Cordless leaf blowers propel air out of a nozzle to quickly and easily blow away leaves and debris. Whether you’re clearing pathways, landscaping, or carrying out general maintenance, a battery or petrol-powered leaf blower can make the job easier, faster, and more efficient. When a rake simply won’t cut it, cordless leaf blowers are powerful and handy tools to have around. And with so many models available from top brands like Makita and DeWalt, you’re sure to find the ideal one to suit your needs.
When clearing leaves from the driveway or keeping paths free from dust and debris, it’s important to be able to move freely. With traditional electric leaf blowers, you’re limited by the maximum length of their power cord. Cordless leaf blowers, on the other hand, let you clear large spaces without the restriction of an electric cable. Their cordless nature also makes them easy to manoeuvre around hedges, trees, and other outdoor features.
Both battery-powered and petrol leaf blowers are cable-free, but which is best for you? The decision between the two really comes down to your needs and preferences. Power: Petrol leaf blowers can be an excellent choice for clearing heavy, wet leaves as they often have a bit more power behind them. Weight: However, petrol leaf blowers are often heavier than battery-powered models, so prolonged use on big jobs could lead to some element of discomfort. Noise: Lightweight battery leaf blowers produce less noise, providing a more comfortable experience, too. Models like the MAKITA DUB185Z 18v Blower have multiple volume settings and a sound power level as low as 94 decibels (dB). Environmental impact: If you want a more eco-friendly option, battery leaf blowers are your best bet as petrol is a fossil fuel, and it releases unpleasant fumes. Charge level: If you’ve got a task coming up that requires using your cordless leaf blower for a prolonged time, petrol-powered models may last longer. However, with battery life improving year-on-year, many battery-powered leaf blowers can last around 40 minutes on a single charge. You can also keep a spare battery to hand so you can continue your leaf-blowing with no interruption.
Looking for a multitasking tool perfect for clearing any garden, park or outdoor space? A cordless leaf blower vacuum (also known as a garden vac) can also vacuum up garden debris. These gadgets shred and mulch the garden waste they collect, so you can easily recycle or compost it.
While corded leaf blowers are helpful for smaller terraces and gardens, a battery leaf blower provides cable-free convenience that’s perfect for larger gardening and landscaping jobs. Explore our range of cordless leaf blowers along with pressure washers, electric lawnmowers and chainsaws to keep every outside space looking neat and tidy all year round.
In general, leaf blowers with electric cables have more power than cordless leaf blowers. However, cordless models offer more freedom and manoeuvrability.
This depends on the leaf blower you choose. Some battery-powered devices can last an hour or more on a single charge (when in eco mode). Others are more suitable for shorter jobs.
Our cordless leaf blower batteries are rechargeable, and they usually take around an hour to charge fully. These batteries will also fit other items in the range, so you can save money by buying body-only versions of your power tools.
