Which is better for a large yard with heavy leaf fall?

The Greenworks. Its 690 cfm and 194 mph clear wet, matted leaves that a 120 mph handheld struggles with, and the backpack harness lets you work for up to 65 minutes without arm fatigue.

Is the Greenworks worth about $259 more?

Yes if you clear a big property often. You get roughly 140 more cfm, 74 more mph, two 82V batteries, a dual-port charger and hands-free carrying. For a small yard, the Snapfresh does the job for $39.99.

Which is easier to use around beds, cars and tight corners?

The Snapfresh. A handheld 20V unit is quicker to pick up and maneuver in tight spots. The Greenworks backpack is better in the open and worse on ladders or in cramped areas.

How long does each run on a charge?

Greenworks states up to 65 minutes with both 5Ah batteries, and about 40 minutes to recharge them. Snapfresh does not state a runtime, so expect shorter sessions from a single 20V battery.

Can either one vacuum or mulch leaves?

No. The Greenworks listing states no vacuum or mulching capability, and the Snapfresh is a blower only. If you need mulching, look at a dedicated blower-vac.

The Greenworks is built for commercial use with a brushless motor and an 82V platform, so it should hold up to years of heavy work. The Snapfresh is a light-duty tool at a light-duty price.
