This blower is awesome...

I just bought this blower yesterday. Added fuel and it fired right up. I had my entire yard and driveway leaf free in a matter of minutes. It's fairly quiet and very strong. I spent an hour or so running it on a job this morning and it performed as expected. It dug the leaves out of the rock driveway....

Product has quality issues

   Purchased in Oct 2009.  Worked well at first.  Now after storing for the winter it just will not run.  Stored away for the winter like all other lawn equipment and even after new plug, fresh oil and gas it still will not run.  Taking in for service but based on this experience will probably...

Husqvarna 28cc Handheld Gas Blower Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 20 in total

Another home run for Husqvarna.  Starts right up out of the box and very powerful for a handheld blower.  Spend the extra $10.00 and get the shoulder strap, it will save your arm and wrist.  This is the perfect leaf blower for the homeowner with a small to mid-size lawn.  I helped a friend clear her yard of almost 1/2 acre of wet leaves without any difficulty.  This thing rocks!  

Not covered in the manual was end of season maintenance so I contacted Husqvarna and was instructed to empty the gas tank, start it up and let engine idle until it stalls.  Now it's ready for storage.

Good job...

Solid construction and reliable.  Output is strong and can move a lot of leaves.  If you want a leaf blower that will last many years, this seems to be the right one.  Noise level is comfortable with ear protection on.  Weight is light enough that a strap is not needed and the handle is confortable.  The cruise control switch is easy to use.

I bought this model after learning the Craftsmen's have some engine issues. Out of the box - easy to set up and fired right up (do read your manual for excellent starting instructions). I was surprised at how reasonable the engine noise is. More than enough power for my needs. The intake is on the right side so this is a plus for right handed users (no getting clothes sucked against it). Also no torque at all - easy to control and handle. I checked out many other brands in various stores and the Husqvarna is of a very reasonable weight as well. Cruise control works great and overall a sold build...

I would definetely recommend this Husqvarna 28cc handheld Gas to my friends. It is easy and light to hand but with a lot of power. It performs very well and I personally am very happy of this purchase. If you are looking for durability and one of the best products Crasftsman has been the best for years. I love to be outside specially during the summer season, mowing my lawn is my specialty. I really enjoy buying all my product at Sears. I have been doing this for more than 25 years. Sears always have the best services and deals.

Bought this blower from Sears about 2 weeks ago.  Unit is extremely light and simply to handle.  This blower is very powerful!  You would not think that it is this powerful given its light weight.  This is my first Husqvarna product and I'm happy to say that I am extremely pleased with it!

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...

Husky blower

I use my blower everyday! Mayflies, leaves, helicopters you name it. I've owned 3 others, this one is the best of the bunch. Don't feel bad if it's not on sale.....it's worth every penny!

Sold on Husquvarna products

Always like to read the reviews before I buy, I grew up on Craftsman's tools and products. After I read many of the reviews on several types of Craftsman's Gas Blowers and how they didn't live up to expectations I was dishearten by what I was reading. I started looking at other brands at other stores and went back to the Sears site and started reading over the Husqvarna Handheld Gas Blower reviews and I was sold on trying something new. I've had the Husqvarna Handheld Gas Blower for a few months now and found it to be a great product. I love how you can have a conversation with it running and crank... read full review »

Husqvarna Blower

I love my new Husqvarna blower. It starts easily and blows hard. I've owned quite a few blowers before, but I think this is the best one yet. They make great chain saws and that's why I bought their blower. No regrets here.

weak starter

recoil starter broke on second day. They cheapene up up the starter compared to older HUSQ 2 strokes. Very disappointing.

I have owned this now for over 2 years, I have owned Stihl, and others for years, both like this handheld and big back pack units. I would say that the power in this one is fantastic. It is lightweight and easy to handle around bushes and such, and you can get into spaces easier than if you have a backpack unit on. Starts right up after some pump priming and choke on Every Time without a hiccup. Overall very good quality of parts and controls. BUY IT.
