Battery powered backpack blower?

18 years ago

There is a commercial running for La-z-boy that has a man wearing a battery-powered backpack leaf blower. The batteries in the commercial are black and yellow, so I thought maybe it was a DeWalt or Ryobi model. I've search the internet and can't find anything on battery-powered backpack blowers.

Does anyone know if these are really out there?

Do you feel that this battery powered electric blower will have enough power to do what you want it to do? Have you done any research on model numbers or brand names?
Thanks,
Bob.

I currently use an electric blower that does an adequate job for the small property I own. I have my doubts about running a leaf blower off of 2 rechargeable batteries, but that's why I wanted to look into them further.

I haven't done any research on model numbers or brand names because I haven't found anything out there. Hence my question, "Does anyone know if these are really out there?"
