Homeowner with 200 foot + of driveway sold the stihl gas blower and bought a Milwaukee M18 battery blower. Even the 8AH battery is plenty for driveway and sidewalk sweeping. Will never go back to gas. it's so darned convenient to have the blower in the heated basement, at the walk out door, grab n go. light, quiet, and easy to use.
Full disclosure I don't leaf blow large sections of my yard. Just drive and sidewalk areas.
