Run time is one of the most important aspects to consider when buying a cordless leaf blower. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can take 1 – 2 hours to recharge, so you’ll probably want to try to get all your leaf blowing done in one go. In terms of power, this Bosch leaf blower sits above much of its competitors. With a blow-speed range of 170 – 250 km/h , it’s the most powerful of all the cordless leaf blowers I tested. Its 2.0 Ah battery offered the longest blow time too.

Cordless blowers are also more expensive, particularly if you need to invest in a battery and charger, too. However, there are models that may work with the batteries and chargers of your existing garden or power tools. Models from Bosch, Worx or Ryobi, for example, offer batteries that work across their range of products. What’s more, some manufacturers have joined forces around a battery standard, so that if you buy a leaf blower that uses Bosch’s Power 4 All battery, you can share batteries and chargers with compatible equipment from Gardena and Flymo. When it c omes to power tools, Ryobi is a go-to brand for many. They’ve built their reputation on being innovative and reliable, whilst still producing products that are more affordable than many alternatives. I found this to be the case with the other Ryobi tools that I recently tested and reviewed, so I expected the ONE+ Cordless Blower to be just as impressive.

This leaf blower comes with a battery and charger included. The battery can be used for a variety of gardening and DIY tools from Bosch, so it’s a useful choice for gardeners with lots of Bosch tools already. The battery run time is a reasonable 17 minutes, which should be enough for most small domestic tasks. Built for leaf blowing, dust cleaning, pet hair cleaning and snow clearing, this is one of the most versatile leaf blowers on the market. Unlike others, it doesn’t offer a vacuum function, but there are several features that give it versatility. It might be small, but don’t underestimate it: this compact, convenient blower gets the job done in style. This tool has another benefit as it can also be used as a vacuum. The vacuum isn’t quite as effective as the blower, but it can come in handy in certain contexts. Switching between the two functions is simple, requiring no tools. In terms of volume, this leaf blower emits 92.6 dB. It therefore sits at the quieter end of the market, though it’s by no means the quietest leaf blower featured here.

VonHaus is a popular brand, especially among those who need new power tools or machinery but don’t want to spend a fortune. Their G-Series Cordless Leaf Blower fits this criteria – it’s much more affordable than many of the others on the market, but how does it compare when it comes to performance? It comes with two tube attachments, of different lengths. Therefore, you can adjust the blower length depending on the task at hand. Many other machines, such as the Bosch and the Einhell, give you multiple speeds to choose from. However, this didn’t impact performance in a negative way – this cordless blower has a 241km/h air speed that is enough to shift both dry and wet leaves, even from long grass, which many of the other leaf blowers struggled with.
