Fall is a season of transition, and with that comes the need for some household upkeep.
When leaves, twigs, and debris accumulate in your yard and gutters, they become a recipe for disaster. Thick layers of leaves can smother your lawn, depriving it of sunlight, air, and nutrients. They can also leave you with patches of dead grass and a breeding ground for diseases and pests.
Meanwhile, clogged gutters can lead to water overflow. This can cause damage to your home’s foundation and eventually impact its structural integrity.
Staying on top of leaves can feel like a never ending battle. With a powerful and reliable leaf blower, you can show those leaves who’s boss while protecting your lawn AND safeguarding your wallet from potentially costly repairs down the line.
We assembled a list of 4 of our top leaf blower picks to help you conquer fall debris with ease:
STIHL BG 56 C-E Blower
STIHL designed the BG 56 C-E leaf blower for ease of use. This blower gives you effortless engine startup with the STIHL Easy2Start™ technology and a start/stop switch that reduces your risk of flooding the engine during startup.
Coupled with its high-performance engine, this leaf blower is ideal for homeowners who need something to help them tackle leaves and debris in their yards.
Husqvarna 125B Gas Blower
The Husqvarna 125B leaf blower is another fantastic option for homeowners. The 125B features a phenomenal power-to-weight ratio and ergonomic design to minimize strain on arms and wrists as you clear leaves and debris from walkways, lawns, and driveways. If you are looking for a blower that emphasizes power and comfort, the 125B is definitely worth checking out.
STIHL BGA 200 Handheld Blower
The BGA 200 is STIHL’s most powerful battery-powered handheld blower. It is ideal for low-noise environments and it features 3 power levels to help you handle whatever debris your yard throws at you. Professional landscapers and homeowners who need a blower that is built for prolonged use and stubborn debris on large properties should definitely check out this battery-powered beast!
Husqvarna 230iB Battery Blower
Husqvarna isn’t messing around with the 230iB battery-powered blower. This blower combines power and lightweight maneuverability for comfort during extended use. It even features a built-in debris scraper to make your life easier.
Husqvarna’s interchangeable battery system means you can easily swap in batteries from any of your other Husqvarna battery-powered equipment when you need to recharge. This blower is also a great option for those working in low-noise environments.
Cleaning Your Gutters
Traditionally, cleaning your own gutters means you’re up on a ladder scooping and clearing debris. But that’s not your only option! A blower with a gutter cleaning attachment can help extend your reach and make cleaning your gutters a breeze!
If you’re team STIHL, the STIHL Gutter Kit works with several STIHL leaf blower models (including the BG 56 C-E) and vacuum shredders to extend your reach, so you can effortlessly remove leaves and debris from your gutters from the comfort of the ground.
The set features a three-part blower pipe that gives you approximately 9 feet of reach, a straight round nozzle, two shorter angled pipes, and secure fastening clamps. Assembling and using the set is a straightforward process – simply connect the components to the blower pipe of your STIHL blower or STIHL vacuum shredder, and fasten them securely with the clamps. Even those challenging, hard-to-reach spots will no longer be a problem!
For those of you on team Husqvarna, the Husqvarna Leaf Blower Gutter Kit works with the 125B and 125BVx blowers and gives you four extension tubes, one pivot tube, and a specialized gutter nozzle tube. This is a ladder-free, convenient and effective solution for fall gutter cleaning, giving you a combined maximum reach of 12 feet!
Power Your Fall
With the right leaf blower in your arsenal, you can spend less time wrestling with rakes, up on a precarious ladder, or worrying about the health of your lawn, and more time enjoying the best parts of fall.
