Leaf Blowers Easy on the Ears
In response to cries of outrage from aggravated homeowners everywhere, companies have developed quieter leafblowers for home and professional use. This is a Stihl 23-pound backpack blower that only reaches 65 decibels at 50 feet, about the same as a face-to-face conversation. See also models from Husqvarna and Deere. Prices range from about $220 to $500.
