Excellent product!
My Makita Leaf Blower arrived quickly using Amazon's Prime Service. Even though the machine in new, and built in 2007, it started right up on the third pull. After that, it quickly starts on the first or second pull. There is no hesitation once it starts and from there on it just purrs like a big cat. Don't be fooled by the 145 MPH air speed from this tool. I thought it...

It went from blows to sucks.
Although this is the cheapest 4-stroke blower you can buy, I'm afraid you get what you pay for. Mine has always been extremely difficult to start, and with use only became more so. I have carefully cleaned the carb, checked the wiring and the spark plug, used brand new fuel, etc and have never been able to get it to run well. Today I can not get it to start at all so it's...

Excellent product!, June 24, 2010
This review is from: Makita BHX2500CA Commercial Grade 4-Stroke 24.5cc Handheld Blower (CARB Compliant) (Lawn & Patio)
My Makita Leaf Blower arrived quickly using Amazon's Prime Service. Even though the machine in new, and built in 2007, it started right up on the third pull. After that, it quickly starts on the first or second pull. There is no hesitation once it starts and from there on it just purrs like a big cat. Don't be fooled by the 145 MPH air speed from this tool. I thought it was going to be underpowered. But most leaf blowing tasks can be done at idle or 1/4 throttle. I think this is because when you carry the tool around, the nozzle is always close to the ground. Only when encountering wet leaves I had to use more power from the rather quiet engine. Oil (10W-30) is not included. Being a 4 cycle engine, no oil and gas mixing is required. The manual is poorly translated from Japanese, but adequate. At 10 pounds (wet) and with a sore elbow, I had no trouble doing my yard and blowing leaves from inside the garage. You can even blow away perky cobwebs off windows and dry your car.

Today I can not get it to start at all so it's time to find something else.
Maybe I just got a bum one but I doubt it. The fact that Amazon also stocks refurbished units tells me that there must have been a large quantity of returns, which are now making it back to the market after engine repairs. I suspect there's not much worth owning in between the price points of a small electric blower and a higher quality / professional blower.
