I understand that each property is different, but I am a little surprised to read multiple responses about that something like the Ryobi 18V 410 CFM was not powerful enough. My Makita blower is rated at 459 CFM and I often operate it at less than full throttle. Though I still mostly rake my leaves off the lawn since they need to taken up on a trap or otherwise gathered up from removal and there are too many small twigs that any blower will leave behind. Also when blowing hard surfaces I am concerned about blower overshoot into adjacent areas on my property or onto my neighbor. An ultrawide nozzle with 1k-2k CFM of airflow at moderate MPH would occasionally come in handy (if that exists), but it would really be overkill for my property.
