class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already have a battery and charger in place, buying the bare tool is pretty cheap considering the performance you get for your money. If, on the other hand, you need to buy everything in one package, it\u2019s borderline expensive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coming in at just over 14 pounds including the battery, you\u2019ll be able to slip the blower onto your back without fatigue setting in. You\u2019ll enjoy all of the freedom of movement that comes with a cordless unit but you will need to think about run time\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lithium-ion batteries are a distinct improvement on the old nickel-cadmium workhorses but they are still far from perfect. Under light use at a low speed, you should get around 30 minutes of run time on a single charge. One way to get around this is to purchase a second battery but that obviously ratchets up the cost. That said, charging time is only 30 minutes so if you don\u2019t mind breaking off for a cup of tea mid-flow, it\u2019s not the end of the world when you run out of suction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our best advice is to angle for the Greenworks only if you have a smaller garden and leaves from just a tree or two. For heavy-duty work in a big yard, check out one of the gas backpack blowers we review instead.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Performance is surprisingly strong for a battery-powered blower. The air flow is rated at an extremely impressive 580CFM which puts it close to many gas models. The air blows at a rapid 145mph so you\u2019ll get a lot more bang for your buck than you\u2019d get with a handheld blower. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The brushless motor starts up at the press of a button sidestepping all the hassle involved with a gas blower. There\u2019s an ergonomic trigger that allows you to adjust the speed according to the situation. Running this as slowly as you practically can will cut down on noise while also prolonging the length of duty you\u2019ll get on a single charge. If you have a larger and more repetitive job to take care of, cruise control is a wonderful touch.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greenworks does itself proud on the warranty front. Offering you coverage for a full 4 years, you really can\u2019t ask for much more in terms of a guarantee of quality. After all, no manufacturer expects to lose out by serving up these generous terms. Look after this blower well and it will last you for many years of leaf blowing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We should point out a very small flaw where some users have reported a degree of lag in hitting high power from start-up. Bear this in mind and expect a second or so before you reach full steam. This minor gripe aside (along with the run time issue that blights all cordless electric appliances of any stripe), there\u2019s very little else we can say to knock this fine backpack blower.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Take a swift look now at where the Greenworks backpack blower stands and falls before deciding whether to pony up for this superb piece of

If, however, you don\u2019t mind getting your hands dirty or undertaking a bit of routine maintenance, you\u2019ll enjoy all the rewards of a powerful gas blower without needing to spend a fortune. Kicking out 48cc, this blower is suitable for heavier-duty work and works well in larger gardens since you won\u2019t have the same run time limitations as you\u2019ll get with a cordless electric variant.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air flow is rather underwhelming for a gas-guzzler coming in at less than 500CFM. Still, the speed of the air blown out tops 200mph and we can\u2019t knock the overall performance. You\u2019ll be able to use the variable speed throttle and match the pace of work to the application at hand for superior results and a longer lifespan not to mention less noise if you keep it dialed back. We should point out that when running at full clip the Poulan Pro is not the quietest blower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nozzles are nicely angled so that even if you need to dig out leaves that have worked their way into the ground, this blower will take everything in its stride without feeling overburdened.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build quality is first-rate and the frame feels very solid. The trade-off for this is that the Poulan Pro tips the scales at over 20 pounds so it\u2019s not the nimblest blower on the block. Make sure you\u2019re comfortably wielding this kind of weight to avoiding buying a blower that will remain unused in the toolshed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This blower is not just built to stay the distance but it feels like a pleasure to use as well. The padded straps on the harness are simple to adjust so the unit fits closely whatever your size. The backpack arrangement distributes the weight evenly so it doesn\u2019t feel overly bulky despite its less than lightweight nature. The non-slip handle is comfy enough to grab hold of for prolonged spells without undue discomfort setting in.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This blower, although very competitively priced, is cut out for larger gardens or even lighter-duty commercial work. While in life you usually get what you pay for, there\u2019s also an exception to every rule. The Poulan Pro is a classic example of a cheap product that punches well above its weight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you want to suck up leaves into neat piles, clean out your clogged guttering, blast your soiled workshop or even get rid of snow in the winter, investing in the Poulan Pro gives you the opportunity to deal with a broad spread of applications in one neat package.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although not the best warranty in terms of length, you\u2019ll be covered for 2 years after purchase which is more than you could expect for a budget gas blower and nothing to complain about.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Glance now at the principal pros and cons before we drill down with our verdict on the Poulan Pro backpack

