Makita BHX2500CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 24.5cc Handheld Blower

My Makita Leaf Blower arrived quickly using Amazon's Prime Service. Even though the machine is new, and built in 2007, it started right up on the third pull. After that, it quickly starts on the first or second pull. There is no hesitation once it starts and from there on it just purrs like a big cat. Don't be fooled by the 145 MPH air speed from this tool. I thought it was going to be underpowered. But most leaf blowing tasks can be done at idle or 1/4 throttle. I think this is because when you carry the tool around, the nozzle is always close to the ground. Only when encountering wet leaves I had to use more power from the rather quiet engine. Oil (10W-30) is not included. Being a 4 cycle engine, no oil and gas mixing is required. The manual is poorly translated from Japanese, but adequate. At 10 pounds (wet) and with a sore elbow, I had no trouble doing my yard and blowing leaves from inside the garage. You can even blow away pesky cobwebs off windows and dry your car.

Leaf Blower Vacuum LSW20 20-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Sweeper,Includes 20v Battery

Black and Decker LSW20 20-Volt Lithium Ion Cordless Sweeper,Includes 20v Battery

Already own a powerful electric blower and an even more powerful gas blower that can blow heavy piles of leaves in the fall. However, when I had a new patio installed this summer, I wanted a lightweight cordless blower where I didn't have to worry about the electrical cord getting wrapped around the legs of my patio tables and chairs. After some research I purchased this unit and am glad that I did. Here is why I like this.

1. Assembly is simple. Just put the two pieces of the nozzle together, attach to the main unit, then attach the battery pack after it finishes charging. A green light blinks during the charging process and turns solid green when charging is complete. You can leave the battery in the charger after charging is complete without harming the battery, so that way you always have a fully charged battery. Taking the battery pack on and off is simple and effortless.

Leaf Blower Vacuum WORX WG509 Electric TriVac Blower

Better by Design

The WG509 has a 2-stage system that delivers an 18-to-1 ratio of fine mulch. For TRIVAC owners, gone are the back-breaking days of manually raking leaves by hand and loading them into paper leaf refuse bags. TRIVAC speeds the process by reducing leaf piles into fine mulch, which can be transported to the curb or compost bin, or scattered as mulch beneath shrubs and trees.

Unlike conventional blower/vacs, the WORX vac comes with a unique angled tube with a curved tip. This tube design is great for vacuuming leaves in hard-to-reach areas, such as beneath decks, and patio furniture, fence lines, behind central A/C systems and other limited clearance areas.
