The LB6504 hits the useful middle ground: enough airflow for a serious fall cleanup, no extension cord to drag, and a complete kit in the box. The supplied 5.0Ah battery is the main reason this is the easiest recommendation for a homeowner starting fresh.
Choose the LB7654 when wet leaves, matted grass, or long fence lines make a typical handheld feel underpowered. Its 765 CFM and 200 MPH figures put real muscle at the nozzle, while the included battery and charger keep this from becoming a platform-only buy.

For a driveway, deck, or compact lot, the LB700 keeps the purchase simple: plug it in and clear the area. It is the budget workhorse here, backed by more than 30,000 reviews, and makes the most sense when the cord can reach every corner you care about.
The WG520 is the corded option for shoppers who care more about moving leaves than roaming far from an outlet. Its turbine fan is rated at 600 CFM, giving it gas-like clearing volume without a fuel can or battery bill.
The 350iB is the premium handheld for neighborhoods where output and noise both matter. An 800 CFM rating gives it the volume for big piles, while the stated 65 dB operating level is easier to live with than a gas backpack blower.
A backpack blower earns its keep when the cleanup stretches beyond a normal suburban yard. The 360BT moves the engine and fuel load onto your shoulders, giving you the sustained work setup that crews and acreage owners expect from gas power.
This is the natural step-up for a yard already running on Ryobi 40V batteries. The 800 CFM rating handles bigger piles, and the Whisper Series motor makes it a better fit for early starts and close neighbors than a gas machine.

The DCBL722B makes the most sense as an add-on for garages that already run DEWALT 20V MAX batteries. If DEWALT 20V MAX batteries already live in your garage, it gives you a familiar pack and a handy mid-range blower without paying for another charger.
Greenworks’ 40V line is the value play for a homeowner building one battery shelf across many yard tools. With more than 75 compatible tools in the platform, this blower is most compelling when a suitable Greenworks pack is already on hand.

This is the shop-to-yard pick for anyone already invested in Milwaukee M18. It keeps the same battery family as the rest of the crew’s tools and brings the FUEL brushless setup to quick cleanup around the driveway, trailer, and jobsite.

Wear the basics
Eye protection and hearing protection are sensible for powered cleanup. Keep people, pets, and loose gravel out of the discharge path.
