    Detailed Test Results

    Sweeping: Indicates the speed of moving a pile of leaves.
    Loosening: Indicates the speed of removing embedded leaf particles from the lawn.
    Vacuuming: Reflects how quickly and effectively models with vacuum capability pick up leaves and how finely they are mulched.
    Handling and ease of use: Includes ease of maneuvering, using controls, and changing modes.
    Noise at ear: Blower-mode noise is based on our measurements at the operator's ear level. Models rated Fair or Poor at ear level emitted at least 85 dBA, loud enough to warrant hearing protection.
    Noise at 50 feet: Blower-mode noise is based on industry-standard measurements at 50 feet. Models rated Very Good or Excellent at 50 feet should meet common municipal limits of 65 decibels (dBA).
