5.0 out of 5 stars A blast of fresh air!, August 30, 2008

By	Jesse F. Paxton "jpax10" (Norwalk, California USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This works better than advertised -- I use it to clear my backyard, patio, driveway, it even knocks spiderwebs off the house and garage walls!
Thank goodness it has two speeds -- the higher setting is too strong for some tasks! I actually look for excuses to use this tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, December 1, 2008

By	Anonymous - See all my reviews

We recently acquired an property with a lot of leafy trees and this is my first blower. When the shipment arrived, I thought that Amazon shipped the wrong item because it came in a tiny box. Snap the tube on, connect the cord and it's ready to use.

The power switch is somewhat touchy. When trying to select low speed, it is easy to accidentally bump it into high speed. I accidentally blasted away a bunch of bark and made a crater. Oops. During low speed use, it's also easy to accidentally bump the power switch to off.

The power receptacle is mounted on a short cable tail on the back end. I have several other lawn tools that have the receptacle integrated into the shell with a hook to retain the cord and I prefer that arrangement. When you reach the end of the extension cord, it disconnects easily and cuts power. There's also no strain relief so I think that eventually I will be repairing this short section of cord.

Although it looks and feels like a toy, it seems to work well on flat surfaces and bark, but struggles a little with leaves in wet grass. It just takes longer but still gets it done. I also used it to clear the gutters of leaves and it worked well. I removed the tube making it even smaller and lighter. There were a few times when the thrust nearly knocked me off the ladder.

Noise level is excellent, especially on low. Think giant hairdryer. It is much lighter, quieter and not smelly compared to the big gas blowers.

I was originally considering the Toro Ultra, but I was unsure how much vacuuming and mulching I would do and wanted something lighter, less expensive, and less cumbersome.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blows grass, leaves away great, June 28, 2008

By	NORML HEAD "Big Dawg" (Alabama/United States) - See all my reviews

It is a Giant Blower for the Little Price. 1st get you 2-100 feet of 12 ga. extension cord. You could get by with 14 or 16 ga, but I like the bigger ga.It will last a lot longer (No melt down).The Blower does not have a 3 prong ground plug. It has a 2 prong conection. Simple to put together & keep the air intake clean. Plenty of air blowing (160 mph). A week after I got it, It was at Lowes for $33,95 + tax. With No tax & free shipping, & I live 30 miles from Lowes,I think I still came out better with gas what it is.
