California-Friendly, Zero Emissions
This blower is battery powered and produces zero exhaust emissions, so it has no gas engine and no fuel or oil mixing. It is not affected by California's AB 1346 restrictions on new small off-road gas engines, so it is a good choice for landscapers and homeowners in California and other areas with gas-equipment rules.
