Cleaning in the garden involves the collection of leaves and other things.garbage in special containers or zones for disposal. You can cope with this work by traditional means in the form of a broom and a rake, but in order to save time, you should turn to more technologically advanced modern tools for restoring order. Gardening tools developers offer an effective device that allows you to literally blow garbage from the site. This is a gasoline blower that is supplied with an engine and provides an effective cleaner function. The equipment is presented in different versions, provided with several modes of operation, differs in dimensions and ergonomics.
Types of construction
There are three categories of blowers.These are manual models, backpack and industrial. For a small garden, it makes sense to purchase devices of the first type, as they are compact, inexpensive, and have enough power to serve a small area. Knapsack apparatuses occupy a niche between home and professional equipment. These are vacuum cleaners for the garden, the main difference of which lies in the supply of a backpack. This design facilitates the transportation of the unit and allows you to more effectively cope with the cleaning of large spaces. Industrial blowers are less common, but in some cases they are indispensable. Such a unit has high power potential and wide functionality. In addition, industrial models are supplied with wheels, large nozzles with grip up to 65 cm, a spacious garbage can and high-quality cutting elements.
Selection by main characteristics
Garden vacuum cleaners have a simple design,therefore, there will be no particular difficulty in understanding the technical parameters. So, power is a key indicator of performance. Depending on the design, garden blowers can have a power potential from 0.5 to 4.4 kW. Accordingly, for a private small area, a lower power level will be sufficient, and if an aggregate is required for servicing large areas, then it is worth choosing a model with a high rate of up to 4 kW.
The following should take into account the characteristics of the air flow. To work with foliage and debris in small quantities, an aggregate with an air volume of up to 700 m is sufficient.3/hour. If you need a machine for professional needs, then you should pay attention to industrial blowers with a flow rate of 1000 m3/hour.In order not to suffer further with refueling the unit, it is necessary to initially provide for the volume of the fuel tank, which varies from 0.5 to 2 liters. This indicator does not affect productivity and quality of work, but if it is planned to clean a large area, then it is better to prefer a bulk tank that will allow working all day without delay.
Features of gasoline models
It would seem electric and rechargeableequipment had long been to put an end to gasoline counterparts. But, despite obsolescence, such units remain in demand due to high performance, long working time intervals and the quality of their function. In addition, the gasoline blower is characterized by reliability and long operational life. Therefore, if a robust and stable unit is required, then the choice, without a doubt, should be made in favor of such a model.
However, you should be prepared for the disadvantages,which for the most part have an aesthetic value or affect ergonomics. In particular, the gasoline vacuum cleaner for garden cleaning has a large size, and its work is accompanied by noise and vibrations. Like any engine on an internal combustion engine, such units emit exhaust gases. In fairness it must also be said that the modern gasoline blower is free from many negative factors of exploitation. In particular, manufacturers are striving to improve insulation and improve ergonomics.
Functionality - what should be considered?
Although garden blowers are mostlyassociated with the function of suction garbage, this is far from the only option. Also in the latest models provide a mode of operation as a shredder. But first things first. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the presence of basic modes of aspirator and air blower. Blowing flow is used when working with hard to reach places or large areas. The function of the vacuum cleaner is recommended for use in cases where you need to collect small debris. By the way, the most efficient in such works is a whirling blower, the power of which allows you to clean the site even from small blades of grass. As for the grinder function, it is not required at every site, but it certainly won't be superfluous. With its help, the owner will be able on the spot to get from the collected garbage ready-made raw materials for compost or fertilizer in the form of mulch.
Completion and optional
Not all models have useful ones.Additions, but experienced gardeners should pay attention to the particular configuration. In the basic equipment of such a technique provides for the presence of pressure and suction tubes, bag for collecting debris, power unit, impeller and filter. Also, depending on the model, the gasoline blower can be equipped with a light start-up system with noise reduction from the motor and a device for canceling vibrations. In addition, some developers spoil the consumer with functional control units. On such a panel, for example, there may be means for setting the cruise control, speed switches and engine performance monitoring sensors.
Manufacturers
This technique is widely represented by brands“Calm”, “Champion” and “Patriot”. These manufacturers offer blowers with decent functionality and for little money. In particular, under the “Champion” and “Patriot” brands, there are units with three basic modes of operation, a high volume of air blowing and a generally good assembly. Interesting and blower "Calm", which has all the modern options and features, but apart from them compares favorably with competitors and the presence of a wide range of different nozzles.
Price issue
Prices for blowers depend on the manufacturer,configuration, power and design. In the initial segment are garden vacuum cleaners worth 3-4 thousand rubles. The middle segment, in which the products of the mentioned brands are sold, has models ranging from 7-8 thousand rubles. These are devices that necessarily have three operating modes, a large waste bin and a high-power motor. The next segment includes more functional and productive units. By the way, in this category there is also an industrial blower, the price of which can reach 20 thousand rubles. In this case, the advantages of technology are not limited by performance. The expensive equipment for professional tasks is also distinguished by durability and high maintainability.
User recommendations for choice
As practice shows, in garden equipmentmuch more important is the thoughtfulness of the design and ergonomics than the power of the equipment. The inconvenience in grabbing the arms is one of the main drawbacks that a garden vacuum cleaner may have, regardless of performance. Further, it is necessary to take into account the design in terms of its retention. The best option is a backpack model, but if there is an opportunity, then it is better to immediately purchase wheeled vehicles. Do not advise users to save on functionality. Even in the care of a small area may require chopping options and performing operations in hard to reach places.
Conclusion
Specialized garden equipment from the rank and fileRussian summer residents are still associated with useless and expensive items. However, a garden vacuum cleaner is no more expensive than a budget motoblock, but the benefits of it will be noticeable in the very first days of falling leaves. At the same time cleaning of the territory is only one of the functions of this equipment. Preparation of mulch and compost without connecting additional funds is another useful addition that can be managed by any gardener. Of course, if we are talking about large areas of public territories, then the expediency of acquiring such a device is not at all questioned. In this case, the problem lies in the correct choice of the model, since the budget blower can hardly solve the problem of large-scale cleaning.
