The highest power to weight ratio in its class

From landscaping and property maintenance professionals, to do-it-yourselfers tackling fall leaves, having the right equipment for the job is crucial. For years, you have had to choose between bulky, noisy, heavy backpack blowers or small, underpowered handhelds, or even manually raking leaves.

“We are excited to introduce the new SOLO 468 Backpack Air Blower! It lets you enjoy the power of a full-size backpack blower, with the benefits of compact, lightweight design at 18.5 lbs,” Jim Cherrybone, Solo’s Business Development Manager, said.

The 468 is ideal for leaf and trash clean up in office parks, warehouses, school grounds, stadiums and residential spaces. With its powerful 66.5 cc engine, this little giant generates a fan air volume of 824 cfm. This makes the 468 the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class.

SOLO set out to design a quiet, powerful, durable and efficient backpack air blower with a great price-to-performance ratio as well. And that is just what we have done with the 468 with its large 0.37-gallon capacity fuel tank coupled with low fuel consumption and reduced emissions. The aluminum crankcase and high-quality engine components deliver significantly increased power output, even under high temperature operating conditions.

This increased engine performance converts to higher air velocity, but we didn’t stop there. Ergonomics and ease of use were essential in the design. The 468 contours to your back and features adjustable padded shoulder straps for extra comfort. It is one of the lightest backpack blowers in this motor class.

Whether you are maintaining the grounds of large facilities, running a landscaping crew or just keeping your home free of leaves and debris, you can rely on the 468 Backpack Air Blower from Solo...the better choice, since 1948.
