Top 5 Powerful Cordless Leaf Blowers

Although it’s still technically summer, before long the temperatures will cool down and the leaves will start to fall. It’ll be time to move those pesky fall leaves from your lawns and garden in no time. With that in mind, here’s some helpful information from reviews on Yard Care Gurus to help you choose the best cordless leaf blower for your needs.

Top 5 Powerful Cordless Leaf Blowers

Some important things to keep in mind when choosing a good cordless leaf blower are:

  1. You usually get what you pay for.

There are cheaper models and expensive models of cordless leaf blowers. Some of the more expensive leaf blowers can take a bigger bite out of your wallet, but they offer more conveniences, such as lightweight designs, lower recharge times and are generally quieter models. Cheaper models may be fine for your yard but may cost more in the long run in terms of replacement parts and repair.

  1. Do your homework.

Read reviews on Popular Mechanics, Consumer Reports and other websites. Ask your friends and neighbors if they have cordless leaf blowers, and check the different models out for yourself at your local hardware store or home improvement store. Don’t just buy the first cordless leaf blower that you see!

  1. Look at battery run time.

Most models offer runtimes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes before needing to be recharged. Run times or Overall Production Efficiency (OPE for short) will vary depending on manufacturer and use. Also, check on the type of rechargeable battery the model you are interested in uses, and consider on also buying a spare battery or two as a backup.

Here are some of the best reviewed cordless leaf blowers:

WORX WG575 32 Volt Multipurpose Blower/Sweeper/Cleaner has been recommended for modest lawn cleanup jobs. It offers a nice variety of accessories and is one of the quieter, more efficient models on the market today. It is not recommended for large jobs, however, and be careful when removing the battery for recharging, as it can sometimes be difficult to remove from both the machine and its battery charger.

DEWALT DCBL720P1 20V MAX 5.0 Ah Lithium Ion XR Brushless Blower has great options for different uses in your yard and garden, such as a variable speed trigger and speed lock. Its axial fan provides maximum air output for the money. Just keep in mind that operating this machine on higher settings will drain the rechargeable battery faster.

GreenWorks Pro GBL80320 Cordless Blower offers up to 70 minutes of use before needing to be recharged. Recharging only takes a half hour, so you’re ready to go in no time! It works well at blowing away both wet and dry leaves with power.

The BLACK & DECKER LSW36 40V Lithium Ion Cordless Sweeper is a very intuitive machine. It’s easy to use and operate, and is one of the quieter cordless battery powered leaf blowers available. While not as powerful as other models, it generally does a good job of accomplishing your leaf cleaning tasks.

Greenworks 24322 40V Variable Speed Cordless Blower Vacuum is a great multifunction blower that works with over a dozen different lawn tools. Its brushless motor does a great job of cleaning leaves and debris. Just take the time to clear any mud or wet leaves from time to time, and this model will last for years.

These are just a few of the many cordless leaf blower options available on the market today. Most leaf blowers range anywhere from about $75 to $200 or more, depending on the make, model, and optional accessories that are available.

You may also want to check on manufacturer warranties, especially if you have a large lawn or yard that needs regular fall maintenance or if you just plan sticking with a reliable model for a long time.
