Each summer resident is faced with a large amount of garbage on his site. It is especially abundant in autumn, when it is time for leaf fall, and also in spring, when it is necessary to remove the garbage that has accumulated over several months.

The most acute problem with harvesting occurs for those who have a large number of fruit trees and berry fields at their dachas. It is good to enjoy ripe and juicy fruits, but few people enjoy removing the leaves from them in the autumn and spring months. Recently, modern equipment has appeared in specialized stores, which helps summer residents in gardening work. Among such equipment are blowers. Most of all summer residents are pleased with the cleaning of leaves with a blower.

Blower

A blower is a tool that performs the same function as a conventional rake, broom or broom. With the help of air, she blows out the leaves and ultimately cleans the plantations of fallen leaves and even small twigs. Some modifications of such tools also have the function of sucking debris into special bags.

What are the blowers according to the principle of engine operation?

At the moment, the manufacturer produces blowers of two types: with an electric motor and a gasoline one.

In terms of environmental safety, of course, an electric blower is best suited. Unlike gasoline, it does not emit harmful substances into the atmosphere that are formed during fuel combustion. This device works in two modes - blowing and garden vacuum cleaner. With the help of the latter mode, you can easily clear the area of ​​the site from small debris, and the blowing mode will help get rid of foliage. Also, this blower has a chopper, which in turn helps to clear the garden of larger branches. However, an electric garden blower also has a very obvious drawback - it is tied to a source of electricity and cannot operate without electricity, which makes it problematic for use in large gardens. In addition, this invention is not recommended for use with high humidity.

Better blower electric

The gasoline-powered garden vacuum has gained much more popularity than its electric competitor. This is explained by the fact that it does not require electricity to operate, in this regard, it can be used even in the farthest corners of the garden and in industrial gardens, which sometimes spread over several tens, or even hundreds of hectares. A petrol blower requires a small amount of petrol to operate.

Important! Such a blower is also relatively light - the average weight of such tools is about three to four kilograms. That is why even a few hours of work with it will not cause severe fatigue. The speed of similar garden vacuum cleaners is also appreciated by gardeners. On average, it is 53-55 meters per second.

Blower operating modes

A standard blower can operate in three modes: direct blower, garden vacuum and shredder.

The blower mode is for the tool to collect fallen leaves and other small debris on the site into one pile. During the operation of the tool, a large air flow occurs, which collects all unnecessary debris in one place.At the same time, the summer resident can control the air masses himself and thus concentrate the garbage in the place necessary for him. Most often, this is the mode that is used in autumn for fallen leaves.

The second mode of operation of such a tool is the mode of a garden vacuum cleaner.

The second mode of operation of such a tool is the mode of a garden vacuum cleaner. This function is also available for all blower types. The process of its work is similar to a regular home vacuum cleaner. During operation, the garbage is swallowed and enters a special garbage bag through a plastic pipe.

In some series there is also a third mode - a chopper. The principle of operation resembles the second mode, however, before the garbage enters the bag, it is finely chopped using special knives. As a result, shredded garden residues can be used as mulch for various plants. However, not all blowers have such a mode. To find out for sure, you should consult with a store employee.

Electric garden blower: basic classification of units

Before buying such a unit, you should pay attention to the features of using such a tool:

  • For small areas, a handheld blower is best. It is good because it has excellent maneuverability, it is easy to work with it in gardens and alleys. This unit is small in size. Compactness does not allow a person to get very tired during work. In addition, the device is equipped with a comfortable handle and belt.
  • A gasoline knapsack blower will be good for areas remote from residential buildings and structures. It runs on gasoline and is therefore not tied to a power supply. Such a unit is quite heavy. However, even a weak woman can wear and use it. This is explained by the fact that the garden vacuum cleaner has a special belt system. It is she who relieves a person of fatigue, since it evenly distributes the weight of the equipment. As a result, the gardener will not get tired, even if he works for several hours.
  • For industrial gardens, powerful cordless vacuum cleaners are best suited. They have, as a rule, wheels, which allow rolling such units around the plantations. These fans have four wheels and one handle. In addition, they have wide attachments that can clear as much debris as possible. Also, the blower-vacuum cleaner also has the function of a chopper, it processes even large branches well. At the same time, domestic developers have thought out large containers for collecting garden waste, and have also introduced sprayers.

Garden vacuum blower: how to choose the right one

Choose your garden blower responsibly. Close attention should be paid to some parameters and aspects. Here are the main ones:

  • Plot size. The most important aspect to be guided by when choosing a vacuum cleaner for the garden. For small areas (up to two hectares), manual power units are well suited. However, if the area of ​​the garden is more than two hundred acres, then it is recommended to purchase a gasoline vacuum cleaner. If the area of ​​an industrial garden is five or even ten hectares, then it is better to purchase a garden vacuum cleaner on wheels for your farm.
  • The amount of work and complexity is the second aspect that you need to pay attention to when choosing this type of equipment. It is necessary to analyze what needs to be done with this blower (collect garbage in one pile, in a bag, or even grind it altogether).
  • Mobility. If the technique is difficult to use, then it will not do any good.
  • Parameters - weight and transportation.

Also, experts advise paying attention to the blower manufacturer. Today the equipment is produced by many companies and factories. The ranking of the best brands looks like this:

  • Hitachi,
  • Husqvarna,
  • Stihl,
  • Bosch.

Do not forget to read the instructions before using. After purchase, service and maintenance of the blower must be concluded with the seller.This is required due to the fact that self-repair will be much more expensive. And it will not be possible to repair it everywhere. For example, not all crews carry out repairs of vortex blowers, even in large cities.

DIY blower

You can save money and make a manual blower. If you make it correctly, then in operation it will not be inferior to the purchased ones. To assemble it, you need to take an unnecessary compressor from a vacuum cleaner, a plastic pipe, a bag, a motor and filters for blowers. You will also need a handle. Collecting all these parts makes a great appliance that has the same functions as a garden vacuum cleaner from a store.

In order for the tool to be of high quality and work for a long time, as well as to not have to repair the blower in a short time, you should not rush to assemble it. Otherwise, the unit will quickly fail and all the work will have to be redone again. But there is always an option to buy equipment in a store, the main thing is to decide on a model.
