I have a gas one. But I also work from home, so I use much less gas than the average person to begin with. I plan to replace it with an electric unit when this one quits.

Yeah, it should help some. It was taking my wife and I a fair amount of time to clean it all up, every weekend during the fall. Now, I can blow it into a huge pile in about 15-20 minutes. Then I can mulch it, add it to the compost, or just send it to the yard debris container. It was a bit pricey, but has saved me countless hours.

I have this one. It's hurricane force when turned up all the way. never had a problem pushing anything with it.

I also recently bought an electric hedge trimmer, which I love. Should have bought one years ago, it saves so much time compared to hand clippers.

I mostly clean them off the driveway, paths, and grass since they get slick as it's quite rainy here. I usually will try to mulch them and add them back to the flower beds, or compost most of what I clean up. I uave a few areas where I don't clean them at all. But the drive and paths are a must.

I want to eventually convert the front grass to a native habitat and am in the process of getting certified, but that takes time and we just started recently. Once it's mostly converted, I won't need to leaf blow that area any longer.