While some other blowers might boast a higher air flow rating \u2013 the Husqvarna nudges 500CFM &#8211; or slightly more raw speed, this blower is more than up to any reasonable job you throw its way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The engine is not just effective but efficient into the bargain. You\u2019ll enjoy lowered emissions and improve fuel consumption while being able to enjoy the ultimate in power and speed when conditions dictate.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fuel tank is generously sized and you\u2019ll be able to fit over 40 ounces of gasoline in so you won\u2019t need to keep breaking off in the middle of your work. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re dealing with bigger clean-up projects, the cruise control common to most blowers is a feature you\u2019ll appreciate. Focus on the job at hand without worrying about constantly manipulating the speed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The harness comes with shoulder straps and a hip belt so everything sits nicely in place and is padded for your convenience. This set-up is expressly designed for an even distribution of load and comes ventilated so your back doesn\u2019t end up saturated with sweat or strained as you make light work of all rogue foliage in your garden.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting a gas blower can be tiresome but Husqvarna has simplified the procedure nicely. The air purging makes sure there\u2019s no air lingering in the carburetor or fuel system rendering start-up a straightforward affair.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the warranty could be more generous, there\u2019s an inducement to extend this up to 4 years. In order to qualify, you need to purchase a trio of 32-oz pre-mixed fuel when you buy your blower so think of this as a money-saver also guaranteeing further peace of mind. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>We normally frown upon this type of hard sell but let\u2019s face it, you\u2019ll need the fuel anyway so you might as well capitalize on this deal for the double win.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-16b6359a

If you\u2019re already part of this family and fancy buying the bare tool, the DeWalt comes in at a pretty commendable price point. If you opt for the package with 2 batteries, it\u2019s an expensive undertaking. That said, you\u2019ll still save money over a 3 year period when compared to a gas blower with its associated running costs.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll have room for a pair of batteries with this blower. Each of them will yield up to 20 minutes of run time and that\u2019s operating at full clip in challenging conditions. You\u2019ll bleed even more life from them if you reduce the power and you\u2019re engaged in light leaf blowing duties. You\u2019d be well advised to do this since charging each battery takes a couple of hours meaning 4 hours of down time if you run out of juice completely.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Controlling this backpack blower is a pleasure thanks to the joystick which can be pushed backward or forward to sit well however long or short your arms might be. This is a nice touch if different family members plan to use the blower. You can make adjustments tool-free with a simple nut sitting underneath. Unlike the lock-on cruise control on many competing blowers, the Speed Lock calls for you to hit a button when you want to activate this feature then press it again to disable it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air is pushed 450CFM at an impressive enough 142mph which is actually superior to the performance kicked out by an entry-level gas mower and more than sufficient for a blower of this size and intended use.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weighing 27 pounds, you might want to think twice about the DeWalt if you struggle with heavier loads. That does assume 2 batteries in place so you can knock this down to 22 pounds with a single lithium-ion saddled up. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DeWalt\u2019s harness is adjustable but the absence of a hip strap means that balance could certainly be improved.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unchecked power, especially if you don\u2019t even need it, is far from the only thing to consider when you\u2019re looking for the best backpack blower. Many people want a unit which doesn\u2019t destroy the hearing of anyone within earshot. The DeWalt is rated at just over 60 decibels which makes it fairly quiet, at least as far as most leaf blowers are concerned.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at a breakdown of the chief upsides and the couple of minor snags with the DeWalt and decide for yourself whether this is the best backpack blower for you\u2026<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3951b07d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"3951b07d\"

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the niggles of many gas blowers is that their 4-stroke engines are tiresome to fuel up with a mixture of oil and gas not to mention hard work to maintain. The Makita packs a heavy-duty 2-stroke engine that sidesteps this ceremony completely. The 75cc powerplant is rated at 3.8HP and is more than capable of fueling even commercial work without feeling overworked.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common bugbear with gas-powered engines is a tricky start-up. With automatic engine decompression, you can fire up the Makita without standing on ceremony.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 200mph air speed and exceptional 670 cubic feet per minute of air flow see this blower outflank most of its close competitors by some distance. Despite this high-flying performance, the backpack blower only comes out at 24 pounds all-in so you won\u2019t feel like you\u2019re humping around a lead weight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With so much power up your sleeve, you might be concerned about vibration. Makita takes care of this through the use of mounts sandwiching the frame and engine and tamping it down to an acceptable level. Noise is not the issue you might fear either. This blower is rated at just over 70 decibels thanks to a substantial and effective muffler so while no leaf blower is whisper-quiet, the Makita is certainly not bothersome either.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can make alterations to the handle without reaching for your tool kit. The hip throttle packs cruise control functionality. The only gripe we have is that the throttle is situated rather too near to the On\/Off switch so be careful not to slash the power when you\u2019re looking to step things up a gear.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The backpack itself is a pleasure to wear. The shoulder straps boast multiple adjustments so whatever your shape or size, you can work in comfort using this sterling leaf blower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air filters on leaf blowers have a tendency to play up and become clogged due to the nature of the work they carry out. The substantial filter on the Makita is easy to access and clean. You can also replace it with ease so that\u2019s one less thing to worry about in your quest for an immaculate garden.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a larger garden at home, especially one where lots of trees ditch their leaves, the Makita is tailor-made for easing your passage away from the rake. Due to its build quality and hard-hitting performance, this blower is also eminently suited to much more hardcore professional work so whether you\u2019re a contractor or a home owner, this leaf blower is a smart choice.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>Explore a brief summary of the pros and cons of the Makita backpack blower before we deliver our verdict and move on to a brief buying

