Description
38% More Air Movement Than the Competition. Little Wonder Optimax blowers are the best-designed blowers in the world… known for unmatched leaf-blowing efficiency.
Zoom on the Little Wonder 9160-02-01
The Little Wonder 9160-02-01 is a gas walk-behind blower that is appropriate for homeowners with properties with wide lawns, large gardens, or estate-sized grounds over half an acre.
It is capable of expelling a maximum air volume of 1397 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Its air speed is rated at 153 miles per hour (MPH). For the user, this translates into a blower that can shift leaves across large grounds while providing enough force for small piles.
The 9160-02-01 features a 163-cc 4-stroke Honda GC160 engine. The fuel tank has a capacity of 0.83 gal.
For those who are keen on having complete control while operating their leaf blower, the 9160-02-01 offers variable speed settings.
With its walk-behind design and a weight of 108 lbs, the blower is guided along the ground, making it suitable for expansive lawns or driveways. The unit features two 10" pneumatic wheels at the back, as a well as a front wheel that unfortunately does not swivel.
The Little Wonder 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.
