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.

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?

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.

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).
