We test 11 Handheld Leaf Blowers - Which One Would You Choose?

[@strummer6642]

Can confirm the Makita (2x18v version) is an absolute beast. Any chance of a leaf vacuum test?

[@katrinrahe4843]

Y’all should know my three year old son over here in North Carolina watches your videos at least once a day 😂 he loves blowers and your videos are his favorite

[@joshuabush2569]

Blowers are definitely the weakest link when it comes battery tools because they really do drain batteries fast... but they are really nice and convenient to use. I love my Ego blower but still use my trusty Husqvarna 525BX for the run time.

[@MachineryNation]

100% Joshua

[@Kieran_Richardson]

I’d take the stihl any day! When it comes to longevity and long periods of use it takes the win

[@daviddimbleby6725]

Been using the milwaukee electric , works well , not mine a company one , do you think the petrol or battery with the stihl , I have milwaukee drills so battery wise I'm thinking milwaukee

[@JayRockGroundsMaintenance]

Great video mate! Great seeing a head to head in such a different way! Heard nothing but good things about that EGO blower 💪🏽🔋

[@apopeidumitru4758]

If you are putting to the test some tool's, just use the same person on each test. I saw that one of you guys is better at using the blowers. So this has a heavy impact on the time. No hard feelings guys. Keep up the good work

[@MachineryNation]

We completely agree (says the guy who is better at using blowers)

[@jak493]

I know the electric is quiet but I actually find the higher pitch just as loud to my ears. I like the ideas of battery blowers but with some batteries costing in excess of £250 each and needing 2 or 3 to cover as large garden, thats a massive investment. Great for a 15 min clean up but ‘range anxiety’ worries me.

[@0j0nn]

I bought the stihl bg 86 and was disapointed, the makita 2x18v seems to be a tad stronger.

[@thomasambridge9707]

I would be interested in a review of the Yard Force LB G18 GR40v supposedly it has a maximum 230km/h air speed and 550cfm air displacement. Seems a lot for the price but can’t find any reviews for it.

[@stuartandrews4344]

Bosch Cordless Blower GBL 18V-750 Professional & Bosch GBL 18 V-120 18V Cordless Blower are another two to add to your next test list.

[@lindywheeler4192]

How come you didn't include the Ryobi? They're products are very popular at Homedepot. Did it not rate at all?

[@Saxondog]

Shame you didn't test the Stihl BGA86. The 57 is solely for domestic use with one speed. That Ego's got some oomph though, can't take that away from it.

[@ItsJippio]

Yes I also want to see the BGA 86 tested! The AP range is much better than AK

[@WildlifeClips365]

Hi Guys, have been using my husqvarna petrol vac for leaves a lot recently and wondering if you will be doing a comparison with the husky, Stihl and other battery vacuums any time would be good to see which one does best.

[@BronzeLincolns81]

Some of the times for the blower speed test may have come down to the operator.

[@MachineryNation]

Most probable but hopefully it gave a good idea 👍🏼

[@Premier_lawns_official]

As ever, fab! We need a backpack blower test

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you. We done a backpack comparison the other week, but we need to do the ball test on them to check their distance. As this is the most important 😂

[@Premier_lawns_official]

@@MachineryNation I will have to look that up

[@daviddimbleby6725]

Cheers lads , blower is the next tool on the list , watched this in the bath with a beer , 🍺 some great gags thrown in too , subscribed 😀 👍

[@t4N9410oR]

Should have had the Makita 18V blowers DUB362 and DUB187 to go up against the Makita 40V UB001G. Also, why no Ryobi in this shootout, or should that be blowout?

[@WayneCarolan]

I’ve got a small EGO but it’s seriously impressive

[@MachineryNation]

Never a good trait for someone to have a big ego… 😂😂

[@msblawnmowinglandscapingan1660]

this video i think the stihl bg 86 for gas and ego lb 7650 battery would be the best ones for new buyers.

[@elgrosdude7]

Did you use all the same battery (i mean Volt/Ah) for your electric blowers?

[@MachineryNation]

No it wasn’t possible in this test. Rather than comparing against each other, this was showing which each blower could do with the recommended battery 👍🏼

[@tgsgardenmaintenance4627]

You were missing what is in my opinion the best hand held blower on the market. The Husqvarna 525BX! I also have the Stihl SH86C-E, but the Husky is in a different league! Have to say though, that for the money, the Makita MM4 is hard to beat.

[@MachineryNation]

Yeah we are working on more Husqvarna products 👍🏼

[@genemetz1945]

Why do you avoid testing and comparing the KOBALT 80-volt Leaf Blower? - There is a video of someone using the Kobalt 80-volt blower as the power supply for an RC glider that flew well.

[@marklobbett455]

What about the Husky 125bvx blower?? Mines about 12years old- loads of hours on it & ive only replaced the carb -a chinese carb for about £8!! & it works fine!! A very good comparison!- they all seemed ok-& good? Down to price & weight & if you're a pro or home user maybe- id go for the bg 86 i think? Many thanks👍

[@MachineryNation]

Thank you Mark. It would of been nice to have had a Husqvarna in the test 👍🏼

[@ThatsMyLifeinSouthItaly]

I think you must try also.the Cifarelli Ewind. Amazing

[@legotechniccreationsbygisu7487]

Please test the parkside blower I have one and it’s cheap but incredibly powerful, so impressive

[@bcc7777]

But I want to blow the leaves out of my mulch? 🤔 Will one of these work?

Poor Josh, he'll be blower shy from now on. I'm sorry Josh but I busted out laughing when James played Cricket with your buddies. 🤣😲 Nice test guys, keep'm coming. 👍

[@garrettnelson1642]

Another great video! Just picked up a STIHL BG 56, great little blower. Hoping to see a video on the Milwaukee dual battery blower when you get a hold of it! Cheers!

[@MachineryNation]

Thanks Garrett, yes we are looking forward to testing the dual battery blower 🤩

[@cutcrewltd]

Another great video! Keep up the good work. I have a pet hate of handheld blowers on site; I’d much prefer the lads to use a back pack, however amazing to see each handheld in all its glory!

That Ego.... stick some wings on it and fly it 🚀🛸✈️

[@MachineryNation]

Harry Potters new broom 😂😂

[@minit55]

You should really have agreed about how to do the test... the mulch blow away was done so many different ways, where half of them blew mulch back towards you and others you blow it the correct way from the start... It could have beendone way better

[@jameswyeth8223]

Great video, I'd love to see you test the Honda and Makita and any other 4 stroke handhelds compared to 2 stroke 👍or any reviews on any of the Honda 4 stoke kit.

[@MachineryNation]

The Honda is a very heavy machine compared to anything else out here and Makita have stopped production of petrol powered equipment. Stihl and Husqvarna make good petrol blowers with good power to weight ratios. Hope that helps.

[@jameswyeth8223]

@MachineryNation Thanks got a BG 86 this summer which is good, after years with Echo but got sick of replacing ignition coils on them. The only reason is most days I come home with the taste of 2 stroke oil my mouth 😖 but 4 stroke obviously cleaner and quieter 👍

[@MachineryNation]

@ try running on Aspen mate, I know it’s quite dear but will help the smell for sure!

[@jameswyeth8223]

@@MachineryNation Thanks I think Stihl do a similar thing, I use the HP super I might get some HP ultra and see if that stinks 😄 tbh Aspen is to dear for trade super.unleaded is bad enough. I do like the look of Honda garden equipment though, the quality looks superb in the dealers 👍

[@DJC995]

Sure, power is one thing, but LONGEVITY is always "the" most important factor. Regardless of how strong a blower is, if it only lasts a season or two, then I don't want it!
