Default Re: Cordless Leaf Blower Recommendation?

Among cordless leaf blowers, several models bubbled up to the top this year, but we are sticking with my recommendation for http://www.thegoodgears.com/Leaf-Blower/. Stihl might still go places but that cordless leaf blower will do greater work.

I haven't been able to find a thread with solid recommendations for cordless models.

Can you guys please suggest a cordless leaf blower (or other dryer) that is powerful enough to do the job? I'd prefer to use AC power, but that's just not an option.

Thanks!
IMO, the main benefit to using a leaf blower would be to get all the water out of the places it likes to hide and then drip out when you finally get the car dry. IE: mirrors, body seams, door handles, etc.

I would still be wiping the car down after using the blower with some quick detailer. I'm not sure if you'll ever get the car 100% dry with just a leaf blower.

I use a Black & Decker 20V lithium blower. I think I paid $69.99 at Home DePot and it included 2 batteries.

I have the 56v ego blower and I really like it. It came with the 2.5 AH battery and I added the trimmer package with has the 5 amp hr battery!! I also added a nozzle to the leaf blower for a tighter more controlled flow of air

Depending on your necessity you have select different kinds of a leaf blower. If your garden or lawn is too large then you have to buy a powerful leaf blower which can clear all your dead leaves and debris.

I agree 100%. I have the 80v blower and use it on the C6 each wash.
Battery re-charges quite quickly too.
