If you need to sweep off a patio or a small driveway, the simple Toro Power Sweep is a favorite of owners. It's lightweight (4.6 pounds), has two speeds and isn't terribly noisy. The highest sound level is a bearable 63.5 decibels, so the Toro Power Sweep is usable even in communities with noise restrictions. For a more powerful and durable but quiet leaf blower that can also vacuum leaves, reviews recommend the Toro Ultra Blower Vac 51599 (*Est. $75).
ConsumerReports.org doesn't test the Toro Power Sweep, but does rate and rank three other Toro leaf blowers. It's reasonable to draw some inferences from the Toro rankings in comparison with six other electric leaf blowers here. Close to 45 owners posting to Amazon.com give the Toro Power Sweep a very high average rating.
