NextBlower KING02

The NextBlower team launched its first product, KING01, on Kickstarter last year. According to the team, user feedback asking for more power shaped its successor, the KING02, which aims to address the familiar complaints about blowers: too weak, too heavy and awkward to use.

Four modes, topping out at Turbo

The maker rates the KING02 at a maximum of 1800g of air force in Turbo mode, which it says can clear leaves, stubborn dust and water. Three fixed-speed gears sit below Turbo, giving four settings in total, and an indicator light on the body shows the active mode.

Built-in battery

Instead of a swappable pack, the KING02 uses an internal 5000mAh×9 lithium battery. The maker claims up to 70 minutes of continuous operation on a full charge, and says the integrated design improves balance. Charging is done by connecting a dedicated cable.

Size and handling

According to the campaign, the blower weighs 0.942kg, roughly one-third of a typical 3kg-class blower, and measures 330x120x70mm, small enough to carry in one hand and store on a garage shelf or in a closet. The maker describes an ergonomic, non-slip grip intended to stay secure even with damp hands.

• Max air force: 1800g (Turbo mode)
• Modes: 4 (three gears plus Turbo), with indicator light
• Battery: built-in 5000mAh×9 lithium
• Runtime: up to 70 minutes continuous (maker claim)
• Weight: 0.942kg
• Dimensions: 330x120x70mm
• Materials: high-strength plastic and metal parts

NextBlower positions the KING02 well beyond leaf duty: drying a car after washing, clearing dust from window frames, around air-conditioner filters and between furniture, cleaning up campsites, drying tents and dusting carpet surfaces. The maker says the combination of high-strength plastic and metal parts balances durability with low weight and is designed to withstand drops and outdoor use.
