FAQ
A leaf blower is powered by an engine that sits inside the leaf blower, and it drives in air which is then carried out through the nozzle of the leaf blower at a high pressure. This allows you to move leaves from the lawn or driveway.
Usually, gasoline-powered leaf blowers have a two-stroke engine, which means you should choose oil-mixed fuel. Many recommend alkylate gasoline. However, you should read the manual for your particular model to see what kind applies to your particular leaf blower.
The price of leaf blowers varies depending on the power source, engine strength and size. You will find simpler models for around 30–40 £. If you are going to have a slightly more powerful model, you will have to pay a bit more. Powerful fuel-driven models are around 250 £.
Which leaf blower is the best depends on how you intend to use it. Fuel-driven leaf blowers are often the most powerful, which is great if you are going to blow large amounts of leaves or wet leaves. Battery-powered models are more environmentally friendly and available in different performance classes, where the simplest ones can mainly withstand small amounts of dry leaves while the very strongest can also blow wet leaves. For example, if you are going to have the leaf blower to clean the decking or blow clean the garage driveway, these ones will be good enough.
