Quick verdict
A 26 cc two-stroke handheld rated at 380 CFM and 180 MPH, weighing 7.7 pounds dry, with a reduced-pull recoil starter and a soft-grip handle. It suits a driveway, patio and small lawn for a buyer who wants fuel power at an import price. The caveat is modest airflow, no stated tank size or mix ratio, and support that depends on the Amazon seller.
Strengths
- 7.7 lb dry weight is light for a gas handheld

Who this blower is for
The Relxxon 26cc handheld is an import gas blower aimed at the buyer who wants fuel power for a driveway, patio and a small lawn without paying Husqvarna or Echo money. The listing claims 380 CFM at 180 MPH from a 26 cc two-stroke, a dry weight of 7.7 pounds and a recoil starter the maker says needs half the usual pull effort. It is a light tool for light to moderate cleanup, sold under a brand with little track record in the US.
This review is based on the maker’s published specifications and on recurring owner feedback. We have not run this product ourselves.
What you get
Relxxon lists the blower with its concentrated tube and a soft-grip handle. The specification is a 26 cc two-stroke engine, 380 CFM of airflow, 180 MPH air speed and 7.7 pounds dry. The maker describes a reduced-pull recoil system, a focused tube for aiming airflow in tight spaces, and suitability for damp leaves, clippings, sawdust and light snow. Tank size, fuel mix ratio, blowing force in newtons, cruise control and runtime are not stated. The color is orange.
Blowing performance
380 CFM at 180 MPH is lighter than the Husqvarna 125B’s 470 CFM and in line with other 25 to 26 cc handhelds. It is adequate for dry leaves and clippings on hard surfaces, leaves on a small lawn, sawdust in a garage and a dusting of snow on a porch. The listing’s mention of damp leaves is fair for leaves on pavement and optimistic for leaves matted into turf. As with every import listing, treat the airflow as the maker’s figure, likely taken without the tube fitted.
Engine, fuel and starting
The selling point here is the easy-pull recoil, and lighter starting effort does matter on a tool that is yanked to life several times a session. It burns a gas and oil mix at the ratio the manual gives. The recurring complaints with import two-strokes are a carburetor that needs tuning from new, a thin manual and sensitivity to stale ethanol fuel. Buy fresh gas, use good two-stroke oil and a stabilizer, and empty the tank before storage.
Build, handling and ergonomics
At 7.7 pounds dry this is one of the lighter gas handhelds, which, with the soft-grip handle, is the main reason to pick it over a heavier branded unit. The focused tube helps around cars and beds. Owners of similar import blowers report the tube clamp can loosen and that vibration is noticeable, as it is on any small two-stroke without rubber mounts. Hearing protection is needed; no noise figure is published.
Living with it
Service is the standard two-stroke routine: air filter, spark plug, fresh fuel and winter storage with a dry tank. There is no dealer network, so support and warranty run through the Amazon seller and parts are generic small-engine items. If you can adjust a carburetor you will be fine; if not, a branded blower with a local dealer is the safer buy. Note the seller’s details at purchase.
Alternatives to Consider
The Husqvarna 125B offers more airflow and dealer parts for a higher price. The Echo PB-2520 is a light 25 cc handheld with a long US reputation. If the lawn is small and you would rather skip fuel altogether, a 40V battery blower from Ryobi or Greenworks matches this output quietly.
Verdict
Buy the Relxxon 26cc handheld if you want a light, inexpensive gas blower for a driveway, patio and small lawn and you are comfortable with basic two-stroke upkeep and seller-only support. Skip it if you need the clearing force for wet leaves on turf, or if a tool that starts reliably for years without attention is worth the extra cost to you.

Relxxon 26cc 2-Cycle Handheld Gas Leaf Blower, 380 CFM 180 MPH, 7.7 lb FAQs
Damp leaves on pavement, yes. Wet leaves matted into turf are beyond a 380 CFM handheld; that job wants a backpack or a stronger handheld such as the Husqvarna 125B.
The listing does not state a ratio. Follow the manual, use fresh gasoline with a quality two-stroke oil, and add a stabilizer if the blower sits between uses.
The maker says its recoil system cuts pull resistance by half compared with a conventional starter. Import two-strokes are still sensitive to stale fuel and may need the carburetor adjusted from new.
No. 7.7 pounds is the dry weight before fuel. A full tank adds roughly a pound, which is still light for a gas handheld.
