Will this work to blow leaves off my lawn? I hate raking!

It most assuredly will. I expected an electric blower to be under-powered, but I was wrong about this one. It's not intended to be a commercial-grade device, but it will blow leaves like nobody's business. For a utility blower that is used around the home once a week or less, you can't beat it for the price.

Our leaves are still on the trees so the answer is I don't know yet but I expect that it will.

It should blow the leaves as long as they are not wet and packed. This blower is extremely powerful for it's size and price. Actually has more force than our bigger gas powered one.

If you mean from a lawn, no, it is not a good tool for that. Best blower on the market, but blowing is what it really does best.

Probably won't be able to move large amounts of leaves esp. compared to a gas blower. But, Makita recently introduced a 36 volt model thatuses two 18-volt batteries. That may work. This blower is excellent for moving debris on smooth surfaces such as garage or deck floors.It's also good for quickly drying off any wet surface or for drying contact cement when used for laminating surfaces. I am very happy with it!

The mulching kit works great. You'll only have to rake if you have a ton of leaves, and even then I think you can just leave them. The leaves get chopped up pretty finely.

This is a fan not a high speed blower so it would not be very efficient trying to blow leaves..

It may be powerful enough to blow such debris, but not to vacuum it. Making mulch from twigs and acorns seems to me to be more what you'd expect from a wood grinder. I can say I really like my blower-vac and that I have not had any trouble using it while avoiding vacuuming up little rocks or whatnot that would damage it. For an older lady like myself, this is far superior to raking and bagging leaves.

It depends if the pine needles are dry or matted. If they are heavy I would say no. This is not a powerful blower. It's adequate for clearing sidewalks of grass clippings. Not much more.

Yes it will work well since you have lots of trees and this tool will mulch your leaves will fine and you can use the mulch leaves for your garden and plants and it uses less bags you should be ok you will like it I love love mine

Good question. It has enough power to blow a few leaves but not a pile. Try this: Use your hair dryer without heat and if that blows snow than it would work because it works better than a hair dryer!

No. Too small as compared to a leaf blower. It works fine on blowing water off a motorcycle but, any larger application would require more power.

I have only used it for a small time, I believe it will do the job, but it will take some practice using the rake to get the most out of it. The field I had a chance to rake was a couple acres , it did a fair job.

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

This blower will move a decent pile of dry leaves not a pile of wet leaves. I have an Echo PB-251 that is more powerful than this blower and it will not move a pile of wet leaves. If you are looking to move a pile of wet leaves you will not be happy with any hand held blower. If you are looking to move a few wet leaves you will be just fine with this blower. You need a powerful backpack blower if you want to move a pile of wet leaves.I suspect that some of the Stihl hand held blowers are more powerful than this blower.

I love this tool, but it is not my first choice for the grass problem you describe. Those grass roots radiate about 5 inches out from the clump, and you will have to cut through those roots all the way around and underneath the clump to get them out. A tool like a heavy duty serrated knife works better -- and much faster.

Yes....mine does an excellent job at mulching the leaves. No complaints at all. I don't use it for major clean-up, just around flower beds.

I've used this rake in to keep weeds out of my garden and it works great. I haven't tried it on heavy clay soils but I think it won't work well. The blade would probably have trouble cutting the soil and the whole rake may not be strong enough to endure that kind of punishment. You are better off using another tool to break up the clay. After the clay is properly mulched, this rake would work well.

I think it would be great for that. It is not powerful enough to be a leaf blower.
