Given its inexpensive price, this budget petrol leaf blower has plenty to offer. Though, as you can imagine, there are some shortcomings compared to more premium machines. The build quality is a little low, so the leaf blower needs to be taken care of to avoid any of the tubes becoming brittle and breaking. It can also be difficult to get the machine to reliably start first time. With a variable speed trigger, you can adjust the airflow depending on what you need. For larger areas and general cleaning, you can increase the airflow. In comparison, for times when you need to be more precise, the speed can be decreased to give you greater control of the leaf blower.
