CRAFTSMAN BP510 51-cc 2-cycle 600-CFM 220-MPH Gas Backpack Leaf Blower

Stopped working after a short while

I purchased CRAFTSMAN BP510 fro Lowes four months ago. Used it only twice. The first time it ran about 20 min then completely stopped. The second time it only ran five minutes. Completely disappointed. Want to retuned it but has missed the time window.

Stopped started

Worked great for a while but can’t get it to start anymore. Feels like no spark, not sure it’d be worth taking to a shop.

Quality sucks

Long and the short. Bought on Father’s Day. Stop working a month after I got it. Been in and out of shop for a month and a half. Still so doesn’t work. Craftsman won’t replace it. There quality is no more, it’s gone. And customer service as well.

2 have broke

I have bought 2 of these and the choke broke on both after only 3 uses. While using it, the leaf blower will just die, probably as a result of the faulty choke. Save your money and buy any other product.

Works well but manufacturers warranty sucks

In 2 years of use carb came loose and had to improve the attachment due to cheap plastic design. Harness straps have dry rotted and broke in only 2 years. Not covered under warranty and you must buy harness and plastic back panel at $52. Used once per week and kept out of sun and weather. Extremely difficult dealing with Craftsman and MDT manufacturer! If you’re looking for customer satisfaction don’t buy this one!

Good but poor design

Carb vibrated loose and in the process of tightening it there are nuts pressed into plastic part that came loose and couldn’t reattach carb. Had to improvise the design to get it back together.

Worked Great for 6 Months

I use this blower about once a week and it worked just fine for 6 months until recently when it started to bog down after running for only a few minutes. Starts fine and runs at high speed for about 5-10 minutes and then starts to bog down as if its starved for fuel. I called the warranty number and they sent me to a service center. The service center has already told me they need $50 just to look at it and told me that it sounds like bad fuel without even looking at it. I was surprised to hear ...

Think twice

This is the second 51cc blower I have purchased and both have lead to issues of them not starting. I am mechanically inclined and have even replaced the first blowers cab which became no issue until the pull start broke.
