    Don't bother with these power toys. They're hellishly noisy, hence environmentally unfriendly, and also much less efficient than a rake (on open ground) and yard broom (on hard surfaces).
    You'll get a much better, if brief, physical workout using the power-free options, so what's the point of the expensive toy?
    I could agree with your opinion, but if you're in mid 50 as I do and have a pretty big lawn, such an extensive workout won't be useful for my health.
    That's why I have a HUSQVARNA 350BT backpack which is loud and noisy indeed, sometimes it drives my family mad, but it does the job well. Here check this review, I won't retell its features here.
    Half of being smart is knowing what you are dumb about.
