Cordless leaf blower – best battery powered leaf blowers
In these modern days, leaf blowers are tools every house owner should have around the house. Between them the cordless ones are the most comfortable and easy to use. However, they lack the power of gas or even electric blowers, so are only suited for ligther jobs.
Cordless leaf blowers - light and easy to use by anyone
They do come with some unbeatable advantages other types of leaf blowers cannot offer. We’re going to talk about those, but also about the problems you should expect when using such battery powered devices, in the next rows. And after that, we’ll show you what are at the moment the best options for cordless leaf blowers and where you can get them for the best discounted prices.
First, let’s see why we like these house tools:
- they are very light and easy to use with only one held
- they are pretty quiet and vibrations produced by the electric power are not an inconvenience
- they are battery powered, thus cordless, so you don’t get stuck with a pesky cord bothering you
- they are clean to use, as they runs with electricity, unlike gas powered machines
- they are pretty affordable (although more expensive than electric ones, at least for some versions)
And of course, there are some problems too. First, these machines really lack power. Although there are some exceptions, you can consider these more like leaf sweepers, devices you can use to clear leafs and dust from decks, garage floor and stairs; just don’t take them in the grass, they’ll be powerless there. Gas powered blowers would be the ones to pick for that job.
Also, since they are powered by batteries, they depend on autonomy, which in most cases is between 10 to 30 minutes. So, if you have jobs that should take longer, you’re going to wait for them to recharge. Which, depending on the type of batteries used (NiCad or LiPo), can take hours or tens of minutes.
Now, let’s see what you should pick if you’re looking for such a device. The models listed in here were chosen based on my experience with them (or what I’ve head from friends) or based on reviews and marks published by users on various online sources. So be sure they are some of the best and the most popular in their class.
- Earthwise CB20018 – a compact and cheap electric sweeper, offers enough power for your lawns and decks, but not that much for cleaning leafs and debriefs from the grass; batter only lasts for 30 minutes tops
- Black & Decker NS118 – another cheap cordless sweeper, a bit more compact and with a bit more battery life; scrored great marks and reviews with those who already own it
- Makita BUB182Z – powerful for an electric cordless blower, but also a bit more expensive; comes with 3 years warranty
- LEHR BV025H – an ecological blower/vacuum/mulcher powered by propane, it’s pretty light and can work for about 2 hours with one fuel tank
- WORX Air WG540.5 - powerful for an electric sweeper and proper priced, it’s also very light and charges in only 30 minutes in order to offer around 45 minutes of use on high speed
