Product Reviews

Makita XBU02PT1 36V (18V X2) LXT Brushless Blower Kit

Here is one of our favorite brands. Makita has created one of the best models available on the market. If you ever wanted to look the part as an expert garden craftsman, this extremely powerful leaf blower can help you achieve a spotless lawn.

It’s powerful. It’s easy to use and will clear anything up to 20 feet away, making this model ideal for big gardens or huge jobs that require a lot of clearance.

What impressed us the most is how long the battery lasted when not on full blast. After 25 minutes we still had the leaf blower clearing leaves and puddles, which we know can be frustrating for models that require multi charges for one job.

There is an option to add on four 5.0ah batteries which we recommend as unofficial batteries are never as efficient and run out of energy quicker.

Pros: This leaf blower is one of the most powerful models you can get your hands on, at this price range.

Has a decent battery life on the medium setting, and will last from 20 to 30 minutes.

Blows at a decent range and will clear anything in its path at around 20 feet away.

Cons: This model is a little heavier than some of the others in the Makita line, and at 20.5 pounds, can be tricky to maneuver up ladders and across big gardens.

SnapFresh Leaf Blower

We know that a lot of you are not looking for the most powerful leaf blower, and want something suitable for small to moderate areas.

The SnapFresh Leaf Blower is light and nimble, and we couldn’t think of a better option for older folks who just need a lightweight tool for the job.

This features an advanced copper motor and turbo engine tech, and the dual-speed mode quickly switches from indoors to outdoors, changing speeds from 60 mph to 130 mph.

We also appreciated that for such a lightweight model, not much assembly was required. We were up and running within minutes and didn’t need technical support for guidance.

Pros: At only 5.06 pounds, this is a super lightweight option, and this isn’t going to be difficult to hold for long periods.

One battery will take an hour to charge when using the fast charger device.

This won’t take all day to put together, and you’ll be leaf blowing in no time.

Cons: This model is not ideal for large jobs with lots of items to clear, as it’s lower on power than some of the other models we’ve reviewed.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 120 MPH 450 CFM 18-Volt Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless Handheld Blower

This smart-looking designed leaf blower ticks the box for power and is lightweight. It blows up to 120 miles per hour and even has a low-power mode for smaller jobs that don’t require a lot of power.

There weren’t any rude surprises when we tried this one out and found ourselves impressed with the overall design. It wasn’t that complicated to use and overall found it to be effective at clearing dry leaves.

The only thing worth mentioning is the battery life and the fact this doesn’t come with one, so we had to source our own. With this model, make sure you have a rechargeable battery lying around, otherwise, you’ll be in-and-out of jobs.

Pros: Powerful enough for a range of different jobs, and will clear most areas with ease.

For its power, it is surprisingly light and easy to handle, and we didn’t have issues with using this for larger jobs.

Handles blowing speeds of up to 120 miles per hour.

Cons: This model doesn’t come included with a battery, and will require another Milwaukee lithium battery.

EGO Power+ LB6500 650 CFM Variable-Speed 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Leaf Blower

The EGO power+ is a beast, and there’s no better way to describe it. This one is super powerful and can clear 60 cubic feet per minute, and will be more ergogenic than a typical gas-powered leaf blower.

We found this one great for clearing all manner of things, like sand, cut grass, and wet leaves.

You will need to be moderately strong to carry this one around, as it weighs 6.8 pounds, but it’s certainly not one of the heavier leaf blowers on the market.

It’s also a quieter model and sounds more like a hairdryer than an industrial tool for clearing large amounts of debris.

Pros: Super powerful with speeds of up to 180 miles per hour.

Ideal for all manner of clearing objects and jobs sizes like gravel, wet leaves, and cut grass.

This model isn’t overly noisy and will not upset the neighbors.

Cons: Neither the battery nor the charger is included, so if you are looking for all-in-one packages we recommend you look elsewhere.

WORX WG520 12 Amp TURBINE 600 Electric Leaf Blower

The best feature of WORX is how quickly you’ll get the job done. If you’re serious about speed and don’t want to be out in the garden for longer than you have to, this was one of the best for the overall length of time working.

The sleek design is 40 inches long, 11 inches wide, and 9.6 inches tall making it a comfortable option for most body types.

The WORX WG520 uses a jet engine-type motor that offers two different speeds for different jobs.

If using the open law, this 110 mph turbine will clear 600 cubic feet per minute. This one also can be used one-handed and is on the lighter side weighing close to 7.2 pounds.

Pros: Quick, easy, and efficient. Will tear apart the competition with its speed and precision.

The unique jet engine-type motor wasn’t loud.

It’s comfortable to hold and would suit most people.

Cons: Can sometimes find clothing being sucked into the intake so be wary of loose clothing.

Kobalt 40-Volt Lithium Ion (Li-ion) 480-CFM 110-MPH Medium-Duty Baretool Cordless Electric Leaf Blower

This blower works great as it’s lightweight and easy to use, and you’ll be surprised how far the 40-volt battery will go.

We think this model would be ideal for smaller properties that don’t need a heavy-duty model, with a combination of indoor and outdoor jobs.

One unique feature was the cruise control option when we wanted to go for longer stretches, or had a lot of ground to cover.

The one downside is this model doesn’t appear to come with an extended warranty option, in case of wear and tear or human error on part of the owner.

Pros: Lightweight and easy to use.

Ideal for smaller properties and would be perfect for indoor and outdoor cleaning.

Variable speed trigger and cruise control features are a great addition that allows for bespoke blowing.

Cons: Doesn’t appear to have an extended warranty, which is worth considering if you do not want to take the risk.

EGO Power+ LB6504 650 CFM Variable-Speed 56-Volt Lithium-ion Cordless Leaf Blower

This is the second-time EGO Power+ feature on our list and for good reason because the blowing time on the LB6504 was magnificent.

You could easily get out 30 minutes of uninterrupted leaf blowing. Although it doesn’t have the same power as some of the other EGO Power+ models, it still held its own when clearing tough-to-move items such as wet, matte leaves.

The downside is that it’s almost twice as heavy as some of the other models, coming in at 12.9 pounds.

However, this is outweighed (no pun intended) by the decent power, ease of use, and portability. The LB6504 would be a smart choice for anyone looking for the best all-round option.

Pros: Has one of the fastest blowing times and is ideal for speedy jobs.

The battery life is pretty decent and on lower settings can last up to an hour.

Starts at the press of a button, and doesn’t make a lot of noise when compared to other leaf blowers at this price range.

Cons: If you enjoy leaf blowing with one hand, this unit is going to get heavy quite quickly.

RYOBI ONE+ 100 MPH 280 CFM Variable-Speed 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Jet Fan Leaf Blower

Here’s an exceptional entry-level leaf blower that would be perfect for someone that wants to try out the ease of use of a cordless leaf blower.

What it lacks in run-time is more than made up for with its 100 miles per hour speed and 280 cubic feet per minute air-flow capacity. At only 6 pounds, it’s a modest model that we recommend for simple leaf blowing jobs.

The best feature of the Ryobi ONE+ is it’s not that loud at all, and the adjustable handle allows for more effective leaf blowing depending on the ergonomics of the individual.

Plus it comes included with a battery and charger for those looking to reduce the hassle of multi-buying.

Pros: Does a great job of
