Zoom on the Husqvarna 340iBT
The Husqvarna 340iBT is a cordless backpack blower that is suited for homeowners with larger home grounds ranging from half-acre lawns to multi-acre estates.
It sports a max air speed of 166 MPH and a max air volume rating of 493 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Practically, this means the blower should handle large amounts of leaves across yards, patios, or driveways while also having enough speed to move damp leaves, acorns, or small twigs.
A 36V brushless motor powers the 340iBT, which operates fully cordless for versatile handling. The Husqvarna 340iBT works with Husqvarna's BLI batteries, which are designed for professional use and offer maximum capacity for longer run times. The unit's runtime will therefore depend on the type of BLI battery you choose. By default, the blower doesn't come with any battery or charger.
Users can fine-tune airflow with the variable speed settings of the 340iBT, complemented by intuitive cruise control for effortless use.
This cordless backpack blower weighs 13.9 lbs and distributes that weight across the shoulders and back for extended use with less strain on the arms. Its throttle is located on the tube, which allows to keep the left hand free.
