A handheld blower is direct and easy to store. A backpack blower carries the tool’s battery on a harness. A vacuum mulcher collects leaves instead of pushing them into a pile.

Backpack blower
When the LB6003 backpack fits
LB6003 is a complete backpack blower kit, not a battery-carrying accessory for another blower. EGO's kit includes a 7.5Ah battery and standard charger. EGO lists variable airflow from 260–600 CFM, 600 CFM in Turbo, and up to 145 MPH.
EGO lists a harness with waist belt and adjustable tube length. Choose it when carrying the battery on a harness fits your work better than holding a battery on a handheld tool.
Vacuum and mulcher
When the LV5000 leaf vacuum fits
EGO describes the LV5000 as a leaf vacuum, mulcher, and blower. In blower mode, EGO lists up to 500 CFM and up to 210 MPH with the tapered nozzle. For vacuuming, EGO lists six metal tines, a 16:1 mulch ratio, and a 40 L zippered bag.
The linked LV5000 listing is tool only. It has no battery or charger. EGO’s LV5005 kit includes a 6.0Ah battery and 320W charger, but that kit is not linked here.
