Yeah, so loud and annoying. They kick up so much dust and just move stuff from one place to another and often they don't actually pick the stuff up after, not to mention the fumes. Hate them all around.
Battery powered devices have gotten way better and while they may not be able to handle larger properties in one charge yet, the catteries are getting cheaper. I have a mower, and an edger and weed eater that all share a battery. I have a really small lot, but as long as I don't leave the grass to get really long and keep the blades on the mower sharp (both of which mean more torque and thus more power is needed) I never drain the battery totally. And a good broom is way more efficient at cleaning the sidewalks than a blower. And I either bag or mulch the grass, so I never need to rake, so only a little gets on the sidewalks compared to letting the grass go everywhere. And honestly with how heavy those blowers and fuel are, it's probably not that much more effort to use a broom either.
Overall it's significantly less noise (not totally quiet of course), no exhaust fumes for me or my neighbors, and less kicking up dust and pollen that I'm sensitive to and I'm sure others are as well.
