Bought this Craftsman Professional 28cc 2 Cycle Gas Blower on July 13, 2009. After reading online reviews of about a dozen blowers, I decided to buy this one. So far I have not been disappointed. It starts easily and has plenty of power to do everything I need it to. Fairly quiet for a 2 cycle blower. Looks like it is a Husqvarna re-label for Sears, but has a better warranty than the Husky label. I would not hesitate to recommend this blower. Bought it online for instore pickup....very smooth transaction, plus got extra discount due to online promo.
