Neighbor’s tree dumps leaves all over my concrete patio, every week. Rake doesn’t work well on concrete, doesn’t fit in every crevice the leaves fall in around my yard, and also takes awhile. Leaf blower does the job in 5 minutes. If you’re faced with this problem, you’ll pick the leaf blower over using an awkward rake for 20 minutes every week.

Also, leaf blowers are now battery powered, so concerns about gasoline emissions are not as much of a factor.

Battery-powered silent leaf blowers. We really are in the future.
