Re: Leaf blower/vacuum.

I have two. The first is a cheap blower/ vac, bought from Screwfix, I think, it does the job but as people have said it is quite heavy, the other one is a Ryobi cordless one but is a blower only, I bought this for drying the car, after washing, but have used around the garden and is light and easy to use, just be aware that ryobi sell only the body and you have to buy the battery and charger separately although there are deals that sell the complete kit, just depends on your budget..

Re: Leaf blower/vacuum.

We live in the forest and have a large lot so we use a Stil leaf blower. It’s gas powered and sits on your back like a back pack, which is great cause it is a bit heavy BUT it saves soooo much time. Lets face it, raking leaves at any age is tough. Raking leaves when older isn’t fun at all. These truly are life savers.
I wouldn’t want to be without one.
