canmex87 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Is there any place locally in Lakeside where you can purchase an electric leaf blower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary c. Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ask at a hardware store, like the one next to TelMex. Many have a catalog and can order what you want from Guad. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giltner68 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 When I went looking for one a few years ago I had to go to Guad and at Home Depot the small one was at that time $820p, the same thing NOB is about $35. So, I bought NOB and imported it for my gardener. And, as far as neighbors not liking it? - nobody blows leaves at midnight unlike music until all hours and barking dogs with no "off" switch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 We have a Makita battery operated one. Works great and neighbors have never complained. I fact a few of them have now bought one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Jara and Amutio both have them. RV, the electric ones are not nearly as loud as the gas powered ones, they make as much noise as a vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkshawn Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 In the dry season you will be contributing to poor air quality. These machines do not know the difference between grass leaves dirt dust or dried doggy do: everything gets air borne. I have asked our gardeners to never use them. Brooms are so simple & do not spoil the air quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Where did you (or your neighbours) purchase It?in the States. You can order from Amazon. BTW....it does not blow dog poop. It has 3 speeds:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmelbaloney Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Oh please, no more leaf blowers. They are so noisy as compared to the nice old fashioned swish of a homemade mexican broom. Our neighbour has one and I would like to grab it and throw it into the lake. He revs it up and down up and down to get a leaf out of a crack. Sooo annoying. Please lets not add more noise to our Enviroment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Here's a thought, if it's so annoying to you, why not offer to pay his gardener, or any gardener to sweep his property with a nice MXN broom - nice and slow, everyone wins, you have peace, his property is clean and you employ a person, what could be better? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giltner68 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 In my case we had eight foot compound walls, so that didn't work out - although it didn't stop me from chucking fallen palm fronds over the wall into the vacant lot next door as is traditional locally - and to be fair, several of the palms were on the lot line so depending on the wind, most fell over there anyway, I just added to the collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ1954 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 My leaf blower is also a vacuumn, so leaves are sucked up, chewed up, and spewed into a bag. Great if you have a compost heap! While I, too, don't especially like the noise, it is easier on this ole girl's back to heft the blower/vacuumn than to swish a broom. Sorry, I don't have a gardener, but maybe soon. He will like the instrument, too. I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark DePeralta Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yes I know it has been a long time since you posted this. But I was still wondering if you still had a leaf blower you would sell. Thank You for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
