Low priced with lower quality

Would Not Recommend

I bought this blower a few months ago. I may have used it 5 times and now it won't start. I understand it is a low priced blower, so I didn't expect greatness. However, I did expect at least 10 starts. This is ridiculous!!

Easy to Start. Great Blower.

Would Recommend

This blower is easy to start and use if you follow common sense. Follow the instructions, and if it doesn't start, spray a little starting fluid in the intake/air filter, and there you go...problem solved and it will start right up after that. A little common sense goes a long way with everything. This is a great product, and the handle makes it easy to use. Good power and well-built product.

Better Than the Other Reviews State

Would Recommend

There are a lot of negative reviews reported on this tool. I think that is a shame, because it has been a very reliable blower for me, and I have used it almost daily for the past 7 months. I have never had an issue with starting this machine. In short, people need to read the instructions on how to start this. There are multiple videos, multiple starting instructions, and even a sticker on the side of the unit. Plunge the primer 10x, turn on the choke, pull the trigger to give it some g...

Worst Leaf Blower I’ve ever purchased

Would Not Recommend

Extremely heavy, but worse than that the air intake constantly sucks up your pants if you hold it in your right hand. Never had an issue like that with other blowers.

You get what you pay for

Would Not Recommend

Got this blower for my birthday in 2022, used it a few times, it does ok for a little leaf blower but it sucks a lot of gas, sometimes it bogs down at full throttle even after it warms up but I adjusted the carburetor, also a bit heavy and if you place it too close on your right side it will pull or suck your clothes. I used it for a year and the cord snapped twice lowes did the repair but I gave it away. Poor cheap design but for $79.99 it was expected.

Slow to run smooth.

Would Recommend

This blower bogs down a lot but, once you use it for 2o minutes it runs fine. It seems that a card abjustment is needed.

Wind power

Would Recommend

It’s not as strong as I thought it would be on wind power but for the price it’s great. I noticed also that when you have it in your right hand the air sucking back in is on the flywheel area on the left side gets stuck or sucked onto my clothing a lot of times.
