3.0 out of 5 stars OK for 40 Bucks, March 26, 2009

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Homelite 26cc Gas Powered MightyLite Blower ZR08520 (Lawn & Patio)

This thing costs about $70-80 new at hardware stores.

The good:

It really blows plenty hard for light work.

It is light and easy to handle.

It is almost half the price of a new one.

The Not so good:

It is really hard to get the gas cap on straight. It cross threads easily, and if it does it leaks badly. Just be careful.

It is a little finicky to start and warm up...like lots of small 2 strokes. You have to balance how much choke to give it until warm

It does not have a trigger to control speed...just a lever. And it only runs well at full speed.

It has a high pitch vibration...puts your hand to sleep...not a long term work machine.

So, if you think this thing is for you, by all means pay 40 bucks for the refurb. I know a new one is not going to be any better for 70 or more. If you want a smoother operating machine, you will pay in both cost and weight.

I am on my 2nd one. The first one came missing the blower tube. I called Cust service. They gave me the choice of another unit in 2 days, or waiting 10 days for a replacement part from Homelite. I took the replacement. They paid shipping to return the old one. Cust Service was good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful Product & Service, October 22, 2009

Homelite used to be a good product, but I will never purchase from them again. I called them today to complain about the Homelite Mighty Mite 26B's gas cap, which, after a few times of usage, began leaking due to the cheap cork gasket that was installed under the cap. The representative answered by telling me that the blower was only warranted for 60 days, and quickly hung up on me without notice. So, be forewarned about all Homelite products and their poor customer service.

Easy to Start, Liteweight with bottom suction, doesn't try to suckup your clothes.

Plenty of power, I run mine on half throttle or less for sweeping the carport and driveway.

Cons: Very loud at full throttle (actually hurts my ears).

Gas tank is small, maybe 15 minutes of use.

I am 6ft tall and would like another foot of tube length.
