The Professional DC Electric Powered Leaf Blower designed by Larry Will, Vice President of Engineering at Echo Inc., offers a safe, zero-emission, quiet, durable, and portable solution. It is adaptable, comfortable, lightweight, and low in vibration, yet powerful with long-lasting battery performance. The variable speed and cost-effective design cater to users' needs, with computer-controlled NiMH cartridge battery and left or right-hand application. The blower provides stable shoulder straps for comfortable carrying, while the open space ensures flexibility and comfort. Despite challenges such as high battery weight and cost, as well as small market size, this second-generation prototype is currently undergoing field testing.
