Garvee 20V Cordless Leaf Blower vs Troy-Bilt TB272V Leaf Blower/Vac

The Garvee is the better pick for most homeowners. It has more airflow (650 CFM vs 450 CFM), higher air speed (200 MPH vs 150 MPH), a brushless motor, two batteries and a one-hour charge, and it runs without gas or oil mixing. The Troy-Bilt wins only where you need vacuum and shredding in one tool: its 1.5-bushel bag mulches leaves and its 74 dB rating is quieter than the Garvee's 100 dB. Owners rate the Garvee much higher (4.8 from 430 ratings vs 3.0 from 71), and the Troy-Bilt's 2-cycle engine means fuel mixing, pull starting and more upkeep.

• Choose the Garvee 20V if you want a light, quiet-to-store cordless blower for lawns, patios and driveways, and you value two batteries and no fuel mixing.
• Choose the Troy-Bilt if you need to vacuum and shred leaves into a bag as well as blow them, and you don't mind mixing 40:1 fuel for a gas engine.
