When deciding whether or not to buy a backpack leaf blower or one that’s hand held, there are some things to consider. First of all, you should decide whether you need something as powerful as a backpack leaf blower. For people that have lots of trees or those operating a professional landscaping business, a backpack leaf blower is the only sensible answer. If you’re one of those people, don’t waste your money on a hand held blower. It’s a lot like trying to mow an acre of high grass with a 5 year old 21 inch push mower. It would take you all day to do and you’d be pretty tired and annoyed by then. Therefore, even if you’re just a homeowner with a lot of trees, do yourself a favor and go for the backpack blower. Hand held leaf blowers do have their place. This is true even for a lawn care business. They’re great for getting into the small places that are hard to reach. They also can handle dry grass better. It’s just easier and handier to use them in those situations. Now, if you’re on a tight budget and can only get one leaf blower; try to get a backpack blower. Even if you can only afford a middle of the line model, it will still have a lot more power than the handheld blowers. It’s better to visit the dealer in person so you can compare models in weight, balance and power. That’s the only way you’ll find the best one for you. For someone on an extremely tight budget, find a used backpack blower. These can be bought for very affordable prices and you’ll still have a better deal than if you went for a handheld blower. Even for the used models you should visit the dealer if you can. Otherwise, if you’re buying one online, check the feedback of the seller carefully. Either way, buy one that’s relatively new and not used up. Ideally, you should buy a demo model or from a going out of business sale. Those will still be almost new and not overly used. The backpack leaf blower is most likely going to be your best bet while using the handheld model as a backup.
