We tested 27 electric leaf blowers (including 17 cordless) in The Lab in Des Moines, Iowa, where we methodically evaluated each unit’s ease of assembly and use, battery life, noise levels, and effectiveness. They're perfect for clearing leaves from small yards or yards with very few leaf-shedding trees.” Speaking on the benefits of cordless leaf blowers (specifically battery-operated options), Deane Biermeier, a member of The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board says: “Although cordless leaf blowers are less powerful than corded or gas-powered models, there is virtually no maintenance to perform other than charging the batteries. This relatively lightweight tool can help reduce the hassle of your fall yard work and let you tackle clearing leaves and debris from different parts of your outdoor space without dealing with an extension cord. If you dread the inevitable leaf-raking that comes with fall, you may want to consider investing in a cordless leaf blower.
