Best Leaf Blowers In 2022

The Black+Decker LSW221 isn’t a heavy-duty leaf blower. If you’ve got acres of land, this isn’t the machine for you. However, if you’re looking for a lightweight, low-noise, and affordable leaf blower to keep your garden clean, keep reading. One of the most important things to note about the  Black+Decker LSW221 is how much it weighs. At just 3.7 pounds, you can easily hold it in one hand for an extended period of time, even if you’re not a professional weightlifter. You don’t have to spend loads on a backpack leaf blower to get the job done. 

Despite its lightweight design, it still packs a lot of power. With wind speeds of up to 130mph, you get shift wet leaves and more without having to bend down or get the rake out. All of this is powered by a 20V Max Lithium-Ion battery, which comes included in the price. 

The DCBL729P1 leaf blower from Dewalt is ideal for small to medium-sized jobs around the house like clearing the deck or patio in the spring or fall, clearing leaves away from the garage door, and clearing the veranda. It weighs less than 10 pounds, moves up to 400 CFM of air, and runs on a 20V lithium-ion battery. The DCBL720P1 is also a great tool to keep in the truck and use for cleaning up a worksite at the end of the day. With the battery under the motor, the tool is very well balanced and easy to use. Though runtime on a device like this isn’t going to blow users away like dry leaves it should be more than enough to complete any of the above-mentioned tasks with power to spare. Battery and charger included. And to keep your lawn neat, check out our cordless lawn mowers review.

We expect Worx to produce high quality power tools and their Turbine 12 amp leaf blower does not disappoint. It has one of the most powerful electric motors in its class, capable of moving an impressive 600 cubic feet per minute of air at 115 MPH. While it’s not the best looking electric leaf blower on the market we can overlook that because it clears big walkways like a gas-powered blower. The Turbine fan technology allows the blower to get the most out of its electric motor and the best news is you won’t have to pay through the nose for all this convenience and performance.

Most people don’t need to use a leaf blower all the time and when they do it’s usually just to perform a quick job like clearing leaves off the porch or away from the garage door. For those small but important jobs the Black+Decker LB700 Blower is the answer. At 4.4 pounds it’s one of the lightest leaf blowers out there in any category. But with its 180 MPH speed and its ability to move 180 cubic meters of air per hour it’s a compact dynamo that will make short work of those occasional jobs. And if you do decide to take on a bigger tasks you don’t have to worry about the LB700 battery dying on you, because this is a corded leaf blower.

This is not a leaf blower for those with large properties. This is essentially designed for people to blow off their patio or deck from time to time. And it does a great job of that. It’s small enough to store under the sink, weighs a scant 3.9 pounds and there are no fumes to contend with. The grip on the DUB182Z is one of the most comfortable we’ve ever tested and provides a nice, sure grip with very little effort. That’s good because the offset design is a bit clumsy no matter if you’re right or left handed. The DUB182Z kicks out a modest 91 CFM which is enough to clear the patio or the deck around the pool or the front porch.

The Poulan Pro PR48BT Backpack Leaf Blower is one of the most impressive leaf blowers on the market. As you might have guessed from the name, it fits on your back, which means you can work for longer. It’s really designed for people with a lot of space because you can go for hours with this machine. It has a 48CC 2-stroke engine, which can achieve 200mph wind. It will dislodge even the most stubborn leaves from the corners of your yard. Another amazing feature is the cruise-control function – you just select the size and you don’t need to pull the trigger, so there’s less chance of you getting RSI (repetitive strain injury). If you want a comfortable, super powerful, and reliable leaf blower, the Poulan Pro PR48BT is the way to go. 

With most every battery power leaf blower the 600 pound gorilla in the room is operational time. Some only provide 15 minutes or so and few will serve up more than half an hour. The Greenworks GBL80300 Cordless is the exception. When fully charged you’ll get up to 70 minutes of operational time, which is enough to handle any task around the house. But the GBL80300 Cordless doesn’t just run a long time, it’s also powerful as all get out, moving 500 CFM at 125 miles per hour. That’s absurd for an electric, battery power leaf blower. The cherry on this particular cake is that the GBL80300 generates only 60 decibels, so there’s a good chance it won’t run afoul of local noise ordinances.
