Bought the wife a battery powered electric blower for cleaning the
sidewalk and front porch off. Fast powerful, convenient, no smell. I
still used the gas ones at the farm shop for cleaning off farm
equipment. I bought Kobalt from Lowes. Also got a polesaw--that thing is
great!! Uses same batteries. It doesn't telescope as long as my old
school Remington, but it still does a great job and is more
convenient--plus I'm not scared to use it if the ground is wet.

I bought the package on Amazon that includes the nice charger and an extra set of batteries. Wasn’t particularly cheap but two sets of batteries provides way more than enough power to cross anyone’s weed-eating stamina/boredom threshold.
