It Sucks.......

Very powerful blower and vac. Attaching the vacuum can take some getting used to but, it works excellent. If I had to criticize, and I don't want to..... It is quite loud, but that is just the craftsman power sound. It picks up the old leaves stuck to the ground in the grass and next to fences.......

Very nice

Very strong blower.  Better that what I expected for what I paid for.  More quiet then the gas one.  I'm using it to blow grass, leaves and debris off the driveway.  It's quicker and cleaner than using a broom.  No commend on thge vacuum feature as I have no need to use it yet.

I'm not really a big fan of leaf blowers; most of the time you'll see me sweeping up with a broom; likewise I'm not a big weedwacker fan (do it as seldom as I thing I can get away with), but I do admit that there are times when I've got a lot of debris I want to move around that would take awhile with a broom (mostly when I'm hot, tired, and lack for time)...so I went out and bought a Craftsman 12amp Electric Blower with Vac Kit (Sears item# 07174824000) when my old blower conked out and I couldn't repair it (circuit board broke apart around motor).

Well, the blower part seems to work well enough...

Outstanding

This Craftsman Blower/Vac is Old School Sears:  Built to last,  less expensive than the "name" brands, and in stock at the end of the season!  I brought it home and blew my yard away.  Beautiful!

Man,  I love Sears!

GREAT TORK

This lawn blower/vac has a lot of power as compared to my last electrical blower/vac.  It has convenient power switch and the high speed helps.  The strap for the bag is a bit too long for my height.  But it you are over 5'7", it would be perfect.  I am not able to reduce the length so it does become a bit ackward and extends down to my knees. 

The vacuum needs to have it own extension, so when you have to change from blower to vac, it takes a bit of time to remove and then add the parts and pieces.  I prefer one that has a switch from blower to vac.  Overall, it does have the power for...
