We bought a larger (.75 acre) property in San Diego that was overgrown. Hands down the best purchase we made was an Ego cordless blower
Ego LI blower
We use it daily and it continues to kick butt. Charges in 15 minutes and will run in turbo (really powerful wind) for a long time. I have zero experience with the competitors, but I can vouch for this unit. If ours dies tomorrow I'm heading to the store to get another. No need to shop for alternatives, I will pick this off the shelf and not even look at the price. We are that happy with it. Did I say we use it daily? More like 2x a day, we are demented with keeping our property clean. That good.
