You can use it to clear dead leaves in the fall, but the BlastBoss is designed for both outdoor and indoor use alongside three included attachments.The BlastBoss is similar in size to a handheld vacuum and weighs under 1.5 pounds. Image: SharkNinjaThe BlastBoss is available starting today through SharkNinja’s online store and Amazon for $149.99 in five color options including charcoal, dove, strawberry, sky, and sage. You can find battery-powered leaf blowers for much less than that, but the BlastBoss’ appeal is its compact and ergonomic design that weighs less than 1.5 pounds on its own. SharkNinja says the BlastBoss’ battery life will be up to 49 minutes, but that will vary based on the mode and how it’s being used.The BlastBoss’ accessories include a broom, a precision nozzle, and an extension wand increasing its reach.Image: SharkNinjaIt can be used on its own to blast food crumbs off a stroller or sawdust off a workbench, or you can use the BlastBoss’ variable speed trigger to reduce the intensity for dealing with dust on a desk or bookshelf without sending everything else flying.The attachable accessories include an extension wand for directing the blast under or behind furniture and appliances, a precision nozzle that focuses the airflow for smaller areas like window tracks, and a broom that enhances the effectiveness of your sweeping.The BlastBoss is available in five colors including dove (white), charcoal (gray), strawberry (pink), sky (blue), and sage (green). Image: SharkNinjaLeaf blowers are enjoying a bit of a design renaissance at the moment.Last November, Hoto announced a new leaf blower that looks more like a sci-fi prop than a backyard tool, while at CES 2026, the Tone T1 debuted with a design its creators claim allows it to operate up to 40 percent quieter than the competition.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Andrew LiszewskiCloseAndrew LiszewskiSenior Reporter, NewsPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Andrew LiszewskiGadgetsCloseGadgetsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All GadgetsNewsCloseNewsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All NewsTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularFor $200 more, you can get a MacBook AirThere is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter seriesThese retractable studded tires might save our roads, ears, and lungsSteve Jobs and the greatest run of products in tech historyVivo launches X300 Ultra flagship ‘designed for professional photography’The Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
