Excellent performance, easy starting, very manageable weight. Live up to my expectations. 2 month ownership, so far.

The only complaint I have is there is no cross strap to hold the 2 shoulder straps together
Carmel Kiehn (verified owner) –
Easy assembly. It performs very good!
Mitchel Braun (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble and more powerful than I expected.

This back pack while a bit heavy is just what was needed to push leaves, pine needles, and about anything not nailed down. Easy to assemble and started on the first pull. The small amount of oil needed to start the first time should be included in the packing.

Uses regular 10W30 motor oil with no fuel mixing. Easy to start, with a responsive throttle, noise level is decent. Only shortcoming is the shoulder straps, which tend to slip to the side. I cured this slippage by using a fabric-covered bungee cord, applied across my chest to hold the shoulder straps and stop the slippage. Ran it for an hour today, and still had a quarter tank of gas left. I would recommend this blower.

Lilian McGlynn (verified owner) –
It would be nice if it had a vacuum attachment
Diana Okuneva (verified owner) –
Easy to assemble, starts first time every time (as long as you remember to switch the tube throttle to the on position) and it’s relatively quiet
Carlos Kilback (verified owner) –
Excellent product. The main reason I selected this model was the 4 cycle engine. Much more powerful than my hand held, battery operated, Ryobi blower.
Danny Medhurst (verified owner) –
Runs great use a lot to clear leaves and acorns from oak trees
Brennan Mills (verified owner) –
Quiet, plenty of power, and no premix. Only complaint is lack of cross connection of shoulder straps.

Effective blower. Solid build. This replaces a 4-stroke toro that lasted nine years but started falling apart. Negative – the weight is fine, but the balance is poor as it’s weight is outward away from the back. I find that loosening the straps a lot helps, but limits use to about an hour for me.

I have a half acre lot with six mature oak and maple trees around the house.I needed a replacement for my 20 year old Homelite, that I could no longer get parts for.I decided to go with a 4 cycle for the reduced noise and pollution.The only down side is the weight, but the five extra pounds is compensated by the design.Although this blower is at the top of the price range, it is worth it.Where my previous blower took three to four quarts of gas/oil mix, I can blow my entire yard with about half that amount of regular gas.I’m using aviation gas to avoid the whole ethanol problem.It’s blowing capacity is powerful enough to move a huge pile of leaves across the yard.I’m finished in half the time.The arm straps are large enough to climb into without straining, adjustable and well padded.The lumbar pad is a plus.The motor is supported on springs reducing the vibration to the backpack.This is my new favorite yard tool.

I’ve owned this machine for about a month now. I bought it in time for the fall cleanup.Great product with plenty of power.I have 1/2 acre with six 40′ maple trees and this powered through the pile and was able to blow them across the yard and into the woods.Easy start. Love the fact that it uses plain gas rather than oil mix.More efficient too. I can do the whole yard with less that 1/2 tank.Considerably quieter than my previous 2 cycle.I thought the five extra pounds would be a problem, but the backpack straps and lumbar pad make it easy to wear.I like the cruise control when covering a large area, easy on the trigger finger.This is my new favorite yard tool.

Nice blower, good power.I would have given a 5 star rating if it came with a waist belt and chest strap.I bought a waist belt and added a chest strap myself.Other than that is a good blower as I stated above.
