For a phenomenally powerful tool, the two-speed Craftsman 12-Amp Electric Blower with Vac Kit 358748240 (Sears item 07174824000) is incredibly inexpensive. At just $59.99, it features a maximum air output of 220 miles per hour, just less than the best-performing electric blower on the market.

Much of that is due to its hefty 12-amp motor, tops as far as electric blowers are concerned. It features an impressive reduction ratio, as well. With the included vacuum kit, you can mulch 16 bags of leaves down to one. The Craftsman 12-Amp Electric Blower with Vac Kit 358748240 weighs 11.7 pounds, which is heavier than some comparable units, but this model does win points for its comfortable handle and vibration-dampening design.

Regardless, it's a safe bet that you won't be able to find a more powerful electric blower/vac for the price. The Craftsman 12-Amp Electric Blower with Vac Kit 358748240 (Sears item # 07174824000) is backed by a 2-year limited warranty.
