Target Audience
Primary Users:
Homeowners and renters who prioritize ease of use, comfort, and efficient performance—particularly women and older children/teens who regularly participate in yard maintenance.
This product is designed for users who may be underserved by traditional power tools, which are often scaled for larger hands and higher grip strength. Based on observed use patterns, women and children are frequently responsible for light yard work such as leaf blowing, yet existing products can feel bulky, heavy, or unintuitive to handle.

Positioned for everyday users, not professionals, aligning with a focus on accessibility and ease of us
Commonly used in family and residential settings, where women and children often participate in yard maintenance
The brand emphasizes user-friendly, intuitive design, supporting a product that prioritizes comfort and simple operation
