Motor

Obviously each of these categories has its pros and cons, for example the internal combustion engine needs gasoline to work but achieves performance that the battery does not even remotely reach, while, obviously, those with the cable need an electric plug to always have. handy. Our advice is therefore to better evaluate the area where you are going to use your blower, so as to make the best choice.
Sack

But be careful to choose a bag not too large, in fact there are also 250 liter solutions that could complicate even just moving around in the garden.

It goes without saying that it is an essential feature, especially in the presence of large devices and very spacious green areas on which to operate.
Weight

If the area on which you will have to constantly intervene is very large and requires a lot of work time, the harness is the most suitable choice, while for situations with a few minutes of use even a simple double handle can be for you. >
