Leaf vacuums vary in price according to manufacturer, and if they are electric or gas powered models. You can find electric leaf vacuums starting in price as low as $69.00, and gas powered vacuums as low as $75.00 at your local home improvement centers. Both models of the electric and gas powered leaf vacuum perform the same task, but depending on your needs and wants will determine which type you should purchase.

What are some of things to consider when you are looking to purchase a leaf vacuum? First, if you have a bad back, you want one that is light in weight. Both of the electric and gas powered vacuums have models that weigh as light as 9 pounds. Another thing to consider with a bad back is do you want to pull start the vacuum? The pull start of gas powered vacs can be hard on backs, as they do not always start on one try. This is when you probably should consider an electric leaf vacuum over the gas powered unit. If you are concerned with the level of noise the leaf vacuum makes, an electric model will be quieter then the gas powered units. If you have a fairly large yard, you may want to consider an gas powered model over the electric model.

Why choose a commercial leaf vacuum? There are leaf/garden vacuum blowers on the market that make the task of raking leafs virtually effortless. The attachment of the long narrow hose to the unit, allows you to blow your leafs into a pile, or piles around your yard. Simply detaching the narrow hose, and attaching the wide mouth hose to the vacuum, allows you to mulch the leafs into the units vacuum bag. One step of unzipping the vacuum bag over the open compost bag, releases the mulched leafs with no mess. For example, if the leafs in your yard once filled 10 compost bags, it will now be reduced to half with a leaf vacuum.
