Description
Equipped with a 26cc two-cycle engine, the Poulan PLB26 gas-powered blower is capable of 190 mph air speed and 430 cfm airflow, making it ideal for year-round clean-up of grass, leaves, and other stubborn debris. With trigger-operated variable speed control and a comfortable, soft-grip handle, it's powerful, versatile, and easy-to-use.
Zoom on the Poulan Pro PLB26
With its gas handheld design, the Poulan Pro PLB26 is best suited to homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It is rated for a max air volume of 430 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 190 MPH. In practice, this blower should move scattered leaves across yard areas and patios with concentrated airflow.
With its 26-cc 2-stroke engine, the PLB26 requires a 50:1 fuel-to-oil mix for operation.
In order to afford more control to the user, this unit has a variable speed control. No matter the size of the job, the user can adjust the airflow of the Poulan Pro PLB26 to match.
Weighing 9.9 lbs (dry), the handheld design allows the operator to control airflow with one hand.
