Free Your Backyard From Leaves With A Blower-vac
This time and labor saving machine was introduced in the 70’s to remove leaves, grass mulch and general debris from your driveways, sidewalks and your landscaping, and can even clean gutters and do a bit of light snow removal.
Shortly thereafter manufacturers discovered that many consumers were removing the chemical dispensing parts from the device, leaving only the blower behind. Manufacturers then saw the potential of their invention as a common lawn and garden maintenance tool. They also perform beautifully to remove dead leaves from awkward nooks and crannies (like between closely-planted prickly shrubs). They probably save labor by like a factor of ten. With a flip of a switch the blower can switch to a vacuum to suck up leaves and mulch them. Some electric models also have rechargeable battery packs to avoid the hassle of using an A/C outlet and trailing a cord.
Some electric blower-vacs are cordless that use rechargeable battery. With these models can be avoided a complete hassle of using an A/C outlet and messing with a cord. These machines are unbelievably stable and have enough power to clean wet leaves and thick debris with ease. They’re also ideal for removing lawn refuse from expansive surfaces like parking lots or motorways. Leaf blowers are commonly used among homeowners because they can collect all dead leaves into a big pile for the yard waste bin. Some electric or gas powered blower-vacs can be sometimes uncomfortable.
In response to concerns over the noise of petrol-powered blower vacs, corded electric models are now more powerful than ever, some of them even surpassing their petrol-powered brethren, and with less weight. The biggest drawback to these garden machines is that you’re limited to 100 feet from the plug socket, or the motor can be damaged. While a gas blower is powerful they make quite a lot of noise when compared to the electric powered leaf blowers and vacuums. Some communities have noise restrictions so check quietness claims.
Electric engines provide plenty of power, are 50 – 70% quieter than gas powered leaf blowers and emit no air pollution. If yardmen used electric leaf blowers to vacuum up and mulch yard debris, it would eliminate virtually all the air pollution problems and greatly reduce the issue of noise.
Many newer blower-vac models rates up to 70db at 50ft at full speed. And unlike landscape maintenance workers, who need hearing protection because of long hours exposure to sound coming from a machine near to their ears, homeowners can hear a leaf blower-vac sound for only a coupe of minutes a week, and at greater distances.
Several factors have to be kept in mind while you are looking for a blower-vac:
1. volume (cc)
2. weight
3. class
The volume determines how many cubic feet can blower-vac cover per minute. Some of the leaf blowers can convert to shredders or mulchers, from blowers to vacuums or vice versa.
In any case first try any blower-vac before you purchase it and, while you do your work in the backyard, do wear the recommended safety gear for protection during leaves blowing.
