When you have a gorgeous lawn, you want to show it off — not let it hide under a blanket of newly fallen leaves. Since raking debris can take forever and a day, plenty of people are turning to cordless leaf blowers to get that pristine, clutter-free lawn look, especially now that it's fall.

Why go cordless? Well, an extension cord can only get you so far, leaving you unplugging (and replugging) in your leaf blower while you work. With a cordless blower, you just turn it on and go to town — no pesky wires needed. Ready to tidy up your lawn in a fraction of the time it would take to use a rake? These cordless leaf blowers are up for the task.
