That's hard to say Bill.... :dunno: Just took a gander over at the Sears site and they only have 1 under $50. That'd surely make the choice easy.
I take it from your first post that you are more interested in leaf sucking/mulching than for the car? With that in mind the Sun Joe is built more to where the handle fits for sucking leaves. It even has wheels on the end of the suction tube! :xyxthumbs: Then again.... it's $86.18 (but still less than $89.99 @ Lowes).
What I would absolutely be looking at, (for leaf mulching) is a magnesium impeller over a plastic/nylon unit.
Another thing, whether for leaves or vehicles is not to look at the MPH speed as the total truth in what a 12 amp blower is capable of (
as that is strictly determined by the size of the nozzle opening) but instead at the total CFM. That Sun Joe for instance is 450 CFM which is really high compared to most 385 to 400 CFM electric blowers. :dblthumb2:
What I would
never do however is use a blower on my vehicle that had been sucking up leaves.
Might break out the weed whacker to clean the tires. :laughing:
