Question 1

What kind of leaf blowers do landscapers use?

Accepted Answer

Professional landscapers and groundskeepers often use walk behind or ride-on leaf blowers for clearing large areas quickly. For tighter areas and spot clearing, backpack styles are a popular choice.

Question 2

Is it better to have more MPH or CFM in a leaf blower?

Accepted Answer

MPH and CFM work together- one should not be significantly higher than the other. To get the best performance from your leaf blower, look for a model that has high capability in both CFM and MPH.

Question 3

Is a walk behind leaf blower hard to maneuver?

Accepted Answer

Most wheeled leaf blowers have large wheels that make them easy to push over grass, gravel, and other surfaces. Some models also have a swiveling front wheel that makes turning corners, following curves, and turning around easier.
