We tested 57 blowers. Scott, can sweep them into a pile and Consumer Reports tested dozens of them. Debters testers used this to see how long it took to clear. They embedded leaves in the lawn and covered them with dust to check how well the blowers loosened the debris. Hand held blowers are easy to use if you can reach an outlet. Some of the electric power blowers blowed them as fast as the best gasoline blowers but at half the price. The top pick is toro a best buy at 75. A bonus is it can vacuum the leaves, too. If you need on go a distance, gas powered blowers left you move without a cord. In our test the top blowers got it done fast but they need fuel and require maintenance. For 150, this is the best buy and it is not as noisy as many of the other gas blowers. Another option is a backpack that shifts the weight from your arms to the shoulders. Backpack cost more but if you have a large area to clear, having the weight on your back makes it easier. Consumer reports recommends this as a best buy, at 200 there is a small fan that is mounted side s ways so it funds like a bigger blower. A caution, though, it is among the loudest tested but Consumer Reports said all can damage your ears so wear Hearing Protection when you use them.
