It\u2019s available now from <a href=\"https:\/\/hototools.com\/products\/20v-leaf-blower\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hoto\u2019s online store<\/a> for $239.99 or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/HOTO-Cordless-Leaf-Blower\/dp\/B0DG57LLWV\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>, where it\u2019s discounted from $249.99 to $189.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">As with previous offerings from Hoto, including its screen-equipped <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/791260\/hoto-pixeldrive-cordless-screwdriver-display\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PixelDrive electric screwdriver<\/a>, the leaf blower has a minimalist design with a 4,000mAh battery at the end of a slim handle that helps counterbalance the blower.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There are three speed settings ranging from 480 up to 720 cubic feet per minute (CFM), and at maximum power, the leaf blower can generate up to a 120mph blast, theoretically ensuring even soggy piles of leaves will be sent flying into your neighbor\u2019s yard. But don\u2019t expect to spend the whole day cleaning up messes at full power. Battery life is rated at up to 30 minutes at 480CFM, and drops to just four minutes at 720CFM.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/hoto_leafblower2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"An illustration showing how you can adjust the Hoto leaf blower\u2019s intensity.\" title=\"An illustration showing how you can adjust the Hoto leaf blower\u2019s intensity.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;A sliding siphon tube lets you adjust between more air speed or more air volume.&lt;\/em&gt; | Image: Hoto\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Hoto\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">For larger messes, the blower has an adjustable siphon tube that slides forward and back to reduce wind speed while increasing the volume of air being pushed. Hoto says the whole thing weighs just 2.93 pounds, but that\u2019s without its battery attached so you can expect to be hefting at least an extra pound while using it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Instead of a dedicated charger, the blower\u2019s battery can be recharged with a standard USB-C cable. If you pair it with a 100W adapter, you\u2019ll only have to wait about 40 minutes for the battery to be back to 80 percent capacity.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/11\/hoto_leafblower4.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"A USB-C cable being inserted in the Hoto leaf blower\u2019s battery.\" title=\"A USB-C cable being inserted in the Hoto leaf blower\u2019s battery.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;The blower\u2019s 4,000mAh battery can be charged to 80 percent in 40 minutes using a 100W AC adapter, but one\u2019s not included.&lt;\/em&gt;
