After years of making sure my gas blower was properly tuned and able to start (no easy task!), I am happy to say I now have a trouble-free blower that I can have confidence for me to use, or for my 12 year old to help me. The velocity is very adequate, and using electric power is very convenient, as...

I purchased this leaf blower back in late 2005, it was very good for the first year but at the same time I didn't use it as often.
It wasn't until we moved to our new home that I began to use more. About once or twice a week for basic yard maintenance. It wasn't very long after that the motor began to...

For a beginner this Blower with Vac kit is extremly to use. It even gets the kids to clean the driveway. light weight and portable, I recomend it for anyone with light blowing and kids.
I bought this blower last fall for the purpose of blowing off my huge deck. It works like a charm and you don't have any gas or oil to mix and it is very light weight and does not put a strain on the old back. On the other hand I have not used the vacuum part that came with this blower but did see that it would take a great deal to add the attachments. I would recommend this blower for a small job such as patios, walkways, garage and drive ways.
Arizona heat is immense and adding raking leaves to that makes this job exhausting. I needed to find a way to complete the job without having to stop. This leaf blower/mulcher was advertised at an ideal price. I brought it home and opened the box immediately only to find ease in using the attachments. It got better--this tool is lightweight and rests comfortable on the shoulder with the padded strap included. Emptying the mulch bag was a breeze and easy to keep clean. This job is now finished within 20 minutes.My plants are surviving the heat and winter because of the mulch. The lawn looks nice...

Every year, among the sweat and blisters, I rake and bag oak leaves a 1/2 acre area around the house. This year, I was determined to find an easier way. I researched the internet and discovered the Sears Craftsman blower to be the best buy with the best features. I decided on the electric because of weight and didn't want to hassle with gasoline. (Just not for me!) This blower is amazing! It is EVERYTHING I had hoped it would be! It's lightweight and very easy to maneuver--I have spent hours "vacuuming" leaves and spreading the mulch in the very back. Yes!! TRULY a product that lives up to its...

I purchased the model 3587482600 blower/vac unit. The blower seemed to work ok - nothing great - but the vac unit didn't hold up. The mulching gear didn't last more then a few days. I don't have a lot of leaves to pick up which was good because if I had I wouldn't have made it. The mulching wheel was just about gone. I boxed it back up and went to Sears to get my money back. I don't recommend this blower. Even if it's on sale!!!!!!
I needed to replace a previous Craftsman blower/vac which the vac feature was a pain to use. I figured since my old one was at least 7 years old the design would be better with newer models. I guess Craftsman does not put a lot of time in on usability or design for their vac feature in these models. This model is cumbersome to use and you end up with a shoulder ache prior to having to empty the bag. I guess I was expecting to have some sort of blower/vac that you could change on the fly without having to use a screw driver or key or other flat object.
The blower does not do a good job with keeping...

I found this blower on sale. It has performed as well as any I have owned in the past. I am not crazy about mulching leaves though the motor intake, but I have not had any problem so far.
We've enjoyed this blower, but haven't used the vac function, as we have a shop vac for that. Nothing bad to report, it has worked perfectly for 6 months now!
This blower/vac does a decent job. The bag for the vac, however, ripped in the first season. This was a great disappointment because we could not use the vacuum feature.
I could not believe the ratings of some of the other reviewers, I have purchased 3 of these, the first for myself is still working the other two were gifts to my Father and Sister (no complants and they use them). This works better than the small 2 Cycle I used to use (more and faster air for blowing, better shredding of leaves for vacuum and MUCH Quieter) My blower was used no less than 100hrs with out problems, prior to my noticing that the air flow was decreasing, I replaced the blade and other than dings and scratches it is working like new again 3 years later. BTH there is an excellent cord...

I have use this when cleaning up my lawn, it work great when using it as a blower. Now as vacccum not so great it seem to get clog and you have to turn it off to clean it out. Has alot of power when blowing leaves. It needs to be upgrade when it comes to vaccumingup leaves, the problem is the blade is plastic. It needs to be metal that would solve the problem. The bag for this leaf blower is good it has shoulder strap it takes a load off your back.
