This here is the start of a random series of random posts that I’ll post now and then. Are you still following me? Right, it is on items that seem awesome, but in fact suck. The first victim is the really futuristic like leaf blower or leaf sucker if you want. It doesn’t cost that much, but oh how many have been foiled by its pretentions – especially the really lazy types who despise picking up a broom or using a rake. Yes, you screwed yourself buying this nonsense.
Why it seems awesome
C’mon! That thing looks awesome. If you hold it, you can imagine yourself holding a big minigun/machinegun type of weapon and feel really Terminator like and cause destruction on the leaves. It also pretends to really save you some work, by using minimal exertion and blowing the leaves straight into oblivion.
Why it in fact sucks
Have you ever tried using it? That thing is heavy, laborious and stubborn. It makes one helluva noise and you end up exerting more energy trying to move the damn thing. If there is no space to blow the leaves, you must resort to the leaf sucking ideal, which when used will get bag so full surprisingly quick, that leads to even more tedious work.
Confess, you probably bought the thing, thought it be awesome, quick and easy, but now it sits in your basement/attic collecting dust. Such a silly stubborn product.
