Two of the major brands are BILLY GOAT and LITTLE WONDER.

Consider:
  • self-propelled?
  • noise level
  • adjustable tube?

I found this Honda powered MTD on C/L for $225. Have yet to put it through a fall leaf season but it did a fantastic job cleaning up after a flood last week.
There is not a lot to go wrong on these, just a engine on a cart driving a fan.

Nice! It would be better if yours had larger front wheels, but I like how they swivel.

I removed one of the wheels (the one on the left when facing) and am in the process of replacing the existing one with a larger diameter wheel/tire. Even by just removing the one wheel, its already much better on rough terrain.
