Zoom on the Husqvarna 530iB
The Husqvarna 530iB
The Husqvarna 530iB is a cordless handheld blower that is a good match for homeowners with a small outdoor space such as a patio, driveway, or yard under about a quarter acre.
It sports a max air speed of 152 MPH and a max air volume rating of 588 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.
The 530iB features a 36V brushless motor, providing cordless operation for flexibility and mobility. This version is a bare tool, so batteries are not included. Its operation needs a 36V BLi-X battery.
There are times when you only need a little more power, while other times you will want a bit more precision when clearing leaves and debris. For this purpose, the 530iB offers variable speed settings, adding you, the user, more control, and a cruise control mode, which will allow you to maintain it comfortably for as long as you wish.
This blower weighs 5.95 lbs and its handheld form makes one-handed operation straightforward.
