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.

The Resurgence Of The Rake: Sea Change Radio 8-2-11
 |
This week on Sea Change Radio, we talk about leaf blowers, one of the least eco-friendly items found in the garage or tool-shed of your average American. But in the past two decades these debris blowers have become sort of ubiquitous, almost completely replacing their peaceful, quiet, low-carbon-footprint predecessor, the rake. As the ecological sensibility around the country and the globe continues to evolve, will we see a reversal of this trend? If today's guests on Sea Change Radio have anything to say about it, the answer is a resounding, "Yes." First, host Alex Wise speaks with Gretchen Biggs, an environmental attorney and activist who's working to ban leaf blowers in Greenwich, CT through her organization Greenwich CALM. Then, we hear from Peter Kendall, a resident of a Bay Area suburb whose anti leaf-blower activism was recently featured in a full-length New Yorker article. Pour yourself a glass of iced tea, go ask your neighbor to stop blowing those leaves and dirt onto your stoop and listen to this week's show as Sea Change Radio advocates for the resurgence of the rake. |
