Whisper Aero Now Accepting Pre-Orders of Tone T1, The Aerospace Technology Powered Quiet Leafblower

Whis­per Aero has announced the release of pre-orders of its much antic­i­pat­ed Tone T1 Leaf­blow­er at the Con­sumer Elec­tron­ics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

The com­pa­ny is pio­neer­ing a more com­pelling and con­nect­ed future by deliv­er­ing clean­er, qui­eter, and more effi­cient propul­sion solu­tions. Today’s open rotor propul­sion sys­tems are chal­lenged by safe­ty, noise, and per­for­mance lim­i­ta­tions at all scales.

The hand­held leaf blow­er pairs break­through qui­et pow­er with pro­fes­sion­al per­for­mance, already rec­og­nized as a win­ner of the 2025 New York Prod­uct Design Awards.

Whis­per Aero has pre­viewed ear­ly silent leaf-blow­er pro­to­types to mas­sive mar­ket inter­est, and now it pre­mieres its first com­mer­cial prod­uct under its out­door air man­age­ment brand Tone.

Mark Moore, CEO of Whis­per Aero, said: “Whis­per Aero was found­ed on a pas­sion to achieve a qui­eter world, in the air and on the ground. The Tone T1 Leaf blow­er is the first prod­uct to use aero­space-grade tech­nol­o­gy derived from my years at NASA, where I pio­neered elec­tric air­craft.

“The T1 achieves break­throughs not only in ultra-low noise but also with high­er effi­cien­cy to pro­vide longer bat­tery run­time.  It’s also the most pow­er­ful hand­held — com­pare us to any oth­er Leaf blow­er, and we lit­er­al­ly blow them away!  Help us make neigh­bor­hoods qui­eter now, while we make air­craft qui­eter in the future.“

Pow­ered by Whis­per Aero’s Ultra­Qui­et™ propul­sion tech­nol­o­gy, the T1 pro­duces 880 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and 25 new­tons of blow­ing force, out­per­form­ing lead­ing gas hand­helds by 60 per cent.

At peak thrust, it oper­ates at only 52 dB(A), which is approx­i­mate­ly 40 per cent qui­eter than the strongest elec­tric blow­ers avail­able today, address­ing noise chal­lenges with­out com­pro­mis­ing the per­for­mance required to keep com­mu­ni­ties clean.
 
Peo­ple every­where want qui­eter, clean­er tools that respect their space. Across the Unit­ed States, the shift away from gas-pow­ered leaf blow­ers has accel­er­at­ed. In 2021, more than 100 cities took action to fun­nel what has grown into a sweep­ing move­ment that now reach­es across entire states.

As states like Cal­i­for­nia and Col­orado phase out gas-pow­ered lawn equip­ment, new city reg­u­la­tions have emerged with HOAs, neigh­bor­hood groups, and school dis­tricts intro­duc­ing qui­et hours to pro­tect dai­ly rou­tines. 

Whis­per Aero COO Ian Vil­la, added: “Only by rethink­ing the core of how a blow­er moves air can a new class of qui­et, capa­ble tools rise to meet the expec­ta­tions of mod­ern com­mu­ni­ties.

Tone T1 is a solu­tion that offers dis­creet oper­a­tion while enhanc­ing per­for­mance, serv­ing both pro­fes­sion­al and res­i­den­tial needs, oper­at­ing com­fort­ably in neigh­bor­hoods, hos­pi­tal­i­ty envi­ron­ments, and shared spaces.”

High­lights include:  

Aero­space-Engi­neered Ultra­Qui­et™ Tech­nol­o­gy: With a patent­ed fan and motor sys­tem engi­neered for high air­flow and low noise, the T1 is built around a next-gen­er­a­tion elec­tric propul­sion sys­tem orig­i­nal­ly devel­oped for Whis­per Aero’s air­craft pro­grams. 

ToneShift™ 5‑Speed Con­trol Dial:  Five smart modes make the T1 feel like five blow­ers in one. Each mode sets an intel­li­gent ceil­ing, while the vari­able-speed trig­ger gives you smooth, con­tin­u­ous con­trol.

Tone­Lock™ Trig­ger: Tone­Lock™ secures pow­er set­ting to reduce fatigue, stay con­sis­tent, and fin­ish the job faster. For more thrust, jump to Tur­bo.

Inte­grat­ed LED Night Light: Work peace­ful­ly at dawn, dusk, or low-light envi­ron­ments with a built-in 700 lumen light that doesn’t dis­turb neigh­bors. With a 4,000 Kelvin and 95+ CRI Cree LED emit­ter, nat­ur­al light illu­mi­nates the way. 

54V, 5.0 Ah Li-ion High-Capac­i­ty Bat­tery Sys­tem: A long-last­ing, swap­pable bat­tery pro­vides extend­ed run­time with no cords and no fumes. Oper­ates for up to 50 min­utes in Eco mode.

Light­weight & Ergonom­ic Design: Bal­anced com­fort dur­ing long ses­sions with less fatigue and easy for any­one to lift, hold, and maneu­ver.

With the first T1 batch­es ship­ping in Sep­tem­ber 2026, reserve with a ful­ly refund­able $100 deposit at toneoutdoors.com

If you are plan­ning to attend this week’s CES Show in Las Vegas, you can Expe­ri­ence the Tone T1 at Booth #8177, North Hall. The event start­ed yes­ter­day (Tues­day) and runs until Jan­u­ary 9th.
