Description

Capable of 230 mph air speed and 450 cfm airflow, it's ideal for year-round clean-up of grass, leaves, and other stubborn debris.

Includes vacuum. (source: Poulan Pro)

Overview of the Poulan Pro PPBV25

  • Power: The Poulan Pro PPBV25 is a gas-powered leaf blower. It sports a max air speed of 230 MPH and a max air volume rating of 450 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
  • Handling: Being handheld, this blower has a good maneuverability and is meant to be easier to carry around over a small period of time. Be aware that, at 17 lbs, the Poulan Pro PPBV25 is on the heavier side of gas-powered handheld blowers.
  • Engine: The engine boasts a displacement of 25 cc. As you may or may not know, 2-stroke engines require a mixture of gasoline and oil in order to keep all the moving parts lubricated while fuelling the engine’s internal combustion. The fuel/oil ratio recommended by Poulan Pro for the PPBV25 is 50:1.
  • Speed Settings: For those who wish to have complete control while operating their leaf blower, the PPBV25 offers variable speed settings, and moreover, is also equipped with cruise control, which allows the user to comfortably continue blowing at their preferred setting.
  • Vacuum: As a blower vac, the PPBV25 handily vacuums unwanted material into a storage bag for easy disposal (bag included).
  • Mulching: With a mulching ratio of 16:1, this mulcher can reliably pulp 16 bags of waste (such as leaves and other debris) into 1 bag of mulch. The unit uses a metal impeller.
  • Noise: As far as gas-powered handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 96.7 dB.
  • Fuel Tank: It has an average fuel capacity for a handheld blower, with a tank that holds around 16.9 fl. oz of fuel.

The Poulan Pro PPBV25's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Poulan Pro PPBV25 compare with similar leaf blowers.

  • It can push air from the nozzle at 230 MPH, which puts it ahead of its class in terms of air speed for gas-powered handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman BV2500 and its 250 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • It has a maximum air volume output of 450 CFM (cubic feet per minute). With this output rating, the PPBV25 is well within average in relation to similar gas-powered handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Craftsman B225, with 650 CFM, could be in your good books.
