If you’ve seen Ads for Bullseye Blower and contemplating ordering one, this review is for you. I – a stay at home mom of three – with handful outdoor cleaning tested this blower.
I wanted something simple and lightweight. Something that could help me tidy up the porch and clean the garage corners.
I actually purchased mine directly from the official website, bullseyeblower.com, because it wasn’t available at Amazon.com at the time I bought it. Here’s my brutally honest review.
About the Bullseye Blower
The Bullseye Blower is marketed as a turbo powered, handheld dryer and blower designed for outdoor use. The brands pitch it as this “supercharged air tool” that can blow away dust, leaves, grass clippings, sawdust, light snow and debris from hard to reach areas.
It is corded, lightweight, easy to hold and comes with interchangeable nozzles. It does not replace a full size leaf blower, but aims to be a smaller, more convenient version for quick tasks.
According to their marketing, it is strong enough to:
• dry cars after washing
• clean gutters
• blow out debris under patio furniture
• push away grass clippings
• remove light snow
• get into tight outdoor corners
Basically, a home maintenance helper.
My experience using the Bullseye air blower
When I unboxed it, I laughed because it was smaller than I imagined. That “turbo power” label had me expecting something a little more bulky. But I plugged it into my outdoor outlet, attached the nozzle and started testing it around the house.
Clearing Grass Clippings
This was the easiest test. I used it the day my husband mowed the lawn and there were clippings all over the porch steps. It actually did really well here. The airflow was strong enough to push the dry grass away without needing too many passes. For quick porch cleaning, it worked exactly how I hoped.
Dust and Small Debris in the Garage
Now this one is tricky. It blew out dust just fine, especially in the corners around storage bins. But when I got to the tiny rocks and slightly heavier debris kids drag in with their shoes, the Bullseye Blower struggled.
I had to hold it much closer to the ground and take my time. It did move them eventually but the power definitely dipped.
Car Drying
I really wanted this to shine here because drying a car with a towel takes forever. It did help with side mirrors, headlights and those sneaky crevices that hide water drops. It pushed out enough air to remove water beads, but not enough to dry large panels quickly.
So yes. It works. But not in a “wow this changed my life” way. More like “okay, that helped.”
Porch Corners and Tight Spots
This is where the Bullseye Blower impressed me the most. The small nozzle attachment gave enough focused airflow to blow out dust and dirt tucked into little cracks and corners that I normally ignore.
Behind the porch railing. The space between the wall and the planter. The tight corner by the garage door. All of these areas looked way cleaner.
Light Snow
We had a frosty morning and I decided to test it. It removed very light, powdery snow easily but anything slightly wet or thick would be too much for it. So this is only helpful in mild winter situations.
Gutter Test
The ads make it look like this will solve all your gutter problems but… no. It can blow off dry leaves close to the edge, but it cannot reach deeper or handle anything damp.
I still had to use my scoop and gloves. The blower barely helped.
Is Bullseye a good leaf blower?
In my opinion, It is not a great leaf blower.
A real leaf blower has stronger airflow, wider coverage and can push heavier debris across bigger areas. The Bullseye Blower is more like a small outdoor sweeper. Good for touch ups, not full yard work.
If you are expecting it to replace a traditional leaf blower, you will be disappointed.
Better Alternative
After seeing how unimpressed I was with the Bullseye, my husband got one off Amazon.com. This one is called DEGGE Brushless Leaf Blower Cordless, sold for $59.99. It’s sturdy, compact, and works better than the Bullseye.
It has plenty of power to clean the yard, garage, and any dusty or leafy areas. Its cordless design makes it comfortable to use, and the two long-lasting batteries provide enough runtime to complete all your cleaning tasks. The built-in LED light is very helpful in darker spaces. It’s lightweight, easy to assemble, and the motor is quieter than most others. It also has lights on it that will light up a big area. It also has an indicator on the battery to tell you if it’s a full charge or partial charge.
Fun fact it can blow the loose dirt and hair if you are brushing your your dog outside … we have a husky that we have to brush once a week. And it can dry off her fur.
Overall, it offers excellent value for the price
Pros and Cons of Bullseye hand held blower
Pros
• Lightweight and easy to control
• Works surprisingly well in tight corners
• Compact and easy to store
• Comes with multiple nozzles
• No assembly stress
Cons
• Too small for heavy outdoor tasks
• Struggles with wet debris, gravel or heavy leaves
• Power feels limited for big areas
Final Thoughts
The Bullseye Blower is not a bad tool, but it is also not the miracle device the ads make it seem like. The only advantage I can see is that it is much lighter than most blowers; it weighs less than 3 pounds with the battery installed.
It is good for blowing leaves off a flat, hard surface such as sidewalk, driveway or patio. It’s also good for getting leaves out of a tight space, such as behind the A/C. For blowing on grass, it’s no better than a rake, and you still have to rake to get the leaves it missed. The extension tool was impossible to install.
