Here we present you our most recommended gas powered leaf blowers, with ratings, prices and reviews:
Handheld
Handheld units are easier to use and control and therefore suitable even for lighter tasks and cleanup. On the other hand, after a longer work session you’ll really start to feel their weight.
Best handheld: Powerful but also compact and easy to use – suitable not only for harder blowing tasks but for cleanup as well.
A bit more powerful: Quality leaf blower – not too large or heavy, starts easily, offers a good power and the speed lock function.
Backpack
Backpack blowers are more expensive but also offer the most power – and the comfortable harness allows even a few hours of work without any fatigue.
Best backpack blower: It offers excellent power, a speed lock function and it’s comfortable to wear even for longer sessions.
Top power: Extra-powerful, 4-stroke machine – it’s easy to start, offers a speed lock function, only it’s a bit more pricey.
