Your Backyard Deserves 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.
The noise that gas-powered blower-vacs produce concerns many consumers, so corded blowers are now more powerful than ever. Many of them are surpassing their gas driven “relatives”. Electric blower-vacs are also much lighter. Their biggest drawback is that you can’t walk away too far from the plug socket (maybe 100 feet or so). Some cities have noise restrictions so quietness rules needs to be checked first.
Electric blower motors provide quite of power, they are 50% – 70% quieter than gasoline-powered leaf blowers and produce no pollution into the air. If gardener used electric blower-vac to vacuum up and mulch yard debris, it would prevent almost all the air pollution problems and highly reduce the noise issue.
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. type
The volume is related to how many cubic feet can blower-vac cover per minute. Some of the leaf blowers can easily switch 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.
