The county just south of us has banned the use of gas blowers beginning in 2025. They like to be "first" in everything whether it's a good idea or not.
I have a BR700, which is a step or two down from the 800. It's been a great blower over the past several years.
For the occasions I need to spread out grass clippings and clumped grass, the larger blowers save me a lot of time.
