We should invent a quiet leafblower

Most electric and battery leaf blowers are about as loud as a vacuum cleaner (which is basically what they are, except in reverse). It's the gasoline blowers that are noisy as hell.

I never understood the purpose of leaf blowers because all you're doing is blowing the leaves somewhere else.

I use a leaf blower to blow all the dirt and grass off my big zero-turn mower before I put it away. It's easier, faster, and more effective than a broom.

I also use it to blow the grass off the driveway back onto the lawn. Again, it's faster and easier than a broom.

My leaf blower can also be operated in reverse as a vacuum. You suck up the leaves, the motor shreds them, and blows them into a bag to collect them.
