or mulch them, or out into the road for the street sweeper to collect them.
The fuck?

These are far from stupid. Noisy, a hassle sometimes, but not stupid

Well my job has an electric one. Which is always broke. Made me notice there are a lot of products that electronic versions of products that don't need electric versions. Like wine openers and can openers.

9. "leaf blower is a life saver" In response to Reply # 0
its windy when the sun sets out here. Which is prime yard working time. So after mowing and edging shit is blown every where. So I sweep it all in a pile and wind still blowing strays all over the side walk and drive way and neighbors walk way. I pick up the piles as best i can. Then blow the run aways back into the yard. Nice and easy. Saves me about 30 minutes of work.

11. "Those Novelty Burn Design Toasters" In response to Reply # 0
I've always felt like those were some of the corniest inventions, I'm not much of a toast person anyways but people wanting a burnt design or picture on their bread seems like a waste.
I can understand it's basically similar to people who make designs with foam with cups of coffee, cappuccino, espresso, cocoa cocoa, etc. but that's people who do them, not machines; but it's cute.

21. "Mine also vacuums the leaves after blowing into a pile. " In response to Reply # 0
I use the blower function to get the leaves all into a pile, and then hit reverse to suck them up and it mulches them into a bag.
Even just used as a blower, it’s WAY more efficient than using a rake. Especially if you have a big yard and have areas where leaves tend to get stuck.

actually... the whole practice of raking leaves is kinda dumb. You're essentially robbing your yard of free nutrients and ground protections that's needed during the winter months.

the lawnmower. But the leaf blower is really useful in the spots where leaves really tend to accumulate at my house. For example, right next to the house behind some of the landscaping I get piles of leaves which get caught there from the wind blowing them. I wouldn't be mowing an area like that at all. If I just left them there the sprinkler system could get clogged up. A couple minutes with the leaf blower fixes that.
