Garden vacuum cleaner Champion gbr357, eb4510

Among the many devices designed to help the gardener-gardener, and just the owner of a country house, very interesting units called blowers or garden vacuum cleaners have appeared relatively recently. Initially, they were invented primarily to help collect leaves and other plant debris in the fall, in order to facilitate the work of putting the site in order before winter. But the devices turned out to be very versatile in their application – witty owners adapted to use blowers all year round – both in winter for cleaning paths and roofs from snow cover, and for drying cars after washing so that they do not leave streaks, and even for lighting a fire in country stoves or B-B-Q.

The owners of various workshops use them to clean their workplaces, blowing off wood and metal filings and other debris. Blowers, like most devices that serve a person, are produced with two types of engines: electric and gasoline. And even if you have power outages in your country house, the gasoline unit will come to your aid at any moment. In addition, it is not tied to an electrical outlet and is very mobile. Such, for example, is the champion gb 226 blower. Despite its compactness and relatively low weight, about 4 kg without fuel, this blower is capable of delivering a powerful air stream that sweeps away even small solid particles, not to mention leaves and twigs. Resourceful people even use it to inflate balloons.

Blowers and their classification

If you go to almost any modern garden equipment store, then the abundance of models presented, including blowers, usually makes your eyes run wide. How can you navigate at least a little in this abundance and understand what you need specifically? It must be understood that there are several classifications of blowers. First, they differ in the type of construction and, as a result, the coverage of the area they can clear. The following categories of blowers are distinguished here:

• Manual models are designed for cleaning small areas and work with them is usually quite short. These blowers are quite light and compact and are best suited for those who have a small area in use that requires regular maintenance.
• Knapsack blowers, as the name suggests, are worn on the shoulders and allow you not to be limited in freedom of movement and move over quite considerable distances without much stress.
• Wheel blowers are exclusively professional products that are used in large industrial facilities, parks, reserves, and so on.

Blowers also differ in the type of motor used. Electric models are very convenient to use, because they are light in weight, dimensions, do not require special technical knowledge, and all modes and speeds are turned on and switched in the most elementary way – by pressing a button or switch. In addition, electric blowers are virtually silent and environmentally friendly. The main disadvantage of an electric blower is its attachment to the mains, since even in terms of power, some models are almost as good as gasoline ones. The main advantage of gasoline blowers is their power and mobility – they can handle almost any of the most complex cleaning tasks. And you can use them in a wide variety of hard-to-reach places, including where there is no electricity at all. Well, the disadvantages of gasoline blowers are exactly the same as all devices with gasoline engines: they make a lot of noise and poison the environment with exhaust gases.

Cordless blowers seem to be a compromise between gas and electric blowers, as they combine the main positive qualities of both. But not just power.

Champion blowers

In modern times, not every company can boast of a good ratio of the quality of materials used and assembly with the cost of finished products. Usually the prices for products of well-known brands, known for their quality, are inflated to the point of impossibility. Although the assembly can be carried out in the same China, and even the products of world-famous companies are not immune from breakdowns and malfunctions. Champion products are famous, first of all, for their low cost, but thanks to the use of high-quality and wear-resistant components, they remain quite competitive with world leaders in gardening and household equipment.

Likewise, any Champion electric or gasoline blower will have good performance, long life and a very reasonable price. Therefore, the main Champion models will be discussed in more detail below.

Petrol models

Gasoline blowers are available from Champion in a wide range. Below is a comparative table of the main most common models of this type with their technical characteristics.

The first model, the Champion GB226 blower already mentioned at the beginning of the article, is notable for its sufficient power, but at the same time it is light in weight and relatively easy to handle. On one full gas tank filling, you can successfully work for more than one hour. In addition, the engine of this model is specially protected from dust.

The Champion gbr333 blower has more power and therefore even more airflow. Actually, in all respects, it surpasses the previous model and already claims to be called a blower for professionals. No wonder many utility workers and professional gardeners opt for this particular model.

In addition, the body of the blower is made of impact-resistant plastic and can last quite a long time.

The next model, the Champion gbr357 blower, is a classic representative of the professional class of tools in all respects. In addition to the above technical characteristics, this blower has a translucent capacious tank that allows you to control the fuel level. Its blower pipe can be adjusted in length and ends with a convenient, extended nozzle. All control of the Champion gbr357 is concentrated in one handle, which allows you to control the blower with one hand.

That is, it has additional functions of suction of plant debris and its grinding. So at the output you can get ready-made material for the formation of a compost heap or for mulching tree trunks. The much greater weight of the Champion gbv 326s blower comes from additional parts responsible for the suction process. But, thanks to the shoulder strap and the balanced center of gravity of the unit, working with it is not tiring.

Finally, the most interesting movement is the Champion ps257. According to the documents, this unit is called a gasoline knapsack sprayer, although in appearance it is very similar to a blower. Indeed, its main advantage is the design itself, which allows the device to be used as a blower. Moreover, the power of the air flow is quite consistent with professional blowers – up to 100 m/s. Champion ps257 is able to cope with the collection of mowed grass in heaps and with sweeping wet leaves from the lawn. Thus, you get a unit with several professionally performed functions at once.

Feedback on the operation of gasoline blowers

Feedback on the operation of blowers is interesting and optimistic, which shows the interest in these units and their demand.

Electrical Models

Among the models powered by electricity, the Champion eb4510 blower seems to be the most worthy representative. First of all, it has a small size and a weight of only 3,2 kg, which makes working with it completely not burdensome. With an electric motor power of 1 kW, the outlet airflow speed reaches 75 m/s, which is comparable to professional models. Most importantly, the Champion eb4510 electric blower is also a garden vacuum cleaner, because it can not only blow a jet of air, but also suck up leaves and small twigs from the ground. To do this, the package includes an extensive waste container with a capacity of 45 liters, made of durable synthetic material. It is easily removed and cleaned. For ease of use, the end of the pipe of the Champion eb4510 vacuum cleaner is equipped with special support wheels. With an overall low weight of the unit, these wheels make cleaning a pleasure. On top of that, the blower has a switch for air speeds, which is very convenient for working in different modes.

Conclusion

Blowers are interesting and useful devices that will facilitate the work of any owner of a personal plot. And, given the modern variety of choices, almost anyone can choose a model according to their needs and financial capabilities.
