Love the ease of this blower

This is the most lightweight blower that I have ever used. It starts right up and usually I have a hard time with my other blower getting it started. Not this one, one pull and away we go. For the money this is the most value out there. I would definetly suggest this blower to friends and family. Have... read full review »

Problems with pulling cord

I bought this to tackle the leaves on my front lawn. Not nearly as big as my back lawn but I wanted at least a medium-duty blower. The blower is just as advertised in terms of its weight. It was very easy to move around with and swing back and forth without having sore arms afterwards. The problem I... read full review »

Weedeater Gas Blower

I like this blower mainly because it is light and easy to maneuver around.

useless

This thing has no power and the pull cord broke just after a few starts. What a piece of junk.

NO RECOIL/ STOPS FOR NO REASON

just like I said, brand new and it won't start, wont recoil when it does. Some times it stops running just for the heck of it. Ive taken it apart more times than Ive used it.

Poor Repair Service

I have had the blower for 8 months and only used it for a small driveway. It is very light but starting is hard as it is difficult to pull. The handle has broken and is not useable. I carried it to the authorized repair center and was told that if would take about 5 weeks to get the blower repaired. Price was good but repair service is poor. They need to redesign the handle more securely. I am going to purchase a more expensive blower (Echo) . I can't wait 5 weeks to get mine back. I purchased the blower to clean my driveway not spend 5 weeks in a repair shop!!!!!!

Not recommended

My wife bought this blower for my 16 year-old son to use for some yards he mows. She felt he needed something lighter than what he had been using due to his age/size. The first time I started it I felt the top handle was kind of flimsy. My son got about 6 months of use of this blower before the top handle and the pull-cord both broke on the same day. While the machine is light and easy to use, I would not recommend it. It did not prove to be a very reliable piece of equipment. I wish I had kept the receipt longer as I would have taken it back.

Weedeater blower

A surprisingly good blower at a cheap price. No problems with it in first autumn of use. Power is satisfactory for homeowner applications, smaller yards. Using less than full power is often sufficient and actually makes a job easier, less scattering. It has to be held firmly when pulling the starter cord, and it is a little awkward in that respect. Light weight is a plus, this one is significantly lighter than the more expensive handheld blower I had 10 years ago.

DO NOT BUY THIS BLOWER

I made the mistake of buying two of these things. Both of them had problems with the starter cord not retracting. I would also recommend buying a blower with power.

A Little Disappointed

I've owned several Weed Eater products in the past and have had nothing but great experiences with them. This one disappointed me. I bought it for occasional use at work and thought that it would be worth the low price it cost. Easy to setup out of the box. Very lightweight as advertised. Cranked up after a few pulls. That's where it failed to perform. Not much air for 23cc's and rattled like it was going to fall apart in my hand. Consider it a loud expensive toy and give it to the kids.

OK for small jobs

This blower works for me in my small yard area. I wish I would have stepped up to the craftsman model for a little bit more.

Dont waste your time

You can use your Blow Dryer and it will work better than this. I bought it because it was lightweight but it couldn't blow anything so I took it back and bought item 07179474000 that was only a few more bucks and was almost as light and also has a vac. really don't waste your time with this.
