I have only had the blower for approx. three weeks and used it half a dozen times for about 2hrs combined time and three tanks of gas based on the preformance at this time it has preformed very well. More powerful, comfortably, balanced, quieter and lighter than my Troy Built TB4BP which blew a main bearing after just over 10 yrs. of use. Easy to start decent throttle response,easy to control the movement of material,if it continues to perform this well in 10 plus years I give it a 5 star rating.

Started right up and works well.

Better than expected. Sufficient power to drive live oak acorns & leaves out of thick grass. 4 stroke engine is surprisingly quiet, very fuel efficient & low vibration. Much more convenient than our corded electric blower, and vastly more powerful than our cordless blower. Avoid ethanol fuel.

This beast starts up every time with a smooth run. The trigger system is a bit touchy so be careful not to bring the throttle down too far and if you do, it shuts off and you have to take off the pack to restart.It’s a 4 stroke which takes care of the messy oil mixing, but it does use more gas than normal, however the power this thing delivers makes it forgivable. The main issue I have is strapping the thing on; as the fasteners could be a bit more beefy. The straps are flimsy at best. I’m 5’8 and need a tall table to strap the thing on so if the strap fasteners were easier, I wouldn’t need a table support.Now if you want power, this behemoth will not disappoint. Here in the upper Midwest, I have no problem with moving piles of oak and maple leaves like a knife cutting through butter on my ½ acre. I have a 20 x 20 deck and use this monster to remove snow (not too wet) up to 3 inches and that saves a lot of shoveling time. I’ve owned a few blowers in my 66 years and love this product as it is the best piece of equipment I’ve ever had.

Easy to start. Very powerful. Great blower
Giovani Christiansen (verified owner) –
Very good blower so far. Reliable starts, low decibels, and easy to handle. Gas reservoir has a good capacity for ability to perform tasks with less fill-ups. Also not having to mix gas and oil is a blessing and convenience. Only negative comment – I wish there was just a bit more power in the output. Other than that I’m really happy with my purchase.

Very well put together and runs very well
Leonardo Blick (verified owner) –
Does a great job with plenty of power and much less tiresome than a vibrating hand held. No noxious fumes from burning oil with gas and not too heavy for this 73 year old. The backpack has the added advantage of improving posture because straps pull shoulders back. Hope I don’t jinx myself with all the praise but this blower is a real winner.
