Leaf blower power specs

A leaf blower is rated around 1,200 W, but the real figure shifts with a few things:

Model and rating: A leaf blower ranges from about 600 W on efficient units to 1,500 W on larger or older ones — a spread of ~900 W.
Usage: the real draw depends on terrain, load and session length.
Run time: because a leaf blower only runs in short bursts (a few minutes at a time), hours of use matter as much as raw wattage on your bill.
