Advantages and Disadvantages of Electric Garden Vacuum Cleaners
Modern blowers allow you to quickly collect debris from the site and sweep the lawn, paths without much physical effort. The work of the garden tool is based on the use of a strong air flow, which not only blows away the foliage, but also has a beneficial effect on the lawn vegetation, enriching it with oxygen.
All models of garden blowers differ primarily in the type of motor. You can purchase a tool that works from the mains or from a gasoline engine. Each of these types of garden tools has advantages and disadvantages that you need to be aware of.
Garden vacuum cleaners with an electric motor are more common in household use than gasoline counterparts. This is due to the following advantages:
- The electric garden blower is much lighter than the gasoline version. Its weight is only 2-5 kg, while fuel-powered equipment, equal in power and functionality, weighs about 7-10 kg.
- The smaller dimensions of the electric blower make it convenient to use.
- The electric blower does not emit harmful substances during operation.
- The relatively low noise level and the absence of vibration makes working with the garden tool comfortable.
- The relatively low cost allows everyone to purchase garden tools.
It is really convenient to work with an electric blower. It is lightweight and compact, but there are some unpleasant nuances in using electric models:
- The presence of the cord prevents the worker from moving too far from the power source.
- The length of the cord not only limits movement, but also creates the need to be careful not to get tangled.
- A prerequisite for the operation of a garden blower is the presence of an electrical network, which means that it will not be possible to use the tool in the field.
- The cost of paying for electricity can significantly exceed the cost of buying fuel for cleaning an equal area of the site.
Before buying, you need to carefully study all the advantages and disadvantages of electric blowers, evaluate the scope of future work, and if the site is not too large, and access to electricity is not limited, then you should give preference to the electric tool, which will make the work more comfortable.
To determine which type of tool will still be more convenient to use in one case or another, you can watch a video that clearly demonstrates the performance of various types of garden blowers:
Electric Blower Working Principle
Most garden electric vacuum cleaners work in several modes at once:
- The blowing mode cleans the lawn and paths by sweeping away dust, foliage and grass with a powerful stream of air.
- The vacuum cleaner mode allows you to collect litter in a special bag for subsequent disposal. This function is especially in demand among modern owners, since the harvested foliage does not need to be packed by hand.
- The chopping function allows additional processing of the harvested foliage. Vegetation of the fine fraction fills the garbage bag most densely.
The design of the most complex garden blower-vacuum cleaner can be seen in the picture:
It is worth noting that some blowers are so powerful that they can chop not only grass and foliage, but also small branches, cones, chestnuts. The capacity of the bag and the power of the electric motor depend on the characteristics of a particular model.
According to the type of use, garden blowers can be hand-held, mounted, backpack or wheeled. Special fastening devices make work much easier and free the hands of the worker.
