Have you used one? I have a 20v and 60v dewalt blower. The 20volt blows, but it's not very strong. It works blowing out the garage and with minor clippings on the sidewalk / driveway that's about it. The 60v works better, substantially more power and it moves leaves. Both have horrible battery life when all is said and done. We're talking 20 minutes or so with 9AH batteries, and in the case of the 60v I get about 30 minutes on a 12ah FlexVolt.
Then theres the whole buying batteries, longevity of batteries, the power to charge etc. I would bet that the damage to the ecosystem from using gas blowers / trimmers isn't that big a difference and if equated in measurement of power and life, the gas far outperforms it.
Also, the Electrics are just as loud in most instances. Are they going to ban gas pressure washers next?
- jlmorton 6y agoNote that while it's annoying, it's certainly an option to plug-in the leaf blowers.
- jeffrallen 6y agoPlug in to a generator? :)
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoNeither of mine plug in, the only adapters available are third party on amazon and a few have less than stellar reviews. Namely, they short out and cause fires. I'd also be required to have a substantial amount of electrical cord length at our farm, like 1000 feet cables, which simply isn't feasible. I suppose I could throw the generator in the truck when doing stuff out there but I feel like that defeats the purpose.
