Why do I need a leaf blower?
A leaf blower is a powerful tool for moving leaves into one spot so you can dispose of them. They help you keep your property safe for those traversing around so they won’t slip on any wet leaves, and they can keep your lawn healthy by removing detritus and debris that could prevent photosynthesis and result in mold growth.

They’re especially popular on large properties, or on properties with many trees where a rake is simply not going to cut it.

What types of leaf blowers exist?
When choosing your leaf blower, you’ll want to opt for something that works for your purposes, and that fits the criteria you are after. Before you begin, it’s a good idea to make some decisions, such as what the top tolerable noise level is, the power you require, and your budget.

  • Electric vs gas powered model
    Gas blowers tend to be quite powerful, offering a lot of strength and higher blowing speeds. They also tend to have longer running times, making them useful for extended periods of use.

    If you’re looking for a quieter and more environmentally friendly option, you’ll want to look into electric leaf blowers. There are of course two types of electric models; corded or those powered by a battery and charger. 

    If you are looking to use it a long way from a power source, battery powered leaf blowers offer an eco-friendly alternative to gas powered models. The technology continues to improve; battery powered leaf blowers also tend to be quieter, have lower vibration, and still offer competitive power.

  • Cordless vs corded models
    A corded leaf blower doesn’t have an engine or a battery, so it will be lighter to carry, and may be a good value option. A cordless leaf blower tends to be what most people favour though, as it tends to be easier to maneuver, as well as probably offering more power. 
  • Backpack vs handheld blowers
    Handheld leaf blowers offer a good value option for smaller jobs. But if you’re looking to use your leaf blower for long periods of time, a backpack model will be more comfortable. We have reviews of backpack leaf blowers to help you decide which is best for you. There are also walk behind leaf blowers, but these tend to be commercial purchases.

FAQ

  • Should I buy hearing protection with my leaf blower?
    It’s important to use something to protect your ears from the sound produced by a leaf blower. You could go for ear muffs or opt for simple foam ear plugs.
  • Is there any other equipment I should buy to complement my leaf blower?
    It might be a good idea to pick up a pair of leaf grabbers to pick up the leaves once they are in a pile. You may also want to pick up a garden bag to deposit the leaves into.
  • How often do I need to service my leaf blower?

    A monthly service is a good idea to maintain your leaf blower so you can ensure the air filter is clear. Getting your fuel lines serviced annually will keep your blower safe and working.
