Why do you say they don't blow as well? I replaced my gas blower with an electric one a couple years back and it blows even better than my gas did. I also can't think of a technical reason why this would be the case so I'm curious what you mean by this.
- ddingus 6y agoDo you live somewhere with respectable residential power? 120 volts at 10 amps is kind of tepid, when compared against a combustion engine, and typical for the US
- Johnny555 6y agoDepends on the style. An plug-in electric leafblower is constrained to around 2HP max (746W/HP) while drawing 12A from a 15A circuit. A handheld gas one will have a 25cc engine and can probably do 2HP max. But the backpack style gas leafblower that landscaping crews often use will have a 50 or 60cc engine that would put out 3 or 4HP, so will be able to blow more strongly.
- asdff 6y agoThe standard to compare isn't some gas blower, it's a STIHL blower. Commercially, these don't work as well as commerical gas blowers (which is probably where most of the market actually is).
