Hi,

These blowers are also so noisy more so than a lawn mower. I could
understand the use if they did not have to pick the leaves after blowing
them. We have one that picks the leaves and put them in bags. This year I=

use the rake; no noise just the pleasant noise from the leafs.

to vac them up, a rake is twice as fast as blowing them. For cleaning
grass clippings off of the pavement, what's the matter with a broom? A
broom is faster, too.
