Why is having an adjustable speed and turbo option on a leaf blower beneficial?

An <a href=”https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Adjustable-Speed/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z0ktz9?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">adjustable speed</a> feature allows you to vary the airflow to tackle tasks like gently clearing flower beds versus powerfully moving wet leaves. The <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Turbo/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z0ktyu?emt=plpfaq_2502_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">turbo</a> setting provides an extra power boost when needed, making quick work of stubborn piles and debris. This gives you greater control and versatility for all your yard cleanup needs.

What are the main types of leaf blowers, and which is best for a typical yard?

The three main types of leaf blowers are handheld, backpack, and wheeled models. Handheld blowers are the most popular for home use because they offer a good mix of power, portability, and affordability. They're great for efficiently clearing patios, decks, and lawns.

I'm just dealing with leaves on my small patio and driveway. Do I really need a super high air speed on my leaf blower?

A leaf blower with a lower maximum airspeed (under 150 MPH) is typically sufficient for smaller areas and light debris like dry leaves. These models are often lighter and more affordable, providing the necessary power without being overkill for basic cleanup tasks around your home.
