Zoom on the Little Wonder 9270-12-01
The Little Wonder 9270-12-01 is a gas walk-behind blower that is appropriate for homeowners with big residential yards that extend beyond half an acre and require ongoing upkeep.
It sports a max air speed of 143 MPH and a max air volume rating of 2260 cubic feet per minute (CFM). Practically, this means the blower should handle dense leaves or light piles efficiently across large lawns, estates, or park grounds.
With a 270-cc 4-stroke Honda engine, the 9270-12-01 operates as a gas blower. The fuel tank has a capacity of 1.4 gal.
Sometimes you just need a little more power, while other times you may want a little more precision when moving leaves and debris. That’s why the 9270-12-01 features variable speed settings for added control.
The unit’s walk-behind configuration weighs 202 lbs and lets the user move it over wide spaces while maintaining control from behind. The unit features two 13" pneumatic wheels at the back, as a well as a front wheel that unfortunately does not swivel. This push blower is also self-propelled, a feature that makes pushing it around easy despite its 202 lbs.
The Little Wonder 9270-12-01 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.
