Backpack / Knapsack Leaf Blowers

Ideal for tidying up a miriad of outdoor spaces all year round, the Hyundai HYB5200 is a powerful and robust backpack leaf blower suitable for domestic and semi-professional use. 

With its backpack design and light 9.85kg weight, the HYB5200 can be comfortably used for long periods for garden clearance and leaf blowing work in medium to large gardens, driveways and patios, sports clubs, emenity areas, caravan and car parking sites.

A powerful 52cc two-stroke air-cooled engine with Euro 5 technology lowers fuel consumption and emissions while maintaining a high blowing performance. The conveniently located fingertip controls allow you to control the engine and airflow speed with ease.

Mounted within a sturdy knapsack, low vibration frame, the engine and blower fan are carried comfortably by the user, backpack-style, supported by a twin shoulder harness with padded straps. The HYB5200 is fitted with a large diameter tube on a flexible joint to direct the high-speed air in any direction, and comes with a single narrow-lipped nozzle.

Combining an ergonomic backpack harness with a brutal 179mph air-speed, the British designed WEBPB33 leaf blower is a comfortable and super-efficient way to tackle large-scale outdoor clear-ups!

Featuring a double over-the-shoulder padded harness, with the WEBPB33 petrol blower on your back you'll have both hands free to operate the wand. The convenient cruise control function allows you to give your hand a rest when needed. The ergonomic blower tube handle allows controlled manoeuvrability

The high output 33cc air-cooled, two-stroke engine works with a heavy duty impeller to create a maximum blow speed of 288km/h to rapidly pile up large amounts of leaves and debris in wide open spaces over extended periods of time. 

The GreenWorks GD60BPB is a professional quality knapsack leaf blower, ergonomically designed so that all the weight is carried on the back and the blower is easily controlled by a joystick. The high efficiency DigiPro brushless motor is engineered to provide more power, additional torque, quiet operation and longer motor life.

With performance comparable to a petrol-powered machine, the GD60BPB has the advantage of being lightweight and less noisy with reduced vibration. Added to this, it does not have the restraint of a power cord, the hassle of petrol and oil and is zero maintenance. 

Powering the unit is a beefy 60 volt lithium-ion battery (not supplied) with the convenience of push button start, which will provide up to 15 minutes run-time on a single charge of a 4Ah battery. The blower produces a forceful 225km/h (140mph) blow speed and air flow rate of 540cfm to blast leaves and debris into manageable piles.

The GreenWorks 60V backpack blower features a variable speed dial and cruise control for optimised air speed control and precision to give you just the right amount of blowing power needed exactly where you want it. 

Conveniently, the 60 volt li-ion battery will power all the garden tools in the GreenWorks Pro 60V range, including lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, string trimmer and chainsaw, so your battery and tools become an integrated garden care system.

*** Best Backpack Leaf Blower

Here's what The Independent had to say....

"If you want to look like a Ghostbuster while going about your seasonal clearance then this is the machine for you. Backpack blowers are great for allowing you total freedom to roam about your garden blasting away at anything out of place.

Thanks to the machine’s respectable air speed and volume numbers, combined with a wide-mouthed nozzle, the air is directed in a targeted jet that quickly cleared covered decking and patios and efficiently directed leaf litter and twigs, without it ending up in messy piles. The variable speed trigger was also responsive and the automatic cruise control was efficient – eliminating any hand and finger strain while you’re on the job.

Finally, the one thing you definitely want from a backpack blower, as you’re probably going to be wearing it for a while, is ergonomics and comfort. Greenworks has done a good job here with a fully adjustable and sufficiently padded harness and a manoeuvrable blower tube and angled handle, which makes it easy to achieve a good working angle."
