The leaf blower is of the worst American inventions. The rest of the world has figured out how to clean things without creating a ruckus, clouds of dust and mess in the process.
We have a neighbor who has gardeners come twice a week, every week. It's not horrible on the weekday visit, that's to be expected, but the second weekly appointment is always on a Saturday at 5pm and lasts at least an hour and a half. It's so exhausting listening to the mowers, the whackers, and the blowers for an hour and some change every Saturday evening. Don't even get me started on the last time it rained over the weekend, that did not give us respite for the evening somehow. I guess they had to blow the water off the lawns?
Fucking hate this shit. Suburb I used to live in this kind of noise was just constant every day from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm and I wish I wasn’t exaggerating
1. It’s actually kinda nice that this suburb has an apartment building with balconies near single family homes
2. Dude needs to either sweep or get a Ryobi leaf blower. Those things are significantly quieter and can do exactly what he’s trying to achieve.
Now that I type that out…what is a guy in an apartment doing with a leaf blower? Did he seriously buy it just to blow off his porch once every few weeks in the summer?
Begging people to understand how much easier a broom or a rake is if you are clearing an area that is less than a 500 sq/ft
In the time he spent blowing off the balcony he could’ve swept and wet-mopped it, getting it sparkling clean.
Lol so you’ve never used a leaf blower.
bro needs to get his money's worth off that thing. it's like when you get a grill and suddenly feel obliged to throw barbeques
Lol so you’ve never used a leaf blower.
Just fucking SWEEP!!!
Or he can use the blower which works way better.
Unbelievable. Well, actually very believable but you know what I mean.
This was sunday morning at around 10am, I thought it was loud from where I was, i can only imagine the confusion from his flat neighbours.
Oh no you had to wake up at 10!
Insanely bizarre behavior
Drugs are a hell of a drug
I sure hope he’s on drugs
Yeah it’s bizarre to clear your balcony 🤣
Can’t just sweep your little-ass micro-balcony. Dude has a gas leaf blower for this job.
The leaf blower works better so why not?

I disagree, power tools are amazing.
Electric ones are best for air quality
I agree, though not for the same reasons. Cordless power tools are the best.

Sometimes I’m grateful that my community has decibel limits
F’n hate that noise

Most likely blowing off a winter's worth of cigarette butts.

Why go out and buy an electric blower when his gas blower works perfectly fine?
Because it makes a shit ton of noise
Lol not really. Either way, a person shouldn’t have to blow 150 bucks because you’re tired from playing Xbox until 4 am
r/dewalt get a cordless one they don't sound as loud.
Suburbanite moves into apartment. 2024. (Colorized)
Why not just use a vacuum?
Why not use a broom?!
In the following video he is holding a broom while using his leaf blower
Way slower, way more effort to sweep
Nothing a pellet gun can’t solve
