Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

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

Accepted Answer

Leaf blowers with a max air speed of 225 MPH or greater 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.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

An adjustable speed feature allows you to vary the airflow to tackle tasks like gently clearing flower beds versus powerfully moving wet leaves. The turbo 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.

Question 4

I have a large property with lots of mature trees. What level of leaf blower max air volume should I consider?

Accepted Answer

Consider leaf blowers with higher max air volume in the 400 - 500 CFM range or 500 or greater CFM for larger properties with heavy leaf fall. These blowers provide the power necessary to move large piles of leaves quickly. They can also handle tougher debris and wet leaves more effectively, reducing yard work time.
