What to Look for When Buying a Leaf Blower
By understanding these options, you can choose the best leaf blower for your needs and enjoy a clean, well-maintained yard.
How Powerful Is It?
There are two main ways of describing the power of a leaf blower model: cubic feet per minute (CFM) and miles per hour (MPH).
- CFM: Measures the volume of air the blower can move, with larger numbers meaning easier and faster clearance.
- MPH: Describes the maximum speed of the air flow, with faster speeds making it easier to move heavy, wet or compacted leaves and organic debris.
Handheld vs Backpack Leaf Blowers
When it comes to choosing the right leaf blower, it's important to understand the key benefits and differences between handheld and backpack models.
Handheld leaf blowers, like those from Ego, STIHL, Dewalt, Craftsman, and Milwaukee, are lightweight and easy to use, making them ideal for small to medium-sized yards. They are perfect for quick cleanups and can easily reach tight spaces.
On the other hand, backpack leaf blowers, such as those from STIHL and EGO, are designed for larger properties and heavy-duty tasks. These blowers distribute the weight evenly across your back and shoulders, reducing fatigue during extended use. Backpack blowers are more powerful and can handle larger volumes of leaves and debris, making them a great choice for professional landscapers and homeowners with extensive yards.
