I look forward to seeing more electric leaf blowers. Sure they have a bit of an annoying high pitched whine when you're close by, but you're not going to hear it more than 5 meters away. I've also been seeing more electric lawn mowers which are also much quieter.
I have an electric leaf blower, it's pretty loud and you can definitely hear it >5m away, in fact you could probably hear it several hundred metres away. I do agree they are less disturbing overall though.
Where is the sound coming from to make it that noisy? Is it more the engine or the woosh?
Da whoosh
It's basically a big hair dryer, there's a big fan in it
I look forward to seeing less leaf blowers in general. I don't get the obsession with getting rid of leaves. You're damaging the local ecosystem for what? The ability to watch your grass turn brown?
Hi, leaf pilled person here. I still have a leaf blower to get them off my driveway. IN FACT! I use a leaf blower to get them off the pavement and onto the ground where they'll be beneficial. They're still a useful piece of equipment.
Grass turns brown in the fall, for you? That usually only happens in the summer here, when we get heat waves. The grass is green every other time, covered or not covered.
I commonly use an electric leafblower for work, it's loud as fuck
Yeah, it's really crazy how much quieter the electric lawn tools are. It's very noticeable.
I am an all electric human as I can be.
Electric: mower, leaf blower, edger, chainsaw, pole saw, car, tiller.
Last thing to swap isy houses heat from gas but that is a major job that requires many upgrades.
Heat pumps are super nice. And they get better every year. But it is an investment.
How about not having lawns in the first place?
Man I want to replace my 2 cycle backpack blower now.
My handheld (Ryobi 20v, meh) is alright for cleaning the driveway or the deck, but if I want to actually move leaves around the heard, it's weak.
I love my ego mower and my ego snowblower (although I only had one season with it so far and I think we got a total of 3 inches of snow, so....yea). An ego backpack blower would be tits.
Edit: holy shit those are expensive. But man I keep having to dump oil/gas mix because I can't possibly use it up before it goes bad and the blower loses all its gusto. But pre-mix is ridiculously expensive (but works sooo much better).
Our park ranger is a nice guy and I help him out from time to time, and we got talking about how leafblowers suck.
He said that yes they're loud, but they are remarkably efficient at moving leaves into a nice pile, missing nothing
we got talking about how leafblowers suck.
In my experience, they tend to blow, even the good ones.
if your leafblower suck, there's a switch for that. read the fucking manual before complaining
Forgot about this joke.
The "missing nothing" part is problematic. Many creatures rely on leaves to survive or reproduce. Fireflies are a common example. Their population has been decimated by the complete removal of leaves as standard practice
I cannot understand why people are so intent on removing every leaf from their yard
leafblowers suck
they literally do the opposite u idot 😤😡
no mebe u r 🫵
Using the same principle as noise cancelling headphones, you could just blast an equally loud counter sound to negate the blower's noise.
But where's the fun in that?
Won't work sadly, the "counter sound" can't be in phase in multiple locations because of delay and reflections. Headphones can do ANC because the ear is basically a single point so the mic can pick up exactly what you're about to hear and then compensate.
Using a speaker like that would just create double the leafblower noise.
How I wish active noise cancellation was a thing for rooms rather than just headphones.
This would be a game changer for people in multi-family housing.
Or leafblowers could include that as a mandatory feature
I mean, would they even hear anything over the leafblower?
I don't mind leafblowers but don't start at 8 AM IN THE MORNING
My retired neighbor waits to do it on Sunday. I think he has a bottle of 2 stroke oil on his nightstand beside the tissue box
Where I used to live, they would start at 7 AM. EVERY DAY, INCLUDING THE WEEKENDS.
I was tempted to buy a leafblower for myself, follow the leafblower guy around, and just throw all the leaves back at him.
Fuck them at all hours
It's my FAMILY TRADITION to blow leaves in every day of JANUARY you don't understand god put them there to BE BLOWN
(not but really last January I heard so many leaf blowers. What are you blowing? Ghost leaves??)
People who unironically think this should go clean some leaves themselves and see how long they stick with the rake.
It's always so much easier to tell other people how to do their job.
But I hate climate change and like bees
'Cleaning' leaves is stupid as hell anyway.
Depends if you're going for most or all of the leaves. If you're just going for most and you're not incompetent, rake is easy and quick.
is a blower more fun, yes, do i drive a tank instead of a bike because of that? no
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE NEIGHBOR BLOWING LEAVES AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
