We all do the cleaning in the apartment. But the area around the private house is no less in need of this event. And if we use a vacuum cleaner in the house, then such smart machines as blowers or garden vacuum cleaners have been invented for cleaning the yard. Their possibilities are much wider.
Blower capabilities
- cleaning the area from all kinds of debris, it copes well not only with leaves and cut grass, but even with branches lying on the ground, for this you can use both the "blowing" function and the "suction" function;
- aeration of the soil;
- garbage shredding;
- spraying plants;
- purging all parts of the computer and cleaning them from dust;

How a garden vacuum cleaner works
The main working part of any blower is the engine. It drives a centrifugal fan, which, depending on the direction of rotation, can either blow out or suck in air. If the “blowing air” mode is operating, the debris is collected in a heap by an air jet from the long branch pipe. In the "suction" mode, the garbage is collected in a special bag with simultaneous crushing.
What are the blowers
Depending on the power, a distinction is made between manual and self-propelled blowers. The former can operate from the electrical network or from a storage battery. The latter usually run on gasoline and are very powerful, but make a lot of noise.
This garden tool is produced by many companies, but one of the market leaders is the Japanese company Makita. It has existed for over 100 years, and has been on the Russian market since 1935. At the moment, products assembled in production in China are entering the market.
All products of the company, including blowers, comply with the international quality standard ISO 9002, which has an analogy with Russian GOSTs - but on an international scale.
