Budget leaf blower

[Macoo 1978]

I'm looking for some advice on which leaf blower to buy I need a 50cc at a minimum I don't however want to pay huskie or stihl prices I'm thinking makita stiga or mitox premium I would be very grateful if anyone could provide me with any experiences they have with any of these brands .i always buy stihl or huskie and have an efco strimmer but I now need a powerfull blower for occasional use ,something that will shift piles of wet saw dust and small branches cheers

well i do apologise for the light humour,  if you bothered to read on i did say the makitas are good, well built and nice to repair plus parts are pretty reliable.

If you had any experience of cleaning up after a big job you’d mug off the expense and buy a back pack blower. Time and labour are your most expensive commodity.

A bit tetchy there I would say. You get what you pay for . Invest in a decent backpack blower and you will never regret it. We have a Stihl BG85 and the backpack magnum. Yes we use a rake, but only for the big/coarse stuff.

We've got a mitox for blowing off machinery and it's pretty good. I normally go with husqvarna but it was cheaper, more powerful and a longer warranty so an easy choice.

I was trying to be nice, my personal view is if you are doing big jobs and cant afford a blower your doing it wrong.
