Bet you're looking forward to spring, warm weather and entertaining in your home. But, maybe you're front lawn and backyard doesn't look so inviting. Winter leaves behind dead leaves, twigs and those spring berries can start to fall fast. If yard clean up's got you down, consider buying an electric leaf blower to make your life easier. An electric blower can make yard clean up in a small or large space more efficient, less time consuming and less frustrating. They come with powerful fans that blow leaves and debris into piles you (or the kids) can quickly remove. And many also have vacuums and bags you can attach to the blower.
The vacuum and bags simplifies yard clean up even more. Simply suck up the debris with a blower and you can quickly dispose of the leaves in eco-friendly yard bags. Some leaf blowers also have mulcher to turn those leaves and debris into mulch you can use to beautify your flowerbeds or nourish your vegetable garden. Electric blowers come with or without a cord. Cordless models are better for bigger areas because you're not restricted by the length of the cord. Most of them can be easily recharged from a socket in your home, and they're light and easily portable.
If you find you can't bear the weight of carrying around a leaf blower in your large yard, you can always choose a backpack electric leaf blower. Just slip it over your shoulders and you're ready to make your yard clean up nice and easy. Blowers with cords can make yard clean up in a tight area much quicker and easier than using a rake. Keep in mind, though, that if the cord is long, the leaf blower will be less powerful.
Many people find electric blowers are great for yard clean up. But, the noise level these machines create isn't so appealing. Remember, however, that as far as noise goes, electric blowers are much easier on your ears than gas leaf blowers. However, manufacturers and health professionals recommend wearing hearing protection when you use an electric leaf blower. Also, you may not be worried just about the messy leaves and debris below - on your lawn or in your backyard. Sometimes, it's the leaves and other waste that clog up your gutters or eaves troughs. You can also use your blower to clear away this mess during your yard clean up. Keeping your gutters clear helps to protect your home's exterior - and it's environmentally friendly.
Another benefit that electric blowers provide for homeowners is that they're low maintenance, unlike gas leaf blowers. The most you may need to do to your electric blower is clean out the tube on occasion to remove residue, and clean the brushes once in a while. To keep it working smoothly make sure you use a cord with the right voltage. If you are looking to save time and keep your yard looking spectacular consider investing in an electric leaf blower.
