1.0 out of 5 stars Its Light, Its Cheap and Its Junk !, December 1, 2005

I bought this blower because it was light weight and the price seemed good. However I have been nothing but disappointed with this since I bought it. First it is very difficult to start. Now one may think that is a characteristic of small gas engines, but that is not so for my other tools. (For example my Troy Bilt edger starts on the first pull every time.) Sometimes when you are starting the unit, the pull string does not retract all the way. Eventually when it shuts off the string will retract except for this last time I tried starting it. The unit is in the garage at the moment with the drawstrng hanging out of it and no way to start it now !

Once you do get the thing to start, it does a good job at blowing, but the controls for adjusting the throttle are limited. It is difficult to get it to blow just a little, its either all or nothing.

Getting it to stop is also a little annoying. You have to back off the throttle and then give it full choke in order for the thing to shut off.

Tomorrow is trash day where I live and this unit will be on the top of the garbage can. Its too bad there is not an option to give this item 0 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Deal, July 20, 2007

By 

unhappywith product "jj" (houston, texas) - See all my reviews

I purchased the Weed Eater Featherlite blower at Wal-mart for 69.95 and it worked great 3 times then the pull cord would not retract. I returned it and recieved a new one and used it 3 times and then had the same problem. Poulan/Weedeater will do nothing except direct me to their autherized dealer who will not fix it without a reciept, which I do not have. The serial number shows it was produced 4/9/07 but Northern Tool does not want to fix it without a reciept even thought Weed Eater says you don't need a reciept and Northern tool says their policy is to have one. Poulan says "Oh well try another repair shop. So I'm stuck with a defective product that no one wants to fix and Weed Eater could care less.

1.0 out of 5 stars It Blows! And Not In A Good Way, December 4, 2009

This review is from: Factory Reconditioned Weed Eater FeatherLite FL1500LE 25cc 2-Stroke 150 MPH Gas Powered Blower (Lawn & Patio)

Bought this from Wal Mart for $70.00. Used it three times and the pull cord broke completely off. Replaced it for free and now have an extremely hard time starting the unit due to the pull cord once again. I hate this machine! I admit once it gets to blowing it's halfway decent, but it's not worth the struggle. Plus the blow power has decreased significantly despite following all user directions precisely.
