"Power: First and foremost, you want something that will get the job done, and be faster than doing it by hand. When it comes to power, it's easiest to look at maximum air speed. This is typically measured in MPH in the US and some of these go up to 200 MPH. CFM: The other indicator of power is CFM or cubic feet per minute."
"Battery life: For electric leaf blowers, the biggest downside is battery life. Many of these won't last longer than 20 minutes on high speeds or 90 minutes on the lowest setting. Some, like the ones we've selected, are better than others on this front. Weight: Most leaf blowers require you to carry them in one hand. This means they should not only be light, but evenly balanced as well."
"Noise level: dB (or decibles) is used to measure sound levels. 50-70 dB is pretty reasonable when it comes to leaf blowers. Anything above 100 and it's starting to get loud in here. Ease of use: How many buttons does it have? Are they easy to push when you're also trying to blow leaves? Does it have dials as well? All things to look into when determining which leaf blower to buy. You want something you can pick up and start using, with little to no learning curve. Gas or Electric: This is the ultimate question."
Power is measured by maximum air speed (MPH) and air volume (CFM), with some blowers reaching up to 200 MPH and CFM indicating comparative strength. Battery life limits electric blowers, often under 20 minutes on high or up to 90 minutes on low, though some models perform better. Most blowers should be light and evenly balanced for one‑hand carrying. Noise is measured in dB; 50–70 dB is reasonable while above 100 dB is loud. Ease of use involves simple controls and minimal learning curve. Gas models avoid battery limits and are more powerful for large jobs, while electric units are quieter and more environmentally friendly.
