That bloke in the advert using one to push his granddaughter on a swing makes it look light as a feather!

We got rid of ours too because it was just too heavy and cumbersome..

I found it heavy too, and swaying from side to side with it really pulls on your back.

They are as heavy and cumbersome as they look. I have just sold one on Ebay. DH used to use it, but I found that it made me more exhausted than raking up the leaves would have done. That one had wheels which were supposed to make it easier to manoevre.

Our new garden has a huge maple tree in it and, as one might expect, there are a lot of leaves coming down! Some are falling on the lawn - and that is relatively easy to rake up with our very light lawn rake; but lots are falling in great heaps on a large graveled area at the front of the bungalow. It is hard to rake up as you finish up with lots of gravel.

I have just been looking at leaf blowers online and they look rather heavy and cumbersome. Does anyone have one of these? Are they relatively easy to use?
