I finally gave up on electric leaf blowers for my tiny lawn after 2 years

Yeah, I get that completely. I tried one of those battery powered blowers last year and it felt like I was just pushing air around. A quick pass with my gas one would finish the driveway in five minutes but that electric one would need two full batteries and still leave piles of leaves. Felt like a gimmick for larger spaces. The corded ones have their own issues too, you're always dragging that thing around. Sometimes the old ways just work better for a small patch of grass.

Have you tried using a corded electric one with a good 50-foot extension cord? lol I fought with the battery powered ones for two seasons and finally gave up. The corded blower I got for forty bucks actually moves wet leaves without bogging down, and I don't have to babysit batteries charging all night. For a tiny lawn, you just start at the end of the driveway and work your way back, coiling the cord as you go. Takes me maybe 8 minutes total, no gas fumes and no having to store a can of fuel mix in my shed.
