Product Information

minutes may not seem like much if you have a large garden, but that’s double what you’d get from some other brands. Even better, this was the quietest of all the leaf blowers I tested – it’s ideal for those of you with nearby neighbours, sleeping babies, or just a sensitivity to loud noise! Lighting Sofa In A Box Bathroom Lights Mirrors Carpets Outdoor Lighting Radiator Covers Fireplaces & Stoves Through our testing, we discovered that the best cordless leaf blowers will achieve a run time of approximately 20 minutes when fitted with a 2.0 Ah battery. Look out for these, particularly if you have a larger garden. Many leaf blowers only achieve half this time, with the same size battery fitted. In terms of power, this Bosch leaf blower sits above much of its competitors. With a blow-speed range of 170 – 250 km/h , it’s the most powerful of all the cordless leaf blowers I tested. Its 2.0 Ah battery offered the longest blow time too.

Unfortunately, the positioning of the trigger was a little annoying – if you try holding the blower by its handle and carrying it around the garden, you’ll likely end up accidentally hitting the trigger several times. Although not a huge deal, this did end up wasting a fair bit of precious battery. One of the key benefits of cordless leaf blowers is that they are a lot quieter than petrol powered models. The Bosch ALB 18 LI Cordless Leaf Blower is the quietest of my recommendations, making it a great option if you’ve got neighbours nearby or just want to keep the noise down. In terms of volume, this leaf blower emits 92.6 dB. It therefore sits at the quieter end of the market, though it’s by no means the quietest leaf blower featured here. Power: Airflow speed is one of the most important features when it comes to power. We marked any leaf blowers down that had less than 250 km/h airflow speed, as this isn’t sufficient for wetter leaves and detritus, reducing the versatility of the blower. Blowers that had the right balance of power and noise levels (of 90 dB or lower) were given the highest marks, as these were less likely to cause a headache to users and their neighbours! This leaf blower comes with a battery and charger included. The battery can be used for a variety of gardening and DIY tools from Bosch, so it’s a useful choice for gardeners with lots of Bosch tools already. The battery run time is a reasonable 17 minutes, which should be enough for most small domestic tasks.Run time is one of the most important aspects to consider when buying a cordless leaf blower. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can take 1 – 2 hours to recharge, so you’ll probably want to try to get all your leaf blowing done in one go.

It’s a little noisier at its maximum settings than some leaf blowers, measuring just under 90dB for noise, and it’s also a little heavier – although the well-balanced design and ergonomic handle mean you can still comfortably use it single-handed. It works with Bosch’s 36V Power For All batteries rather than the more common 18V variety, and the 4A battery we tested it with lasted for around 25 minutes of tough garden clearance before sputtering out. If you’re not too bothered about vacuuming and mulching, this is the best cordless leaf blower to buy. As you can see, there are quite a few features that set this leaf blower above the rest, which is why the higher price tag is to be expected. If you have a small garden and won’t be using your leaf blower much, then you could probably get away with a cheaper budget model. The positioning of the trigger means that it's difficult to carry the blower by its handle without turning the machine on In my opinion, its price is very fair. Yes, you could pay more for a more powerful, heavier-duty blower, but this would be a waste of money if you only need to clear a light scattering of leaves and debris from a small garden. Comparing run time and great value, it ones of the best leaf blowers on a budget.Like a neat lawn and driveway? Tired of raking up mountains of soggy leaves? Well, there’s a new generation of cordless leaf blower that’s going to make your life a whole lot easier. Cordless leaf blowers with one speed setting (particularly if the setting blasts out air at over 175 km/h) will likely have a much shorter run time than a less powerful model when used with the same battery. Let’s start with assembly, which is something that only took about 30 seconds. Even if you’ve never used a leaf blower before, this one is easy to put together – you likely won’t even need the instructions. Put a piece of tarp down on the ground – you can blow the leaves onto this tarp and then bundle it up at the end. This tool has another benefit as it can also be used as a vacuum. The vacuum isn’t quite as effective as the blower, but it can come in handy in certain contexts. Switching between the two functions is simple, requiring no tools.
