Leaf Blowers buyer's guide - garden use
All hand-held garden leaf blowers consist
of a small petrol-powered engine (usually two-stroke) or
electric motor connected to a plastic fan that pulls in
outside air and forces it through a small-diameter tube
at high velocities. This velocity is measured two ways:
in cubic feet per minute (cfm) and miles per hour (mph).
Cfms can be measured at different points resulting in different
numbers. (In the listing of various garden leaf blowers
below, the cfms are measured conservatively in the
"pipe," "tube," or "blow-mode.")
On some leaf
blowers fans are side-mounted, but on most newer
models they are bottom-mounted, a design feature that
makes for an easier-handling machine because there's no
twisting action caused by the spinning fan.
Manufacturers of
garden
leaf blowers are highly competitive. For
most tasks, a 150-mph air velocity will serve your needs
in the garden. Except for comparison purposes, this measure
is meaningless by itself. A leaf blowers nozzle
opening could be reduced to the size of a straw and conceivably
blow at 275 mph--good for cleaning out a computer keyboard,
but because of the high pressure, it would perform poorly
for blowing garden leaves.
What is more significant
is how much air the unit is moving, in cubic feet per
minute. A leaf blower capable of 250 cfm
or more (in the "pipe" or blow mode) is a powerful leaf
blower , and very capable for garden use.
A reduction ratio
of garden leaves to mulch of at least 10:1 is respectable,
but you'll probably need to use the leaf blower
in the vacuum mode and see for yourself if the amount
of reduction suits your needs. Remember, most of these
leaf blower units are designed to mulch
only leaves and grass, not small twigs, branches and other
garden debris.
