Battery-Powered Leaf Blower

The Battery-Powered Leaf Blower, which can operate continuously from 30 to 60 minutes (depending on battery-pack voltage), does not confine the user to the limitations of a cord, nor is there the maintenance or fueling hassles or weight of the gas-powered blower. Its adjustable settings reportedly generate air speeds up to 150 mph.

Cost: $50-$200, depending on battery system/voltage, accessories, rpm, etc.
