Comment:
I have had this blower for over 8 years and it's performed great. Very powerful. It's taken a lot of unintental abuse and has held up well. It only just failed, most likely due to too small of an extension cord. The motor still works, but the high amp draw melted the plug on the blower. It's the older design, where the AC prongs protruded directly from the motor housing. The new design with the dongle should last much better. Hope to get 10+ years out of the new one! Use a good extension cord.
How long have you owned it:
