leaf blowers? [View all]

We have many trees. Staring to lose leaves in September and all through Thanksgiving.

We had a machine with an electric cord. OK on blowing, but as far as collecting - one leaf at a time. So OK, can use the blowing function only. But is heaving and we have to drag it around and first plug it on one side, then the other.

We are looking at a cordless machine but it appears that the battery lasts only... 15 minutes?

Will appreciate inputs.

Thanks
