Can only speak from experience on the Shindaiwa T230. Bought it, use it, love it. Very reliable every time, plenty of power. No complaints from me and I will buy another in a heartbeat.

I've got both. Love both of them. Plenty of power to blow things around.

I have 2 shindiawa t230's and love and will buy them again when the time comes for replacement, I also have the shindiawa 500 blower and have no problem blowing leaves with it in fact I have one customer that I do not mulch the leaves on, I blow the leaves and pecans all in a pile collect and take home add the leaves to my compost pile and sell the 5 to 6 hundred pounds of pecans that I collect from there every year
