Leaf Blower And ...

Leaf Blower And ...
It takes about 2 minutes to switch the blower components to the vacuum components. The real draw here is the metal impeller that mulches leaves as you vacuum reducing the size of your mulch. If you have a compost pile this could come in handy or it means fewer garbage bags by the curb if you want to go to the trouble. The brown leaves mulched up pretty easily for me, but the recently fallen magnolia leaves were still green and the Toro didn't eat them up too well. The moisture was kind of a mess really.

If you are in the market for an electric powered leaf blower and vacuum I don't think you will be disappointed in this model. I would have recommended my old Super model to anyone that asked and this one feels the same with a few upgrades.

Makita BHX2500CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 24.5cc Handheld Blower

My Makita Leaf Blower arrived quickly using Amazon's Prime Service. Even though the machine is new, and built in 2007, it started right up on the third pull. After that, it quickly starts on the first or second pull. There is no hesitation once it starts and from there on it just purrs like a big cat. Don't be fooled by the 145 MPH air speed from this tool. I thought it was going to be underpowered. But most leaf blowing tasks can be done at idle or 1/4 throttle. I think this is because when you carry the tool around, the nozzle is always close to the ground. Only when encountering wet leaves I had to use more power from the rather quiet engine. Oil (10W-30) is not included. Being a 4 cycle engine, no oil and gas mixing is required. The manual is poorly translated from Japanese, but adequate. At 10 pounds (wet) and with a sore elbow, I had no trouble doing my yard and blowing leaves from inside the garage. You can even blow away pesky cobwebs off windows and dry your car.
