How To Choose A Leaf Blower

Gas models are cordless, thus allowing the user to move freely around the property

or utilize the machine in various places, such as a public park or city street, without being restricted by the length of the cord or by having to plug the machine into an outlet. It also eliminates the concern of anyone tripping over the cord or the cord getting tangled around a tree or any other obstacle. The downside of the gas model is that the user actually has to purchase the gas to fuel the machine. This involves a trip to the gas station, which some people may not want to do.

Electric models are available either with or without a cord. While the corded model will provide unlimited use of the machine, it does mean that the area on which it can be used is limited by the length of the cord. The cordless model, which runs on a battery, means that the machine can be used anywhere, without limitations. However, it will only have power for the length of the battery. Once that runs out, it needs to be recharged. Many people have at least two batteries, so one can be in the blower while the other battery is on the charger, ready for use. Otherwise, with only one battery, the user may be forced to stop in the middle of a job and wait for the battery to recharge.

A convertible leaf blower, which may be either gas or electric, has the ability to turn the leaves and debris into mulch, which is an extra benefit and good for the environment. This requires a bag to be attached to the unit and it will funnel the leaves into the bag. The mulch can then be used in the garden or on flower beds. This also eliminates the need to bend over and scoop the leaves into a bag. Some models offer the ability to strap the machine onto the back, just like a backpack. Finally, since leaf bloewrs come in different sizes, weights, speeds and motor powers, there is one for any size yard and every budget.
