CHOICE Expert Rating (%)
Expand to view more details.
This overall score is made up of performance (65%) and ease of use (35%). |

|
Performance score (%)
Expand to view more details.
We test with dry leaves and small twigs in a 20 square metre area. We time how long it takes to blow all the leaves into a pile, and for models with a vacuum function, how long it then takes to convert from blower to vacuum mode and vacuum up the pile of leaves. The fastest blowers clear the area of leaves in under 4 minutes. If a model runs out of power before cleaning the whole area its score is penalised accordingly. |
||||||||||||
|
Ease of use score (%)
Expand to view more details.
We check how easy each model is to use. This includes using its controls, and and how comfortable it is to hold and operate. |

Nose wheel

This helps when vacuuming, as it's easier to trundle the inlet around on the ground if it has a nose wheel. |
