Handheld Leaf Blowers Leaf Blowers & Vacuums Outdoor Power Equipment Yard, Garden & Outdoor Living
Handheld leaf blowers are a popular choice for homeowners who want to clear their yards quickly. More portable than backpack or walk behind models, they are much easier for the average person to handle. You can reach the difficult spots in your yard with a handheld model, where a walk behind model would be unable to fit. The smaller size also makes handhelds far less expensive than the more high-powered leaf blowers.

Handheld leaf blowers are available in electric, battery-powered, or gas models. The gas blowers are far more powerful and can let you go wherever you choose. Unfortunately, they will create more pollution and noise than the electric or battery-powered leaf blowers. Electric handheld leaf blowers are adequate for most household jobs, as long as your yard is not too large. You must always stay connected to your electrical cord, so your range is very limited. A rechargeable battery pack can give you the benefits of both types of leaf blower without too many drawbacks. You are limited by the duration of the battery, but you can walk far away during that time.
When shopping for handheld leaf blowers, consider the size of your yard and your physical condition. Backpack or wheeled blowers may be a better choice for large yards, women, or senior citizens. It may be difficult to hold the handheld leaf blower the entire time you are clearing your lawn, so assess your fitness level honestly. For most homes, the yard is small enough that this does not become a problem.
