Powerful, lightweight, but noisy
Powerful, lightweight, but noisy
This unit has enough power to get the work done (I use 50% throttle most of the time). If it seems underpowered-check the choke setting; it should be "Off" once the engine is warmed-up. The fuel tank is enough for 30-50 min depending on throttle position. The only negative comment is noise-I expected this unit to be quieter...

Steer Clear-- Low quality product
Cheap shouldn't necessarily mean low quality. If you're looking at this you probably want an inexpensive blower for a small yard, but don't want a power cord to lug around, and don't want to pay $300 for a backpack blower that is overkill. That's why I got this blower.
Unfortunately, this unit is low quality. I used mine for 18 months and it's dead, the...

Steer Clear-- Low quality product, April 18, 2007
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
Cheap shouldn't necessarily mean low quality. If you're looking at this you probably want an inexpensive blower for a small yard, but don't want a power cord to lug around, and don't want to pay $300 for a backpack blower that is overkill. That's why I got this blower.
Unfortunately, this unit is low quality. I used mine for 18 months and it's dead, the pull cord has completely seized and the handle has always been loose/cheap feeling. There is no fix given on the Poulan/Weedeater website for the pull cord, so I will either need to: 1. Take it to a shop and pay more than it's worth to repair it. 2. Open it up, lose parts, and not be able to put it back together 3. Take it back to Lowes and see if they will replace it, which I doubt, or 4. Buy something new. All actions you shouldn't have to take after very moderate use- 10 minutes a week in the summer and longer during leaf season.
I think people will regret going low budget on this purchase.

Broken again, August 20, 2006
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
The second time I used this blower the pull cord mechanism failed. The cord would not retract. I dismanteled and rewound the pull cord. Next time I used it failed again. I am ver displeased with this unit and it is now unuseable. Can't start it without a pull cord. I do not recommend it.

Cheap blower but bad consturction, find something better, April 5, 2007
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
Purchased from amazon because of gift certificate, on the first use the handle detached and now passed the 30 days return I am trying to find a dealer that accept fixing it under warranty. Many of the dealer say that they only fix what they sell. Too late. Wish I had purchased troy, craftsman or any other brand. Lesson learned.

I used it 3 times, October 11, 2006
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
The third time, I ran it for about 5 minutes and shut it off. When I ripped the cord to start it a couple minutes later the handle broke.

underpowered, April 3, 2006
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
150mph apparently is not as powerful as it sounds. Unit started fine, is pretty light and works well, I just do not think it is powerful enought. Wish It had more power.

The fuel tank is enough for 30-50 min depending on throttle position. The only negative comment is noise-I expected this unit to be quieter than competition (per MFG suggested 68 db noise); however, it's just as loud as any other blower on the market.

Pull Cord Seized After First Use, June 16, 2008
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
Second time I tried to use this machine, the pull cord seized and would not retract. I had to disassemble the whole bottom unit, and rewind the metal wire, and reassemble the unit. The design in the inside is poor, I had to bend and fasten the metal wire in order for it to work properly. Pull start mechanism needs to be redesigned. I would expect this to happen to all of the units eventually.

Worn out before three years, September 11, 2006
This review is from: Weed Eater FL1500LE 23cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered 150 mph Blower (Lawn & Patio)
I have one of these that is not even three years old. I also had to fix the starter rope because my kids yanked it out. No big deal, that's the kids I figure. Now it won't start and its because the compression is low. This thing wasn't even used that much.
