Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a gift and need some help picking out a leaf blower. I'm looking for something that's really strong and built to last. I'm also debating whether I should go with a gas or electric model, and I'm curious about 2-in-1 options that can mulch leaves and have a bag for storage. I'd appreciate any recommendations on brands or models that you've had good experiences with, especially if you have advice on the gas vs. electric debate. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

If you're considering a gas model, the Echo PB-580T is a solid choice, especially if you're looking for power. I've got one, and it's great for mulching too—just blow the leaves onto your lawn and use a mower for that extra help! It's been really reliable for me.
I’ve got to agree with the Echo! But if you have a big yard, be cautious with battery-operated blowers; they tend to struggle with power and battery life. I use a Stihl for my 5-acre property, and it outperforms my Echo, especially on turbo. They're great tools overall.
For residential use, you might want to consider something like the Remax; models with 750o or higher power should last a lifetime for a homeowner. I've heard good things about their durability!
