Fewer people are cleaning lawns of leaves and debris with a rake. This work can be done more comfortably and faster with the help of blowers. The devices have a wide range of applications, they effectively remove snow, dry premises after construction work, help clean computer equipment, etc. Many foreign companies offer their products on the domestic market. The recommendations of our experts will help you find the device that is optimal in terms of technical parameters and price.

Selection recommendations

Appointment. Start your search for a blower from the destination. First of all, it is necessary to assess the size of the treated area, determine the type of pollution and the frequency of cleaning, and also take a sober look at your physical data.

1. A light and compact blower at an affordable price is enough for cleaning the summer cottage and personal plot.
2. Professionals need powerful technology that delivers high performance and reliability.
3. Functionality. Blowers can have several modes of operation.
4. Some models are equipped with a blow-off function only. With this technique it is convenient to maintain the lawn, sidewalks or car parks.
5. The suction option allows you to collect debris. Such models are equipped with waste bins.
6. In the garden, chopping up the remnants of vegetation and thin branches will be useful.

Energy source. Modern blowers are driven by two types of motors.

1. Electric models combine environmental friendliness and quiet operation. Some devices are powered by mains electricity, while others are powered by batteries.
2. Gasoline engines are mounted on powerful professional blowers. They are distinguished by high power, autonomy and versatility. But the price of such equipment is quite high, and the power unit requires periodic maintenance.

Transportation method. Depending on the weight of the equipment and design features, two transportation options are used.

1. It is convenient to carry by hand only light blowers (up to 5 kg). To prevent the device from slipping out of the hand, the handle is equipped with a rubberized insert.
2. Heavy models are equipped with special straps that allow the equipment to be worn on the shoulders. The knapsack transport method evenly distributes not only the mass of the tool, but also the vibration load.

Equipment. When buying a blower, you should pay attention to the equipment of the device. Otherwise, additional financial investments may be required in the near future.

1. Cordless blowers are often sold without a battery and charger. The fact is that manufacturers are going to unify the power systems for their garden electrical appliances. You can take the battery from another tool with the same voltage and capacity.
2. For some types of work, additional devices may be required. These are replaceable nozzles or special rakes.
3. A dustbin is not always supplied on models with a vacuum cleaner function. Without a bag, the suction option is meaningless.

We've handpicked 12 of the best blowers for our roundup. All of them are sold in the Russian trade network. When allocating seats, the editorial board of the magazine relied on the opinion of experts, taking into account the reviews of domestic users.
