this cordless leaf blower is effective when used for light-duty domestic jobs. Plus, the run time makes it suitable for larger gardens. However, it’s likely to struggle with wet leaves. Even better, at just 1.6 kg , the Ryobi ONE+ Cordless Blower is light enough to be used with just one hand. Its narrow nozzle gives you more control compared to more commonly-found wider nozzles – you’ll end up with a much neater leaf pile by the time you’re done. When it c omes to power tools, Ryobi is a go-to brand for many. They’ve built their reputation on being innovative and reliable, whilst still producing products that are more affordable than many alternatives. I found this to be the case with the other Ryobi tools that I recently tested and reviewed, so I expected the ONE+ Cordless Blower to be just as impressive. Yet, despite its petite specifications, this leaf blower still strikes a good balance between power and manageability. Yes, it’s lightweight and slimline, but it’s not weak as a result. It has a maximum air speed of 209 km/h and is capable of creating a storm amongst dry leaves as well as shifting leaves from awkward spaces.Still, I appreciated how lightweight (1.73 kg) and manoeuvrable this tool was. It could easily be used with one hand, although I tended to keep both hands on the machine to give me better control. It might be small, but don’t underestimate it: this compact, convenient blower gets the job done in style. Many other machines, such as the Bosch and the Einhell, give you multiple speeds to choose from. However, this didn’t impact performance in a negative way – this cordless blower has a 241km/h air speed that is enough to shift both dry and wet leaves, even from long grass, which many of the other leaf blowers struggled with. Is it a still and sunny day? These are optimum conditions – choose a spot where you can gather your leaves and place a piece of tarp down/garden waste bags.
