I have found this leaf blower to be a very good lightweight product with good blowing power to move leaves that are 18 inches high. I use "Trufuel" that is made for 4 cycle engines bought in stores which has "No Ethanol" and a 92 Octane rating. I have used the blower for 2 weeks now on my yard leaves and it does a great job. I do not use the optional 2d tube extension because I find it easier to maneuver in tight areas without it attached. I believe this is a good value for the money and would recommend.
When I considered purchasing this I read some reviews that gave this price of gear a negative spin. I can speak for others, but this blower has been excellent. Easy to start. Runs as long as I want. Good blower force. I wanted a 4-cycle engine for all the reasons you don't want a 2-cycle engine. It has not disappointed. I utilized an electric blower before I purchased this gas-powered blower. It has made things so much easier. The only possible negative is it has a small gas tank. I have never run it out of gas, but if you had a extremely large area, it might run out of gas. Not sure I would want to fill it when it was hot. Tank to close to the hot components.
Just recently purchased to replace a corded leaf blower. I find this much easier to use than my corded blower. The ability to negotiate tight spaces without a cumbersome cord is great. The Senix BL4QL-L is excellent it weighs less than 10 lbs easy to start and has great power. Infact After mowing the lawn I find myself cleaning up most areas with the Blower on idle which is powerful enough to clean grass clippings and dirt and other debri away with occasional bursts at a higher velocity used. I have not used it to dry anything yet as it is still hot where I live and the sun and temperatures take care of that. I really like the fact that it is 4 cycle so no need to mix gas and 2 cycle oil anymore. Not only is that a convenience it saves a few bucks. Now that fall is here I'm sure it will have no problem blowing leaves.
I am very pleased with this blower. You don't have to mix oil and gas like most small engines. But you do have to put the oil in a separate tank. Which they provide. It's great not having a separate gas can that has a mix of oil and gas. It's about 9lbs and easy to use. Although it's loud but they all are. My husband has a bad elbow and he was able to use this for a good bit. I was a little hesitant on buying this because of the cheaper price. But I am glad I did!
