Hand held gas blower for leaves

Anyone have a gas hand held they like for leaves and basic stuff around the house? I have a battery powered black and decker which isn’t useful, but don’t want to spend on a backpack blower. I’ve seen a few Stihl handhelds that were well reviewed? I’m looking for something that will get used primarily in fall to blow off the driveway and blow leaves in the yard into piles.

I had a battery black and decker that was a piece of crap and almost ruined battery equipment for me. The I got a battery stihl which has been awesome. More powerful than my last gas one.

Got an Echo. Like my Echo weed eater that I've had for 19 years, it's dependable as the day is long.

I use a cheap gas blower from Wal-Mart. I use it for exactly what you will be doing . Going on 3rd year . Just me .

funny you posted this. My normally reliable Stihl decided to stop running yesterday. Now its sitting with two other Stihl seedeaters that I replace the carbs on a few months ago...and still dont run.
I was thinking about getting Ecos

Been running a Husqvarna handheld for several years. When it gives up the ghost, I may consider electric. My old house was a corner lot with a bunch of trees and id damn near burn through a tank of gas during each use. New house is alot less to deal with.

An ego battery blower was my gateway drug to the dark side. It is so much better than a gas blower. Get at least the 650cfm, I'd get the new one with two 5ah batteries if I needed one now, but it is pricey.
My ego stuff is so easy to use my wife will use it. That never happened when I had all gas stuff. I use to have Honda powered everything, even my string trimmer was a 4 stroke honda.

Stihl base model is enough. Echo makes good ones also.

EGO acme.com has refurb ones with a warranty if you're cheap like me.

I purchased an echo from homedepot. I think the blower was like 160 bucks. Hard to beat and has never had a issue

I have a Stihl combo blower vac that’s fantastic. Really bought it for the vac and mulch feature.
I inherited a Husky backpack blower from a job site that we abused and I figured I’d keep until it quit working. 7 years later the dam thing still starts on the third pull every time.
