I run a commercial gardening company in Spain and we use leaf blowers every day, but convert them to hoovers with the extra bag attachments. I have used nearly every brand on the market, I can safely say in my experience that the Ryobi leaf blowers performed the very worst of all brands I have used. Stihl are ok, easy to get parts,(Except the latest model BG86 which is very badly designed) Echo are brilliant, but more difficult to get parts, Honda only make a blower, and you cannot get a hoover bag for it, Anova(a cheaper brand) have performed brilliantly, considering they are half the price of a stihl. Just remember this information is based on my own personal experience, please make up your own mind.
