Product Video

The Toro 51701's performance versus other blowers

The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Toro 51701 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 18 and 24V).

  • The Toro 51701 expels air at speeds up to 115 MPH, showcasing typical air speed performance for battery-operated handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Makita XBU07SM1 and its 143 MPH could be an option to consider.
  • As this unit is rated at 146 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K, which boasts with 510 CFM.
  • Users can expect a maximum autonomy of 15 minutes from its battery, which means the 51701 won't run as long as many other cordless handheld units before needing to be plugged in. To enjoy the best possible autonomy in this category, you could have a look at the Ryobi PBLLB01K which offers up to 60 minutes of runtime.

    Battery life is horrible. The battery may last about 15 minutes but it starts to degrade after 5 minutes or so and then it barely moves anything. Within another 5 minutes it’s completely dead. So, although it may sound like a great deal at first, it’s totally not worth it to only get about 5 minutes or so of use each time you need it.

    + PROS: Price is great and it is light weight.
    - CONS: Battery life is horrible. The battery may last about 15 minutes but it starts to degrade after 5 minutes or so and then it barely moves anything.
