how does the power of the blower compare with a 25cc gas blower? the gas blowers claim 150-200 MPH blower strength.

Hank, Sorry. I have never used a 25cc gas blower. The blower on the 6.5 hp vac does seem to do a good job, very adequate for blowing leaves or other household needs. I have not run into anything yet that this vac can't handle. My only complaint since I bought the 6.5 hp vac is that you can't carry it and use it due to the bulky size and the canister clips not being designed for this as well as the accessory storage panel could be a little better. These are minor things due to the extra long hoses and the fact that the storage is optional to use and adequate enough for the most part. I would definitely purchase this again, without hesitation. I hope this helps.

The Champion Power Equipment 46533 4,000 Watt 196cc Gas Powered Portable Generator is the same one as the 46596 model except that it is CARB Compliant for residents in California. Hope this helps.

Probably won't be able to move large amounts of leaves esp. compared to a gas blower. But, Makita recently introduced a 36 volt model thatuses two 18-volt batteries. That may work. This blower is excellent for moving debris on smooth surfaces such as garage or deck floors.It's also good for quickly drying off any wet surface or for drying contact cement when used for laminating surfaces. I am very happy with it!

I believe it is rated at 140 on high setting, which is the highest mph I have seen on a cordless blower. It is more than adequate for light leaf removal from walks and driveways, though again it does not compare to my big corded blower which can top 200 mph. It's great appeal is ease of use - no long cord to unwind/wind or gas/oil to mess with, plus it is much quieter than the more powerful blowers. Ideally it should be your second blower, not your primary, where I recommend the Craftsman (Sears) corded models.

The main difference is in the tube diameters. The 150 has smaller tubes which give higher MPH, but lower CFM, the 350 has larger tubes which give lower MPH, but higher CFM. Both are about equal in real world performance with one's higher MPH just about cancelling out the others higher CFM. It comes down to whether you need to move larger piles of debris, in which case the higher CFM is handy, or you need to move stuck down debris like wet grass and leaves, in which case the higher MPH is handy. Both have more than enough for the average person on a daily route. It's when the leaves start dropping that a bigger blower is the way to go.

I am happy with the 20v model. I can blow out my 2 car garage, 20 yard long driveway, front porch, screened-in porch and concrete deck without running out of charge at full power (approx. 15 minutes). It is also very light and built well (ergonomically and durable), dropped it a couple of times and no problem.

This blower does a fine job on the lighter stuff and the battery lasts for as long as I need it to and then some. I can honestly say that I cannot tell you how long the battery lasts as I use it for about 20 minutes, put it away, and use it again without recharging. Does this unit perform like a gas powered unit, no, but it is less noisy, light weight, and thus convenient to clear off decks, sidewalks, or other similar jobs.

MPH rating doesn't mean much compared to a blower's design. This blower moves a LOT of air even at low speeds. It moves more debris than my previous 2-stroke backpack blower especially at lower speeds. I rarely use this at full throttle. And like the other posts mention, the ease of start up is a huge plus over 2-stroke machines.

If I remember correctly, the 160 has a higher discharge velocity than the 150. In simple terms, the 160 has a higher trash blowing capaability.

I dont know exacrly, but make sure your car is running if you use an acdc inverter from your car, hahahaha. Its not a crazy strong motor, but it does take quite a bit to blow that guy up

Tube size. The 350 has larger diameter tube resulting in higher air volume, but lower force(mph). If you're blowing leaves in a yard, air volume is best. if you're blowing heavy stuff, the 150 gives more blast, but lower air flow. That's my understanding. I leave the end piece of of my 150 off when I need higher air volume and it works great. You can have the option of high volume or mph that way. Both are probably comparable, i'd go for the best price.

It should I have a gas and 40 volt with the brush blade and blower they fit both. As for power to run it, my 40 volt has more power than a 32cc gas. I had purchased a commercial pivot pro head for my gas with 105 string and it would not swing it unless in lite grass. The 40 volt takes down 3ft Johnson grass no problem. My brush blade goes though 3/4 in brush one swing. I am think about getting one I am sure it has the power to cut a six in branch.

They are not as quiet as a honda but you get 3500 watts not 2000 watts. Ramsond generator is very quiet though and run my a/c unit very good, Glad I got one about a year now.

Yes. The blower has a variable speed option if your gravel is very small. But even if it didn't I don't suspect it to be a problem. I have a gravel pit and haven't had any problems as of yet. Hope this was helpful.

Robert I think around 250 but not sure. I use three of them on my race car! They move a great deal of air!

250-watts - I haven't had any drag on mine. The turbo button is great for a power boost, too.
