This is a big honking blower. Primary pro is power which saves time instead of the constant back and forth of handheld units. Also love the bigger gas tank that allows me to get everything done without refilling. Con would be that it is a chunk so really not for those with either small jobs or who tire quickly. My first backpack unit and I would say the biggest challenge is getting it on. It's a learning experience and I am getting better at it. Best to have it up high as opposed to starting by picking up from floor IMO. Once on it is comfortable enough. The squeeze throttle allows you to control blower velocity so when you are around delicate areas you will be fine. When you want to get a driveway or patio or yard leaves done quickly, just open it up. No regrets.

Love the power and starts on the 2nd or 3rd pull so no problem there. However the only way it continues to run is at full choke. Otherwise it stalls every time. Have not adjusted the carburetor yet but feel that is where the problem is. Would have hoped it would come from the factory set correctly but apparently not.

I ordered this and immediately had second thoughts, thinking why didn't I spend the extra 60 bucks for more power. When it arrived, I started it up and that answered my concerns. This blower has plenty of power for my needs, and since it is lighter, I save a couple of pounds on my back. When blowing leaves over landscape rock, I have to be careful that I don't blow the rock away. Easy to start. Easy to operate. This does the job for me.

This is a great product! I am a 68 year old female and I highly recommend this leaf blower. I have no problem starting it myself - it pulls with ease. It feels great on my back and is not that heavy. It blows out embedded leaves, hickory nuts and just about anything that gets in its path. It is perfect for my 1 acre yard, but I would even recommend it for smaller yards. I have no regrets with this leaf blower. It meets all of my expectations.

Easy to assemble. User manual has small type (ugh). A sheet is included that has info from the manual, in larger type, that tells you how to assemble and use the blower (not ugh!) Throttle on hose in fantastic. Can't imagine not having that feature; glad I chose it. Harness holds blower tight on the body. Not heavy, used for hours, quite easy. I use ear plugs with ear covers (best solution), and eye protection (lots of flying debris). You get enough 2-stroke oil to prepare 1 gallon of fuel. I also add a good stabilizer (habit). Fuel tank is just over 1/2 gallon. I used about 1/2 a tank (1/4 gallon) over about 2 hours; I didn't time it, it's just my recollection. Easily moved wet leaves, wet grass, wet wood chips. No negative comments, though I'm a new user of this product.
