A good leaf blower can be a sound investment as well as a useful tool, and those from Stihl have a great reputation for reliability and long life.

That makes its price with a 36-volt, lithium-ion battery and charger, $500, higher than anything else in our leaf blower Ratings except the wheeled, gas-powered Little Wonder LB160H, $800.

There are several things Stihl leaf blower owners like about the brand's lineup, with many praising their power, durability, and longevity.
