Leaf blowers Gas vs electric

If you are blowing leaves off grass.... get gas.
If you are just cleaning your sidewalk and driveway electric is fine.

These are strong enough to mow, chainsaw, trim, hedge, etc. I think my 150 mph cordless would do the job on any gutter, plus I can hold mine upside down without gas pouring out on my roof. I'm not sure if it would be lighter or not.
It is. Our house is surrounded by 50 year old trees, and it's enough to make me hate fall
I have a third of acre backing up to lots of mature trees. Our yard would literally be 30" deep in leaves, the whole width if I let it go.
I got rid of all mine 2 weeks ago and it's leafier now than it was then
Nobody has mentioned the redneck leaf blower? Shopvac on blower mode + extension cords = job done.
I have an acre with multiple large mature trees and I mow & bag my yard. I get the majority of the leaves and what's left is good mulch for the yard.
Have the Stihl Kombi unit with the blower and the battery powered blower. They both get the job done. I have the battery chain saw and battery weed eater so I have plenty of batteries without having to worry.
For the heavier duty stuff I bust out the Kombi unit and it works absolutely fantastically.

I bet i have saved 15 hours over the course of the year dealing with extension cords and what not. I just start it up and start walking around until all debris is under control.

Real people who care about the environment choose electric with cord. Also starts on first plug in and never runs out of gas.

The 4 100 foot extension cords needed make an electric leaf blower impractical.
How does your Electric Car work? Or do you bicycle everywhere?
I love my kombi. I have the blower, trimmer, edger, and cultivator attachments. Makes yard work super fun.
Sorry - I live on a humble city lot that is 75 by 100 feet , like most people - if I could afford the larger lots I would have a gardener and let them handle it.
Plus gas powered will likely quit after about 50 hours. my electric has so far lasted over 20 years.
