Does this work well in the yard for blowing leaves?

I don't really have any leaves. But id say if you wanted decent blowing power go with a gas blower. You want something strong enough to move leaves when wet and I can guarantee this blower won't. I use this to clear grass clippings and that's about all.

No it will not work welll with a large amount of leaves. This is a "light" duty blower. Very handy for small jobs but definitely not for a large pile of leaves.

yes - it has variable speeds - it is pretty powerful on hight - even cleaned some of the old grass stuck in my edging. and on low I can blow the clippings off the mulch without blowing mulch all over the yard!

I would doubt that it could shred a lot of leaves without a lot of attention. I think you would do better with a lawn mower

I used it for the first time yesterday on leaves. The blower is good, vacuum works well and mulches the leaves excellent.

It has done a decent job with leaves. I close up my pool before the acorns start falling, so I haven't really tested that aspect out yet.

I don't think my cordless Greenworks blower is very powerful, but it is entirely perfect for my job of cleaning our porches of leaves, mesquite pollen and other debris very easily and quickly. It doesn't blow away spider webs or bat droppings unfortunately, but I am very happy with it.

Hmmm....it will do my sidewalks, front and back of the house, 2 decks and a very long driveway which is about 200 ft long before it is too weak to blow. This is a very light, easy to charge and use blower, but definitely not powerful enough to blow leaves off a lawn. I use it only for what I described and am happy with it; although with a 2 acre yard I would love something bigger. I am old :-) so it is great for me. Hope this helps...

I bought it knowing that it might not be powerful enough for me, but gave it a shot anyways since it was relatively cheap. It is great for blowing off the driveway and sidewalks after mowing, or blowing out random leaves and such from the garage. I would recommend getting the DigiPro model if you are wanting to use it for anything more than that. It is pretty useless if I try to use it in the fall to blow leaves in the yard.Pros:- Quite cheap if you already have a battery from other tools- Very quietCons:- Not really powerful enough to blow leaves through grass I bought it knowing that it might not be powerful enough for me, but gave it a shot anyways since it was relatively cheap.

I used this to pick up newly fallen leaves, not mulched leaves. Esentially it is a hose that connects to your leaf blower/vac and would depend on how powerful your vac is. I would think that would work but would depend on how fine the leaves are mulched and the power of your vac. Good luck!

I have used the blower to remove wet leaves, and it works reasonably well if they aren't too badly matted down. If they are badly matted, it can be slow going, and you might have to help the blower with the more stubborn mats. It's also easier to do this from the top of a ladder than it is from the ground, using a curved tube.

It will handle them, the vac function works very well and the mulching blade is durable. However it will be very noisy with the acorns being ground up! On the down side, the blowing function does not work well for anything heavier than dry leaves - the end of the nozzle is too small to allow a lot of air out.

I've only used it to clean out my pellet stove, I would use a rake or leaf blower for leaves.

I think the answer is a qualified "yes." Don't expect a wind tunnel from this product. It's for light use. How useful it is would depend a lot on the size of the leaves and if they are water-logged. I enjoy the fact that it gets leaves and other blown-in things hiding in the landscaping or under a table or in a crack in the sidewalk. Forget it if you plan to collect autumn leaves with it; it's not strong enough for that. I use it in lieu of a broom.

I don't know. Never tried it. I don't think that is what it was designed for. It worked fine for blowing leaves and light sand.

This blower will move a decent pile of dry leaves not a pile of wet leaves. I have an Echo PB-251 that is more powerful than this blower and it will not move a pile of wet leaves. If you are looking to move a pile of wet leaves you will not be happy with any hand held blower. If you are looking to move a few wet leaves you will be just fine with this blower. You need a powerful backpack blower if you want to move a pile of wet leaves.I suspect that some of the Stihl hand held blowers are more powerful than this blower.

No, it does not. It is designed for small jobs such as blowing leaves, acorn shells, debris from patios and decks. It works great for small jobs. We have patios and decks. We're very pleased with it for the money.
