I would like to buy a petrol leaf blower for use around the house. It would
not be used a great deal, mainly for blowing grass clippings off the the
paths after mowing, and a few leaves blown in by the wind. I do have an
electric blower which needs a long extension cord, and therefore is not
really practical for the front yard.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Avoid the Talon brand at all costs!

I am currently using a Ryobi, it isn't too bad, but, if money is no option buy a Honda four stroke. Nice and quiet. Echo are also
very good. I had one but it was stolen.
