Claimed vs measured RPM
- 1Wolfbox
claims 150,000 RPM, measured about 24,800 RPM

- 4Duort
claims 350,000 RPM, measured about 83,000 RPM, less RPM than average
- 5Licorne
claims 350,000 RPM, measured just over 114,000 RPM, below average
- 6AC-27
claims 150,000 RPM, moved into the RPM lead at that point in testing but the exact measured figure is garbled in the transcript

claims 180,000 RPM, measured about 94,000 RPM, about the same as the Aukzon
- 8Aukzon
claims 180,000 RPM, measured almost 96,000 RPM, came up way short

claims 350,000 RPM, measured about 87,000 RPM
- 10Fulljion
claims 51,000 RPM, moved into second place behind the AC-27 at a transcribed 96,000 RPM (this measured figure is higher than the brand's own claim, likely a transcript error)
- 11Cagiwiru
claims 91,000 RPM, measured around 46,000 RPM on the highest speed setting
- 12Fresmol
claims up to 100,000 RPM, measured 94,250 RPM, the closest to its claim of any brand tested to that point

- 14Fanttik
claims 110,000 RPM, measured around 73,000 RPM, came up short
- 15Meudeen
claims 35,000 RPM, transcript renders the measured figure as 'around 81,00 RPM' which is ambiguous, likely a caption digit error

moved into the lead, finished second overall behind Wolfbox
- 4Duort2.41 seconds3rd
finished third overall behind Wolfbox and Mershgaya
- 5Licorne5 seconds
pretty good
- 6AC-27
transcribed as 62 seconds, though this figure looks inconsistent with the rest of the test (the video later says the Fanttik took about five times longer than the AC-27, which would put the AC-27 closer to a few seconds); flagged as a likely caption error, exact time unverified
- 7Degge4.27 seconds
described as performing like the Aukzon
- 8Aukzon3.65 seconds2nd
second place behind the AC-27
- 9V9 by Vogma4.79 seconds

- 13Yomile25.5 seconds
really struggled
- 14Fanttik12 seconds
described as about five times longer than the AC-27's time
- 15Meudeen
could not move the wood chips without a nozzle; with the nozzle it took 1 minute 34 seconds, by far the slowest of any brand tested
Air speed with nozzle
- 1Wolfbox
meter pegged very quickly, exceeded the maximum capacity of the tester, well over 200 mph
- 2Cooldovealmost67 m/s
(149 mph)
- 3Mershgaya70.1 m/s
- 5Licorne77.8 m/s
(174 mph), the nozzle really helped
- 6AC-27
using the smallest nozzle, which is pretty large, 51.1 m/s (114.4 mph)
- 7Degge53.8 m/s
(transcribed as 12.3 mph, likely a caption error)

(115 mph)
- 10Fulljion80 m/s
(178.6 mph)
- 11Cagiwiru80.9 m/s

- 13Yomile
exceeded the capacity of the tester at 85 m/s, over 190 mph
- 14Fanttik75.5 m/s
(168.5 mph), the nozzle really helped
- 15Meudeen56 m/s
the nozzle really helped
- 4Duortnot tested
- 9V9 by Vogmanot tested
How it was tested
- claimed vs measured motor RPM using an RPM meter
- air speed measured with and without a nozzle, in meters per second and mph, compared against a $15 canned air duster control
- wind force (grams of force) on a scale, compared against the canned air control
- air volume in CFM
- real world wood chip removal test, timing how long it took to blow about one liter of wood chips out of an open box
