Tone introduces T1 Pilot Program, bringing UltraQuiet performance to maintenance staffs

Tone, Whisper Aero’s outdoor brand, announced the T1 Pilot Program, an early access program that loans select commercial operators’ pre-production T1 Handheld Leaf Blower units for a 2-3 week on-site trial. The program is designed for organizations that require professional performance in environments where noise has a direct impact on the experience, including resorts and hospitality properties, golf courses, HOAs, universities and professional landscaping teams.

“In hospitality, quiet isn’t a nice-to-have – it’s part of the experience,” said Andrew Terajewicz, director of air management at Whisper Aero. “The T1 Pilot Program is built for operators who want their property to feel premium all day long and it gives teams a way to prove what changes when the noise is gone.” 

The program supports multiple purchasing pathways, including direct purchasing for hotels and hotel groups, alongside traditional commercial channels. Participants also receive priority access to production units when shipments begin in September 2026. 

Pre-production pilot units ship in April 2026, with a second pilot wave in July 2026. Trials are provided at no cost. Additionally, pilot participants will be prioritized for initial delivery allocation of Tone’s future Backpack Battery System, designed for longer duty cycles on large properties and shipping in Q2 2027. 

Experience the T1 Handheld Leaf Blower in person at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show in Orlando, Fla., booth #1135.
