      I use things that work (even if you find them loud or annoying) because typically over engineered things (like the ‘quiet’ leafblower) are most likely very problematic and will fail. I just do not trust anything new anymore. Companies did this and forced me to stop caring about ‘innovation’ with their constant lies and fraud.

        No we obviously need more cheap plastics and shitty rubber grips that will turn to sticky goo in five years, as well as control circuitry with a dozen corners cut.

          Maybe the garbage brands. Milwaukee, DeWalt, Makita, etc are very well made, and significantly more powerful than they were 5-10 years ago.

          Do you think a leaf BLOWER sucks leaves up or does anything but blow them wherever you point the machine?

          Your thinking of a leaf vacuum which the article is NOT referring too…

          What was the point of your reply, I really don’t get it…
