I can’t agree with the comparison. I own a good quality electric blower for our small lot Villages home. On the regular setting it will blow dry debris from the driveway and on the turbo setting it will manage to blow debris that is damp. It struggles to blow wet leaves out of our gutters on the turbo setting. My Stihl 2 cycle blower that I use at our northern home will blow huge piles of soaking wet leaves and if I am not careful it will blow the rocks right off of the rock wall. I wouldn’t dare try to use the Stihl to clean the gutters because it would blow the shingles off the roof. The comparison is not even remotely close, the Stihl blows category 5 hurricane force winds out a small tube and is an absolutely amazing piece of equipment.
