I hate leaf blowers. But I hate and aching back more and it was taking me hours to sweep my patios and stairs. I saw that this was a recommended leaf blower so I bought it on sale. It's great! Not too heavy and it has a nice shoulder strap. I can put it on minimum power so that I don't send everything flying into the next yard and it's not really noisy. I would highly recommend this.
This blower does an excellent job, it has a very strong air stream and the battery lasts very well. Both the tool and battery are significantly heavy but the system is well engineered to be well balanced and esy to use. I would definitely recommend use hearing protection while operating this tool.
