What's the advantage of a leaf blower with a leaf vacuum and mulching feature?

A leaf blower with a <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Leaf-Vacuum/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z1wmq0?emt=plpfaq_2506_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">leaf vacuum</a> function lets you quickly suck up leaves while the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Mulching/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z1so6s?emt=plpfaq_2506_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">mulching</a> feature shreds them into fine pieces. This reduces the volume of yard waste, making disposal easier and creating nutrient-rich mulch for your garden.

I have a small yard with light debris. Do I need a leaf blower with a very high max air volume?

Not necessarily. A leaf blower with a lower max air volume, such as those in the <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/Less-than-50/N-5yc1vZbxavZ2bcttq?emt=plpfaq_2506_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">Less than 50 CFM</a> or <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/50-100/N-5yc1vZbxavZ2bcttr?emt=plpfaq_2506_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">50 - 100 CFM</a> range, may be perfect for your needs and budget. These are generally lighter and easier for smaller tasks like sweeping patios or clearing light leaves from a deck.

Would a heavy-duty blower be the best choice for a tree-filled property like mine? What's the typical weight?

For larger properties with significant leaf fall, models weighing between <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Leaf-Blowers/11-15/N-5yc1vZbxavZ1z1v0w3?emt=plpfaq_2506_leafblowers" style="text-decoration: underline;">11-15 lbs.</a> or greater are common. These often offer higher air volume and velocity, but consider a backpack design for better weight distribution and reduced strain during longer use.
