Cordless leaf blowers

I've only used a corded electric for the last 15 years. Just not a ton I need to blow off regularly, until now. New deck is complete, and after Zeta came through here, there were tons of pine needles everywhere, but collecting a good bit on the stairs and landing of the deck. Sweeping is fine, but figured it is time to upgrade and I don't want to deal with a cord or gas. Bonus is the kids can also use it to blow off the trampoline, since it seems to gather a good bit of leaves and pine needles over a few days.
Should I just get the cheapest ones at Lowe's or Home Depot? I may want to add additional cordless tools in the future, so that is a consideration as well. Any brands or models to avoid?

This guy did an extensive shootout
Leaf Blower Shootout
FWIW i have a battery Ryobi one (thats what most of my power tools are) and it works great.

EGO blower. I was skeptical at first, but it has been awesome and zero hassle.

I love my Dewalt blower. I have the smaller one and plan on getting the bigger one when they go on sale.

I have a Kobalt, and it works fine for blowing off the driveway, as long as it is dry. I can do it twice before needing to recharge.

I vote for EGO. Have one for two years and love it. It has a power boost button for when you need it. Runs for a while on a charge and charges quickly. I also have their hedge trimmer that I am very happy with.

I bought Stihl battery powered weedeater and blower 4-5 years back. They’ve worked well for my residential needs. The batteries are interchangeable so it’s perfect. I keep one on charger and just swap the other out as needed. The blower isn’t as powerful as my other electric cord driven blower. But I needed cordless for around the pool.
As far as the weedeater, the respooling is a bit wanky but I’m used to it and good at it now. I’d otherwise look for one of those quick loaders if buying today.

I have the ryobi 40v jet fan blower and 40v string trimmer. Batteries are interchangeable between the two. It fits my needs, no complaints to this point. Had them for about a year now

Buy one with batteries you can use across their platform of other tools like Milwaukee Mikita Dewalt etc
