This blower attachment was surprisingly effective. I didn't have high hopes after reading some of the dismal reviews on Amazon, but I use it with my Ryobi system, and its FANTASTIC. Quick (<10 seconds) to add on, and it blows much better (because its targetted to the ground) than my old conventional leaf blower. Not at all awkward to hold. I use mine every week and it works fine. Minor thing to watch out for is leaves covering the air intake, but this is MINOR and easy to brush away with your free hand.

All around a fair product. Does not blow very hard, but snaps on in a breeze. Barely adequate, but gets the job done.

I purchased this item along with a recond. pruner. The pruner is awesome. It does a great job. The weed trimmer extension does a great job. This blower, I would recommend using the money that you would spend on this and get a dedicated gas or electric blower/vac.

The item works OK at best. The small engine has difficulty going to full power with this attachment. It does great with the other two attachments listed above.

This will work fine for small leaves and small areas. It is a little awkward to use. It is difficult to quickly change the direction of the air flow or get a high volume of air to move larger leaves/debris. This is be OK for the occasional use to blow a few leaves around from a single tree. It would not work to corral fall time leaf droppings from multiple trees or from large trees.

The hand held wands/hoses found in dedicated hand held or backpack style blowers are much more versatile, powerful, and much easier to use. If you are looking for a powerful unit to move a lot a leaves (etc), don't spend too much time looking at this blower. It probably won't work the way you would expect or need it to. The other attachments for this unit work great and I would give them 5 stars.

I was surprised at the power this blower attachment has. Great for clearing my deck and cement areas of debris.

Product works really good, and my yard looks better too. I do not have to use water to clean my walk way.

I didn't have high hopes for this attachment moving a lot of air, but it really does. Clears the driveway in a matter of seconds. It is not the best for pine needles in thick grass, but neither is a little electric blower.

I bought this attachment and the edger attachment at the same time for my 29cc 4-cycle Trimmer. The edger is amazing. The blower is ok. It works, but I dare say that the best part of it is the scraper piece attached to the bottom that allows you to get the stuff stuck to the driveway. I've worked a trick to angle the trimmer and blower just so it gets the grass out of the amazing edge just made by the previously mentioned edger. But it only goes one way. If I tilt it 90° to the right, it works ok. If I tilt it 90° to the left, it does a real good job of getting that grass out...

Everytime I use this, it does it's job, but at the expense of the trimmer. The trimmer overheats after 10 minutes of use. Maybe I have some things wrong...

I bought this for a Troy-bilt 31cc unit which is about a moderately powerful gas engine. Didn't mind a reconditioned unit since these outdoor power tools get banged up and dirty on the first few runs anyways, and the price savings makes it a bargain. To my surprise, I received a product in new looking condition. Unit attached easily to my trimmer and I quickly was able to use it. Blows fairly decent amounts of air. I haven't exactly used a whole lot of blowers in the past so I can't attest to how effective this is, but it did the job of blowing away grass clippings and leaves which is all I needed. Might be too unwieldy to bring out your trimmer if you just want to blow out your deck every day but for the weekly mow/trim, these work great.
