Default Cordless leaf blowers....

Who has what brand and how do you like them ? I have very little leaves here but a lot of sand. I have a corded leaf blower but am look for the ease of not having to bother when going from the 3 decks to the driveway and light snow too...

No idea how it would work with sand but my Dewalt 20v handles any leaves I put in front of it.

Only reason I went with Dewalt was the fact I have most of their tools and batteries but am happy with what it can do

I have a Greenworks one, 185mph and likely quietest on the market too.

I have a Ryobi. It's adequate. It was a gift. I would not have bought it on my own, but it's convenient.

I recently invested in a bunch of DeWalt 20v tools. No idea if their leafblower is any good but what I have is great. I've had a gas leaf blower for may years - half acre to deal with, but when it goes, I'll investigate a DeWalt. I have their 20v hedge trimmer it it rocks.

I bought a highly rated one on amazon. It would not do much. I don't have a problem with leaves so much but I do have pine straw on my deck. It would not move them. I doubt if the leaves have any moisture in them, It would not blow them far. I will not waste time with one again. It went back.

Ours is Black and Decker. Reasonable cost and it works well. We also have a corded Black and Decker blower which also mulches the leaves. Both get well used in the fall.

Well my echo is cordless (gas) 😂 lol. In reality I just bought the Ridgid one as I wanted one for drying the cars, let’s just say when I picked it up the box was so small I almost busted out laughing. Assembled it looks like a kids toy and the power is not much better. I’ll stick with my echo for drying the cars. I’m sure I can use it to blow out the planting beds etc and it was only $50.

I've got the same.. Not the most powerful, but it does what I need.
