Please bear in mind that most municipalities (Seattle, at any rate)
aren't going to mandate corded electric blowers. The most it seems they
would be willing to go is electric with battery. Personally, I don't
like leaf blowers and don't use them myself. My motivation in this is
to find a practical way to reduce the noise - which is often around 75db
at my windows. (Avoiding the dust would be fantasitc, but it's not
going to happen.) If I can find a product or some other solution that
is practical for commercial use, the city might listen.

Subject: Re: [EVDL] leaf blowers
I hate em too! I only use one as a last-resort since I swear I can
actually RAKE leaves and finishe the job in shorter time wtih a rake
onto tarps and carry to the mulch pile than all the time going back and
forth with the stupid blower which then you still have to rake into
some kind of carrying system.
But Electric is the ONLY way to go. They always work, they always
start and they are cheaper. Sure they have cords, But DEAL WITH it.
Messing with the cord is sure cleaner and easy and repeatable
compareedd to fussing with gas and oil!
Oh, and hey are quieter (but only somwhat, so they are still a
detestible intrusion on the neighborhood).

all they
do is push the dirt/leaves into the air and off of your property on to
my
property. I put it in the same category as littering.
