How do I choose the right weight for a backpack leaf blower?

Opt for a weight you can comfortably manage for your yard work. Some weights we carry include <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Backpack/Adjustable-Speed/16-20/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z0ktz9Z1z1sof6Z1z1v0xl?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">16 - 20</a> and <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Backpack/Adjustable-Speed/Greater-Than-20/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z0ktz9Z1z1sof6Z1z1v0x0?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">greater than 20</a>.

What are some of the best-selling backpack leaf blowers?

One of our best-selling backpack leaf blowers is the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/p/ECHO-233-MPH-651-CFM-63-3cc-Gas-2-Stroke-Backpack-Leaf-Blower-with-Tube-Throttle-PB-755ST/100666160?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">233 MPH 651 CFM 63.3cc Gas 2-Stroke Backpack Leaf Blower with Tube Throttle</a>.

I see some leaf blowers with air speeds over 225 MPH. Is that really necessary, and what are the benefits?

Leaf blowers with a max air speed of <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/225-or-Greater/N-5yc1vZbxavZ2bctub?NCNI-5?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">225 MPH or greater</a> are ideal for the most demanding tasks, including quickly clearing large properties, moving heavy piles of debris, and removing stubborn debris like wet grass clippings or pine needles. While potentially overkill for basic tasks, this higher speed can drastically reduce cleanup time and make even the toughest yard work easier.

How long does the battery last on an electric leaf blower?

Battery life varies depending on the model and power setting used, but typically, you can expect anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes of continuous use. The battery might only be sufficient for larger yards to clear half of the yard before needing a recharge. To ensure uninterrupted blowing, consider purchasing an <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Power-Tool-Accessories-Power-Tool-Batteries/N-5yc1vZc809?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">extra battery</a>.
