“Great Blower, Starts and Runs Beautifully.”
Did lots of research before buying the Husqvarna, had it narrowed down to this and a stihl. Bought the husky basically because I like Sears and the people at Sears Hardware in Fairhaven, MA. I ordered it online in the store and saved the shipping cost.
Overall I'm very happy with it, it started on the third pull right out of the box (just follow the starting procedure). This is replacing an old Ryan blower and the difference is night and day. The Husky starts easily, idles and runs excellent with little vibration, and launches wet leaves and pine cones with ease, also used it from a ladder to clean gutters.
Had no need for the vacuum feature as I'm surrounded by woods. The only thing I wish Husqvarna had included with this model is a shoulder strap.
Basically, if your looking for a quality blower you won't be disappointed with this model it's worth the extra money.