If you have grass clippings around your plants, pine needles collecting in your gutter or dust in your workshop, though, a blower is the obvious weapon of choice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be honest with yourself and only buy a backpack blower if it\u2019s necessary rather than just taking a fancy to the look of these Ghostbusters-style strap-on appliances!<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><b>Leaf Blower Terminology<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s nothing worse than looking to buy any product and being assailed by unfamiliar terminology.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll summarize a few key elements you\u2019ll encounter time and again on the trail of the best leaf blower\u2026<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>CFM<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The power of a leaf blower is referred to in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The higher the CFM rating, the more air is exiting the blower. This translates to increased power zapping leaves and other debris<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>MPH<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The speed at which the air leaves the blower is listed in miles per hour (MPH). Obviously, the greater the speed, the more efficient the blower<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>dBA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Noise is measured in decibels (dBA). In certain areas, there will be a threshold for noise levels so make sure you are compliant and don\u2019t end up with a blower that kicks up too much of a racket and leaves you open to further action<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Reduction Ratio<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If your chosen blower is capable of mulching, the quoted reduction ratio corresponds to how many bags of leaves will be turned into a single bag of mulch<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3><span style=\"color: #003300;\"><b>Types of Leaf Blower<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first choice you\u2019ll encounter involves the method by which your blower is powered. They can be divided into 2 broad categories:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Electric Leaf Blower<\/b><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Gas Leaf Blower<\/b><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have selected both electric and gas models in our backpack blower reviews so there\u2019s something for everyone.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll take a look now at the pros and cons of these various blowers\u2026<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Electric Leaf Blower: Corded<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally weighing in at 8 pounds or under, these lightweight corded blowers are designed to be used one-handed. Since they don\u2019t carry the added weight of a battery, these models are among the most portable and you will also enjoy uninterrupted run time without needing to head to a charging unit.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start-up is as simple as hitting a button and you won\u2019t be plagued by any noxious emissions if you go for an electric blower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The obvious downside of a corded garden appliance is the need for an extension cable and the restrictions of being tethered to an outlet. The cable can also be a trip hazard.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Electric Leaf Blower: Cordless<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cordless blowers are still pretty light but, with the addition of a battery, they often weigh up to 10 pounds.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll get none of the restrictions of a power cord or the noise and emissions that comes with a gas blower.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the flip side, though, don\u2019t expect the same power as you\u2019ll get with a gas-guzzler and be prepared for limited run times and the need to factor recharging into the equation. One way to combat the annoyance of running out of juice is to invest in a second battery.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><b>Gas Leaf Blower<\/b><\/span><\/h4><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want a superb combination of flexibility, freedom of movement and minimal restrictions when it comes to run time, a gas-powered leaf blower is your leading option.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gas-fueled blowers are not for everyone, though. This is why we have also included electric models in our reviews. These beasts come into their own for larger gardens of \u00bc acre and above. They are also ideal for sustained, heavy use. If you want to use a leaf blower for commercial purposes, a gas model is the only sensible choice.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With more power and increased coverage, gas blowers are not without their drawbacks. They tend to be much heavier units so be sure you can comfortably handle the weight. Start-up is often a drag and maintenance can be tiresome. You\u2019ll have more running costs with fuel to consider and gas blowers are also pretty noisy.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>So\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve doubled down on the powerplant that best gels with your garden and your personal preferences, it\u2019s time to think about the style of blower.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>Backpack, Handheld or Walk-Behind Blower?<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are 3 main designs of dedicated leaf blower on the market.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although we are focusing purely on backpack blowers in today\u2019s reviews, it bears mentioning the other varieties so you can be sure of getting the right tool for the job.