My stepson is not very good at maintaining gas powered lawn equipment and so I am thinking of purchasing for him a battery powered leaf blower as a Christmas gift.
Those of you who have one what are your recommendations.
Do you advise purchasing an additional battery for long sessions.

Never owned a leaf blower, but I am thinking about getting one. I have an outdoor boiler and was wondering if a blower is powerful enough to blow the snow off my wood pile?

I’m sure you can find a leaf blower to get the snow off your wood pile. I’d think as long as it wasn’t a super heavy wet snow it would work just fine. I’ve got a smaller stihl gas powered blower and I can just about blow a dog turd on my neighbors house and they are a good ways away.

Only works on light fluffy snow for a while till the air coming out starts to melt the snow enough that it clumps and won't blow off. Broom works way better. |

Ryobi battery blower, and echo gas blower. How do you like your Ryobi blower? I just ordered one for my wife. She can't start any of the 5 gas powered blowers I have. I told her I would get rid of the leaves as soon as deer season was over, but she insists it has to be done now. Maybe I can get her to clean the gutters out also before season is over!!!!!LOL |

It’s ok for small job( sawdust, dry leaves etc) but if I have a bigger job I go with my echo blower. Don’t think the ryobi would be good for gutters unless they make a more powerful one then I have. |

If he is close to the house just get a corded one and an extension cord. Otherwise the battery will never charged.
I am pretty sure we got it from Lowes. Blows leaves out of the flowers, around the house and the patio. YMMV.

I went with ego for the 180mph blowing power. The one above is 100 and I am sure does a fine job

Never had any battery yard type tools but if it says Sthil on the side I’d say it’s probably good every thing I’ve owned by them has been very reliable and long lasting my weed eater is 20 years old still runs like a top chain saw same way it’s probably 20 plus years basic upkeep is all I’ve done

Have a stihl backpack gas bought in 2015. No maintenance other than filling up the gas tank. I upgraded from a hand held and it is so much nicer. But if he doesn't have alot of area or leaves a hand held is not bad.
