Even at their quietest, leaf blowers are enough of an annoyance in residential neighborhoods that you'll want to finish the job quickly. The best handheld models in Consumer Reports' leaf blower tests deliver ample power for blowing and sometimes vacuuming up leaves. And they do so without disturbing the neighbors too much.

You can’t say the same for the beefiest blowers, which are backpack and wheeled models—the contractor’s choice. Here’s a rundown on some of the best from our tests in each category, and some you’re better off passing up. The “LN” in the name of the Echo PB-255LN, $200, stands for low noise, but the greater attraction of this model is its stellar power for sweeping and loosening leaves. terrex bc 16 backpackWe also liked the spring-assisted starting and five-year warranty. kanken backpack zurichBut other models had as much power for far less. kelty amron backpackThe Husqvarna 125B, $150, scored about the same and is lighter, and newly tested models such as the Hitachi RB24EAP, $100,  and the Jonsered B2126, $140, also packed plenty of blowing power.puma pioneer backpack limoges

Skip the Troy-Bilt TB320BV, $135. It was impressive at sweeping leaves and has spring-assist starting, multiple speeds, and a speed-control lock. But it fell short in loosening and vacuuming leaves, wasn't that easy to handle, and was especially noisy.

Toro dominates our ratings of corded leaf blowers that perform nearly on a par with gas handhelds. And the newest, the $99 Toro Ultra Plus 51621, leads the pack with top-notch sweeping and impressive loosening of embedded leaves. Want to pay less? Except for a few features, the $75 Toro Ultra Blower Vac 51609 matches its newer sibling—right down to the metal impeller, which is more durable for vacuuming leaves.

Skip the Remington RM1300, which, for its $100 price, should have topped our ratings. Instead, it had lackluster power for sweeping, loosening, and vacuuming. It incorporates blowing and vacuuming with twin tubes that require no mode changes—but the design adds weight and compromises on power for either task. If you’re okay with limited run-time or have the cash for extra batteries, a cordless-electric model is worth a look. The Kobalt KHB400B, $139, and GreenWorks GBL80300, $279, both 80-volt, topped the category with impressive or better sweeping and loosening. Not far behind was the 56-volt EGO LB4801, $247.Skip the Craftsman 98021. At $150, this 40-volt unit is cheapest in the category. But sometimes you get what you pay for. In this case, it’s extremely weak sweeping and loosening, more suitable for debris on your deck or driveway than for actual leaf cleanup. These models are nearly all heavier than a handheld, but the weight is evenly distributed across your back, with little stress on your arms.

Of these, the $500 Husqvarna 356BT and $350 Stihl BR 350 had superior sweeping and loosening. What’s more, the two were reasonably quiet from a distance. Consider also the $200 Ryobi RY08420 if you want to pay less, but note that this model was among the noisiest of backpacks in our tests.Skip the Poulan Pro PPBP30, $160. It was as noisy as the Ryobi but had little else on the plus side, considering its mediocre power for sweeping and loosening. Little Wonder LB160H, $900, which delivered the most blowing power—but also the most noise at 50 feet away. For a less-expensive model, consider the $400 Troy-Bilt TB672 or the $350 Powermate P-WB-163150. Of these, the Troy-Bilt is the quietest wheeled blower at a distance.