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Backpack Blower<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Backpack blowers bridge the gap between handhelds and walk-behinds offering a nice happy medium served up with a healthy shot of convenience. Although most backpack blowers are gas-powered, more and more electric versions are coming to market and we break some of those down today. They normally run anywhere from 400 to 700 CFM and they work very well if you need to clear larger areas. The backpack assembly means there\u2019s much less effort involved on your part with maximum power returns<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Handheld Blower<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A cheap and cheerful handheld blower is a step up from a rake but will lack the power for heavy-duty jobs and won\u2019t have the staying power if you want to use your blower on a prolonged and regular basis. For small clean-ups in a city lot, they are more than fit for purpose but they fall outside the scope of today\u2019s article<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Walk-Behind Blower<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The third style of blower is a full-blooded wheeled walk-behind model, again not something we\u2019ll dive deep into here today. Kicking out up to 3000CFM, you\u2019ll get a huge amount of power and performance making them perfect for commercial clean-up jobs<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to these categories, you can also find combination tools that will convert to a vacuum, mulcher or string trimmer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully you now have a clear idea of which type of power and which style would be the optimum addition to your gardening arsenal.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ll give you a few handy hints now on using a leaf blower before rounding out with what to take into account when you\u2019re buying one\u2026<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>The Best Way To Use and Maintain a Leaf Blower<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a leaf blower is a very straightforward process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use your blower to gather up small piles of leaves that you then rake onto a tarp or sheet of plastic, you\u2019ll end up getting the job done more efficiently than trying to work with larger piles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should always use ear protection since even the quieter models still make a fair amount of noise.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electric blowers, whether corded or cordless, demand very little by the way of ongoing maintenance. Keep it dry and don\u2019t batter it around too much and that\u2019s about the extent of your care requirements.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gas blowers, on the other hand, need a little more TLC\u2026<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before using your gas backpack blower, check it has the correct mixture of gas and oil. Ensure the air filter is not clogged.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you\u2019re using your blower, make sure not to knock it around. Go easy on the throttle and use the slowest practical speed to get the job done to avoid excessive wear and tear.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you\u2019ve finished up, clean your blower down using a dampened cloth to get rid of any caught-on debris. Check the air filter and remove any clogged up matter. Store in a cool, dry place.<\/span><\/p><h3><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>Final Things To Look Out For When You\u2019re Buying a Leaf Blower<\/b><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019re drawn up your shortlist of blowers, here\u2019s a quick checklist that might come in handy\u2026<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Nozzle Design<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The nozzle can be flat, rounded or sometimes you\u2019ll get the option of both variants. Flatter ends work best when dealing with loose leaves. A more rounded tip is highly effective at digging out embedded foliage<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Speed Control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Whether it\u2019s a variable throttle on a gas blower or a choice of speeds on your electric model, you\u2019ll enjoy maximum flexibility if you can fine-tune the pace. Amp it up if you\u2019re working on hard surfaces and open ground then dial it back if you need to dance your way around delicate flower beds<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Transparent Fuel Tank<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: With gas models, a translucent fuel tank takes the guesswork out of refueling and prevents you from being cut off mid-flow and needing to dash off for some more gasoline. If you have a choice, opt for a model with a wider opening as well. This will lessen the likelihood of potentially dangerous fuel spills<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Weight and Ergonomics<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Always pay close attention to the weight of the blower so you won\u2019t end up straining your back working with it. Some handheld models feature secondary grips to enhance control. Reading plenty of user reviews is a good way to get a feel for the blower if you can\u2019t actually road test it in person<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Safety Shut-Off Switch<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: With any garden appliance, safety should be uppermost. On\/off switches allowing to instantly kill the power should be prominent and easy to access to keep you safe in the event of any mishap<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Air Intake<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you opt for handheld rather than a backpack blower, shoot for a side-mounted air intake. Intakes mounted underneath are quite likely to suck at your clothing<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Noise Levels<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Be aware that leaf blowers generate a fair amount of noise. You should always wear ear protection yourself and be respectful of neighbors in terms of the times you use your blower. Dialing back on the throttle minimizes the sound to some extent so be courteous and think about others while you\u2019re blitzing your leaves and garden debris<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5c9df3c2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5c9df3c2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-30b86c4b\" data-id=\"30b86c4b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54a52655 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"54a52655\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Final_Word\"><\/span>A Final Word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73f2eb08 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73f2eb08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We very much hope you\u2019ve found some useful nuggets in these backpack blower reviews.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting one of these multi-purpose tools is a great way to ensure your yard remains debris-free year round.
