Can Anyone Reccomend Their Leaf Blower?
I looked at Lowes online and there are too many to choose from. TIA

Do you want gas or electric? Hand-held, or backpack? Ability to convert to a vacuum?

Just something simple enough for me to use to blow the leaves into a pile

I have a gas powered blower, but if I were you, I would look into the electric ones. They are much simpler to use, quieter, easier to start, etc. You just need a cord to reach everywhere you need to go, or get a cordless one, but they usually aren't very powerful, or last very long per charge.

Re: Can Anyone Reccomend Their Leaf Blower?
we got this one the other day
it's both a blower and vacuum. it works lol. that's all I cared about. I've used it twice so far.
it's not heavy and the bag holds a decent amount of leaves. you need to also buy an extension cord, so the total cost will be the price of the blower PLUS the exention cord (we have a large front yard to see needed a longer cord)
it goes from suck to blow

 Thanks, that looks great.
I didn't realize you can suck them into a bag on the unit. I thought I would just blow them in a pile and hand stuff them into the leaf bags

my DH just got one at HD it's gas powered so no need for cords. It blows and sucks. We don't even have any trees He wanted it to blow the grass clipping off the driveway and lawn mower (because the neighbors do it)

Re: Can Anyone Reccomend Their Leaf Blower?
hey - has anyone seen or bought the kind that looks like a lawn mower but it is a vacuum?? you can use it to actually vacuum up your leaves!! and your front walk way and your street. It's the coolest idea! i just wonder if it works as good as i would hope.
I didn't see one this expensive and jazzy, but how cool is this thing?
