Overview of the Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01
- Power: The Optimax™ 9160-02-01, built by Little Wonder, is a gas-powered leaf blower capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1397 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 153 MPH.
- Handling: For bigger jobs covering a large area or for those who simply want to keep their leaf blower on the ground, walk-behind blowers such as the Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01 are an ideal choice. They are typically much more powerful than handheld or backpack blowers.
- Engine: This blower's Honda engine has a displacement specification of 163 cc. As this is a 4-stroke engine, the blower does not require a mix of gas and oil in order to run.
- Speed Settings: Thanks to its variable speed settings, the Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01 allows precise control of the air output.
- Fuel Tank: Its 106 fl. oz. fuel tank may be relatively low in capacity, but the decreased weight affords the Optimax™ 9160-02-01 greater comfort and ease of use.

The Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 153 MPH, which is on the lower end for gas-powered walk-behind blowers (the one expelling air at the fastest speed being the Little Wonder C5 99170-06-01 with 200 MPH).
- Its max air volume rating (1397 cubic feet per minute) means it is really not the biggest air producer of gas-powered walk-behind blowers (the biggest expelled air volume belonging to the Eliet BL 450 EZR with 3814 CFM).
OPTIMAX™ Technology
The Little Wonder Optimax™ 9160-02-01 benefits from a reversed angle fan blade that is a lot different from other blowers: it improves the fan efficiency and, when combined with a scrolled housing, allows the blower to move more air than many other wheeled blowers. The air deflector in an Optimax™ walk-behind leaf blower splits the airstream to direct the fastest moving air where it’s needed the most. Moreover, its low lying discharge chute gets the airflow closer to the surface. For surface treating, this allows it to clear small particles. For surface drying, this allows it to move standing water.The bottom line
- OPTIMAX™ Technology
- 5 year (limited) warranty
- Small tank (106 fl. oz.)
- Low CFM (1397 CFM)
- Low MPH (153 MPH)
