When extra power is needed, simply activate the Turbo Boost to unleash a concentrated burst of airflow for efficient debris removal.

The blower’s design includes a streamlined nozzle which enhances airflow efficiency, directing air precisely where it is needed. This design results in a more effective blowing pattern, ensuring that no debris is left behind. Additionally, the unit is designed for easy storage, with a compact design allowing it to fit neatly in sheds or garages without taking up too much space.
