Air speed moves a leaf, air volume moves a pile · review
The only petrol machine here, with two tubes — one curved to get under leaves, one straight to avoid raising dust — and a 450 ml tank.
The bottom line The only petrol blower on the shelf, and the only machine anywhere here supplied with two different tubes for two different surfaces: a curved one that blows under leaves to lift them, and a straight one that avoids raising dust on hard dry ground. 26 cc two-stroke, 450 ml tank, throttle lock.
A 2-in-1 petrol blower with a double blowing function, supplied with two blow tubes for different surfaces and tasks. The two-stroke engine has 26 ccm and gives a blowing speed of 71 m/s, and the large 450 ml tank is stated to suit large areas, paths and driveways. The curved tube blows air under the leaves so they lift more easily; the straight tube avoids raising dust on hard, dry ground. A throttle lock allows long comfortable work and the carburettor has a primer pump. The maker states the machine can optionally be upgraded with an expansion pack to a vacuum with a collection bag and a shredder, whose metal impeller reduces the leaves in a 12:0 ratio.
Nothing else on this site offers this, and it is the kind of thing that comes from use rather than from a specification sheet.
Leaves lying on grass or gravel need air underneath them to break the contact — a curved nozzle pointed slightly down and forward does that. Leaves and grit on a dry paved path need the opposite: a flat stream that pushes rather than lifts, because a curved one raises a cloud of dust you then have to wait out.
One machine, two nozzles, two jobs.
71 m/s. Every other machine here quotes air speed in kilometres per hour, and this site prints what the maker printed.
That is a deliberate inconvenience. Converting would produce a figure the manufacturer never published, and on a shelf where the same quantity appears in two conventions the honest thing is to show the reader that rather than to hide it behind arithmetic.
Range. No cable to drag around a large property, and no pack to run out halfway through an hour’s work on a long drive.
What it costs is a two-stroke engine used two months a year: mixed fuel, a primer, a pull cord, and fuel that has to be managed from November to October.
Stated as an upgrade pack rather than supplied. That matters for the price comparison: as it comes, this is a blower, and the machines around it on this shelf are blower vacuums.
From 93 € to 119 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.
Beyond the euro zone, the British Amazon store prices it in its own currency, which the spread above sets aside.
Nothing came back from the American Amazon store at all; the buy button there runs a search rather than opening an empty page.

Because a curved nozzle directs air beneath a layer of leaves and lifts them, while a straight one keeps the stream flatter and does not raise dust from dry, hard ground. They are two genuinely different jobs and no other machine here acknowledges it.
They are the same quantity in two units, and this site does not convert them — a converted number is one the maker never published. What a reader can do is note that the shelf quotes air speed both ways, and compare within each convention.
It means pre-mixed fuel and it means the fuel has to be dealt with between seasons, which for a machine used two months a year is the main ownership cost. Run it dry or stabilise it; half a tank left from November is what blocks a small carburettor.
A large property with paths, gravel and driveways, out of reach of any socket
