Leaf Blowers

Leaf blowers make yard cleanup fast and easy, moving leaves, grass clippings, and debris off lawns, driveways, patios, and decks. Today’s models range from lightweight cordless leaf blowers for small yards to powerful gas leaf blowers and backpack blowers built for large properties and wet leaves after storms. Whether you need quick touch-ups or seasonal fall cleanup, a blower saves hours of raking and helps keep pathways safe and tidy.

Choose a power source that fits your routine. Cordless electric leaf blowers use lithium‑ion batteries (20V–80V) and brushless motors for longer runtime, lower noise, and zero emissions at the point of use. Plug‑in electric leaf blowers offer unlimited runtime for close‑to‑home work. Gas models deliver the highest sustained airflow for heavy, damp debris and acreage. Compare CFM (air volume) for moving piles and MPH (air speed) for lifting stuck material; many homeowners find 400–700 CFM and 90–150 MPH hits the sweet spot. Check battery amp‑hours (Ah) and charge times to match your daily schedule.

Comfort and control matter. Look for a variable‑speed trigger, cruise control, turbo mode, and adjustable nozzle lengths. Backpack blowers shift weight off the arms for longer sessions, while compact handheld blowers are easy to store and start. Noise ratings (dBA) and local ordinances vary, so check regulations before buying and consider low‑noise models for neighborhoods.

Extra features add value: vacuum/mulcher kits for collecting leaves, gutter cleaning extensions, scraper tips for matted debris, and quick‑swap batteries that work across lawn tools. Keep performance high by clearing air intakes, using fresh fuel or charged batteries, and storing tools in a dry place. Pair your blower with ear and eye protection, and use a dust mask on dry days. With the right leaf blower, you can reclaim weekends, keep curb appeal high, and maintain clean, safe outdoor spaces year‑round.
