I must say, before I moved into my house I viewed the invention of the
leaf blower as grounds for a petition to introduce a new circle of Hell.
But I have three pecan trees, and after the first forty-bag raking
season I buckled under and reserved my seat in the Fiery Place. I tried
to get a blower that rated as "quiet", and have been reasonably happy
with the Echo. It's gas powered (learned my lesson WRT electric tools
when I damn near electrocuted myself with the electric hedge trimmer)
but fairly quiet and very powerful.
