5.0 out of 5 stars 130BT Review, July 5, 2010

By 

Flyboy - See all my reviews

I purchased my Husqvarna 130BT about two days ago. Assembly took about 10 min and was very intuitive. No special skills or tools needed. The blower even comes with 2 cycle oil in the box so you don't need to purchase any when you buy the blower except to have extra on hand. After mixing the fuel and filling the tank I tried to start it as directed in the manual. After the blower started on the second pull then stalled within 2 or 3 seconds. I turned the choke off tried again and the blower started on the second pull. Since then I have tried starting it several times and found it starts better with the choke off and usually on the first or second pull. The pull start is easy to pull. The entire backpack unit is very light and I had my garage, driveway, back porch, and even my roof gutters clean in less than an hour. I can't wait for the leaves to drop! This is my first leaf blower so I rally have nothing to compare it to but I can say at this time I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

This review is from: Husqvarna 130BT 29.5cc 2 Stroke 145 MPH Gas Powered Back Pack Blower With Tube Mounted Throttle (Lawn & Patio)

I have owned the 125Bx for four years. I have never had any difficulties starting the blower. The 125Bx has ALWAYS started on the first, if not the second pull. From day one, it has perform flawlessly - producing a very impressive 170 mph. I thought I would try a backpack blower; afterall, I'm not getting younger.

I purchased the Husqvarna 130BT (145 mph). I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the product and also with the ease by which the blower started. The tube sections are a challenge to assemble, however, as the instructions suggest, a little oil goes a long way. The ergonomic fit is spot on. The blower ran exceptionally well. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the amount of air produced. I can pass more air than the 130BT, I attempted to push road grit along the gutter and was challened to do so. I had pushed much more than grit with the 125Bx and had absolutely no problems. By-the-way, good luck finding the optional nozzle.

I returned the 130BT and purchased the 150BT blower. So I spent a lot more money to finally get back into the range of power needed to clear more than simple grit. Although I enjoy yardwork and gardening, I do not want to spend an extraordinary amount of time clearing debris. This is a serious backpack blower that impresses the owner well before you start it up. The same quaity construction and performance expected of a Husqvarna product. Again, I used a little oil to facilitate hose assembly. The 150BT is obviously ~5lbs heavier than the 130BT. The effect is a little more effort swinging the pack on. Once on, the weight distribution and balance is superb. I was suprised to find the 150BT comes with two nozzles. Both nozzles are round, one has a more narrow opening, perhaps that is how the blower can produce the 251mph claimed. Everything I read indicated the 150BT could produce as much as 251mph, however, the box it comes in, states an output of 180mph. My only regret, I should have purchased the 150BT years ago.

Just Great, I had a 8hp roller type blower for years and it was a pain in the neck. This baby can blow high piles of leaves with ease and starts with one light tug. Light and POWERFUL.
