Leaf blowers are favorites among homeowners because they let you tuck all your leaves into a neat pile for the yard waste bin.
The only real benefit of a gas blower over an electric blower is that it is easily refueled, while electric blowers must recharge, a process that can take 30 minutes or more.
Cord-based plug-in electric leaf blowers are perfect for decks, stairs, drive or garden areas close to the house for plug-in convenience.
For quick daily sweeps of patios, driveways and other hard surfaces, we recommend an 18-volt cordless blower. It is quiet, very light (only 5.5 pounds) and comes with two batteries (each with a 15 minute runtime).
Leaf blowing and vacuuming — If a 150-foot extension cord can reach where you need to blow leaves, a corded electric leaf blower will have enough power, without the bother of tending to a gasoline engine.
Unless you’ve outfitted your cordless leaf blower with NASA-level battery technology, you’re going to experience real run-times of 10 to 20 minutes at full throttle or high rpm.
For big jobs on yards up to half an acre — If you need to use a leaf blower beyond the range of an extension cord, a handheld gas leaf blower can get the job done. This is because electric cords can’t reach the outer portions of your driveway or garden.
For bigger yards — A gas backpack blower is easier to use for long work sessions; Popular Mechanics recommends at least a 40cc engine.
We recommend comparing leaf blower power (air flow) both by miles per hour (mph) and by cubic feet per minute (cfm).
Work-force in an outdoor power tool can be measured as air speed velocity such as a super-light cordless leaf blower out-putting at 75 mph or a gas leaf blower generating 225 mph surface clearing power.
Like Hurricane Hugo, some leaf blowers can generate wind velocities up to 225 mph! Blowing leaves away from a mature oak tree with a 3-foot diameter requires limited finesse and virtually no concern about damage to the tree from your leaf blower action.
Two-year warranties for residential use are standard for both electric and gas leaf blowers, but some are now offering homeowners five-year warranties on its gas leaf blowers.
For blowing leaves or light dirt off decks and small driveways, either a corded “electric broom” or a cordless leaf blower will get the job done. These blowers are the lightest you can buy, and they’re perfect for quick sweeps when a big gas leaf blower would be overkill.
Three cordless leaf blowers get good reviews. At only 4.4 pounds, it’s the lightest leaf blower on the market.
