For 99% of applications, a corded electric blower with an extension cord is far superior than every other option.
I actually own one of these but never use it because extension cords are such a pain in the ass especially if you need to stretch it all throughout the yard. I really only bought it because my dryer duct was clogged with 20 years worth of lint and this blew it right out.
Sure, if you need less power and want to deal with the extension cord, and where you're blowing is within 100 feet of an outlet. Doesn't work well for gutters or large properties or houses with only 1 or 2 outlets outside.
Huh. I can't think of 297 other uses for a leaf blower, so I guess your 99% claim might be a bit....overblown.
How high are your fucking gutters?
? Not high enough to keep leaves from plugging them up. I mean, I could technically get it done with a huge extension cord, but that would be a terrible pain in the ass.
