Billy Goat Blower Review
The Billy Goat blower was compared to other top brands in the following categories...
| Brand | Blowing | Durability | Handling | Maintenance | | | Power | | & Balance | & Ingenuity | | Billy Goat | A- | B+ | B+ | B+ | | Fradan | B+ | A- | A- | A- | | Little Wonder | A- | B+ | B+ | B+ |
Blowing Power: A- A huge fan generates a ton of wind. It is laid out different than Little Wonder in that it has a circular discharge and no split stream of air. It’s really a personal preference. The Little Wonder is more effective at lifting matted leaves while the Billy Goat moves dry leaves better over open areas. Durability: B+ I was a skeptic at first when I saw the plastic housing. However, it has held up very well. For the smaller units, the Subaru is a great option. For the larger units, the 13hp Honda is ok. Billy Goat should really consider offering a 14hp Vanguard or Subaru option. Handling & Balance: B+ For its size, the Billy Goat is a pretty lightweight unit. It is physically very big and a bit bulky. However, it pushes well with its large tires. Maintenance & Ingenuity: B+ Billy Goat is attempting to improve the old “push blower” design. The plastic housing aim and shoot discharge option are both very innovative. Their 5-year housing warrantee is very comforting.
