Product details and specs
The BL 500e is a cordless leaf blower designed to make outdoor cleaning a whole lot quicker and easier. Because it's a battery-powered garden blower, there are zero emissions, less vibration and a big noise reduction compared to a typical petrol leaf blower. An ergonomic handle ensures it's comfortable to use, while rubber supports protect the BL 500e's underside and nozzle. Thanks to the optimised position of its motor and impeller, the BL 500e moves air up to 55m/s in one straight direction – clearing all outdoor surfaces quickly and easily. Its intuitive handle-mounted keypad enables you to effortlessly choose between three different air-speed settings. You can select low for lightweight materials on lawns and gravel; medium for grass clippings and leaves on asphalt and other solid surfaces; or full speed for fresh snow, wet leaves and other more challenging debris.
A step up for you to work in larger garden environments or be engaged in multiple tasks and for longer sessions.
