Little Wonder Optimax GX270 Blower Repair

The Little Wonder Optimax GX270 Blower is a walk-behind blower designed for moving stubborn debris, standing water, preparing asphalt or flat roofs for resurfacing, or any job that requires strong air. Walk-behind blowers are used to clear roads, rooftops, and other flat surfaces of dirt, debris, and standing water. They discharge air horizontally at ground level with significantly greater force than handheld leaf blowers.

The Little Wonder Optimax blowers feature large rectangular discharge chutes with adjustable deflectors to more effectively direct air currents for clearing debris. The Little Wonder Optimax GX270 Blower includes a solid-steel construction and split-stream air deflectors that are designed to blow air faster and farther. The blower includes remote discharge chute adjustment and a transport bracket that allows for tie-down during transport.
