Benefits of a Backpack Leaf Blower

Leaf blowers come in handy season after season. In the fall, you can use one in place of a rake to clean up your property, while in the spring, they make removing excess mulch, granular lawn fertilizer and debris from walkways and sidewalks a whole lot easier. Come summertime, they can whisk away grass clippings and waste left over after storms.

A backpack leaf blower gives you all the benefits of a traditional leaf blower but with a design that lets you get the job done with less fatigue. Since you wear them on your back, leaf blower backpack models keep one of your hands free, and they distribute the weight of the power equipment across your body to ensure your comfort.

Selecting a Backpack Blower

To choose the backpack blower that is right for your needs, there are a few things you should take into account.  

Size and Layout of Your Yard

If you have a large yard, a backpack gas leaf blower or electric leaf blower can be a great option, while a battery-powered backpack blower is often a good choice for smaller yards that require shorter cleanup sessions. Also, consider the layout of the areas that you need to clear. If power outlets aren't readily accessible, consider a gas or battery-powered backpack leaf blower.

Low Maintenance Backpack Blowers

Backpack gas leaf blowers tend to be more powerful, but they also require more maintenance because they need oil changes, filter replacements and more. If you prefer a backpack blower that is easy to maintain, an electric or battery-powered one may be a better solution for you.

Maximum Air Volume and Air Speed

For big jobs, a backpack blower with a high CFM or cubic feet per minute rating can help you clear larger areas at one time. The rating measures how much air exits the nozzle of a backpack blower at its highest setting.

If you need to clear away heavier objects, such as stones or bigger branches, pay attention to MPH or miles per hour ratings. They tell you the maximum speed of the air that backpack leaf blowers emit, and the higher the speed, the more likely a blower is to be able to move heavy objects out of the way.
