Factors to Consider:

CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute):
Measures the volume of air the blower can move. Higher CFM generally means more power for clearing large areas or moving heavy debris.
MPH (Miles Per Hour):
Measures the speed of the airflow. Higher MPH is useful for dislodging stubborn or wet leaves.
Run Time:
Important for cordless models, especially for larger properties. Consider the battery capacity and run time on different power settings.
Ergonomics:
Backpack models can be more comfortable for extended use, especially with powerful blowers.
Price:
Gas-powered models tend to be more powerful but may require more maintenance, while cordless models offer convenience but can be more expensive.
