Comment:
I've owned this blower for about 6 months now. I have a third of an acre in a suburban development. I purchased this to blow grass and leaves. When it ran, it worked well.<br /><br />But it is difficult to keep running. It stalled often, and lately after it stalls it won't stay running. I'm not much of an engine guy, but after about 15 uses, I would think it would be easier than this to keep the engine running. It's just not worth it.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I use it to blow cut grass off the sidewalk and driveway and to blow and mulch leaves in the fall. Plenty of blowing force. The mulching works well once you get the hang of it. The leaves have to be dry and hold the suction tube at the top of the pile instead of sticking deep in the pile. This helps prevent clogging. Using it for mulching can be a chore on your back with the need to hold it at the proper angle but that's any mulcher of this design. Had it two years with no issues. I would buy it again.

Comment:
The unit ran fine for the first three months of use. Then one day it just died mid-job. Sent it in for repairs covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Three weeks later I finally got it back. Took it home, put gas in it, and did a 2 minute test run. Seemed to work fine. Proceeded to cut the lawn. Afterwards when I tried to use the blower for the grass clippings, fuel was spewing out the back end. The fuel lines were done. It literally ran for no more than 3 minutes total from its previous repair before it broke down again. I'd had enough and returned it to the store for a refund. There is a serious issue with this blower and bad fuel lines and the manufacturer is doing nothing about it.
