Product Information

These aren’t the only practical considerations. Is the blower easy to start and use? How easy is it to store? If it’s a vacuum or convertible, how easy is it to empty the bag or collector? Some models have collapsible tubes and detachable nozzles, which can help if you’re short on shed space, but be warned that these can be a nightmare to get on and off. Built for leaf blowing, dust cleaning, pet hair cleaning and snow clearing, this is one of the most versatile leaf blowers on the market. Unlike others, it doesn’t offer a vacuum function, but there are several features that give it versatility. Turns out, the best cordless leaf blowers come in handy for loads of different jobs – not just clearing leaves (although they’re great at that too!). They’re a useful tool to have in the shed, and the fact that they don’t have any cables makes them easy to grab at any time.

Look at the air flow speed cited by the manufacturer in the leaf blower’s specifications. Also, consider what jobs you will want to use the leaf blower for. Choosing the best leaf blower will depend on what you want to use it for and what tools you already own. The following information should help you work out what to look out for (as well as what to avoid!). The Benefits of Using a Cordless Leaf BlowerLarger batteries are heavier and will make the whole leaf blower weigh more; this is something to bear in mind if you’re particularly interested in having as light a machine as possible. 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. 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. 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.
