Product Information

As everyone knows, there is no such thing as a perfect product or tool and of course, cordless leaf blowers have their own quirks that you’ll have to get used to. In the following section will take a look at some of the things that can be problematic with cordless leaf blowers. Example of using a cordless leaf blower minutes runtime might not sound a lot, but actually, for most people, it would be long enough to get most jobs done, and if powered by a 4Ah battery, you should have no issues at all. We tested a 4Ah to see how it would take to charge from completely flat, and it was fully loaded and ready to go in about 2 hours, which isn’t bad at all.

Again I hate the variable blower power function. If I wanted a weaker blower I’d get the smaller unit that is lighter and more comfy in the hand. This thing needs to be turned up full to be max effective. and talking of comfortable. You definitely want the should strap vs the smaller models as this is nothing like them in terms of ease of carry and use – it is far more robust and awkward. Actually, the power of the Worx leafjet surprised me considering just how lightweight the tool is. I’ve used this Brands other leaf blower vacuum tool, the WG505E, and that was not what I would call heavy, but the Leafjet is light as a feather in comparison. The leaf blower utilises a fan, this causes the blades to spin rapidly and produces centrifugal force.Having no power cord makes these tools much more agile, manoeuvrable, and some would say safer, as there is no chance of tripping over any power cable. They also give you more range if you compare them to corded electric leaf blowers, and there’s no need to use a cable reel to work at the bottom of a large garden.

Although cordless leaf blowers are designed to be lightweight, they can still feel a little heavy after using them for a while, especially if you have a larger batter installed. For most people, it won’t be anything that bothers them too much, but if you are elderly, injured, disabled, etc. using a shoulder strap would be a good idea.It’s well balanced on the shoulder strap and easy to swing around rounding up leaves. It’s a shame the zip-up bag lets it down because there’s nothing else to complain about in terms of use. I will always point out if my recommended tool needs a battery and charger separately. They are almost always the larger expense unless it’s a seriously heavy duty leaf blower. The reason being, that the lithium ion batteries that power these kinds of tools are not exactly what you’d call cheap and it’d rare to find a good one with charger for under a hundred pounds though the Einhell impresses me. Weight is another factor to think about. A heavy vacuum of around 5 kg can get heavy after a prolonged period. Make sure the blower has wheels, or some form of harness, to help manage the weight. Not as far as I know, and I would be very surprised to hear that there is one available. Deciding whether or not to go with a cordless leaf blower usually comes down to not wanting to deal with the noise and smells that come with petrol tools, and also for the reduction in weight. There is also the fact that they are better for the environment and easer to use, unfortunately, a shorter running time is just part of the deal.
