Description

The all-new Weed Eater WE12B electric leaf blower is compact, super-lightweight, easy to start, and easy to use, with simple, intuitive controls. With a 12 amp motor, it's perfect for clean-up of medium- to larger-sized yards, plus driveways, sidewalks, porches, and decks. With 360 CFM of blowing force and 200 MPH air speed, there's plenty of power to blow away grass, leaves, and other stubborn debris. It powers up instantly with the simple press of a button, with no pull cords, gas, oil, or fumes; and it's vacuum-capable, should you choose to remove debris rather than blowing it into a pile or out of sight. Plus, it has a nifty built-in cord retainer for simple, hassle-free storage. (source: Weed Eater)

About Weed Eater

Weed Eater is a notorious power tool company with a complicated history, most well known for its green string trimmers. The company was founded in Texas, US, back in 1971 and over the years, exchanged owners several times, notably Emerson Electric, who merged them with Poulan, and Electrolux, who transferred the outdoor division under Husqvarna AB. However, green Weed Eater products can be found to this day in North America, including a strong line of mostly electric leaf blowers. Their products are unmistakable, as they feature a unique, green, alien-like design.
