I have actually put it to a true test, but after the easy assembly I did give it a test run. Started up very easily. Shoulder straps were easy enough to adjust and the blowing/air power seemed to be very strong and what you would expect from this type of blower. So far I’m very satisfied with the quality, results and purchase.
Works very well, low vibration, much quieter than a 2-cycle. Don't have to mix oil and gas. I have a lot of very big trees, which the blower handles the large amount of leaves. One is a very large sycamore tree with large leaves, no problem for the blower. Very pleased
Excellent Backpack leaf blower. First this is very easy to put together, follow the instructions. Second how to start this is in the pamphlet and it has a sticker on the engine housing. The first time I used this it started on the second pull. You need to make sure it's on the ground or similar so you can get a straight good pull. The power is unbelievable. I have an acre lot, cleared all the leaves in no time, even wet ones. The hand power grip is easy to give as much power as you like and you can lock it at any power level. The back pack is very comfortable and easy to adjust the straps. It doesn't feel heavy as you carry it. The unit is also quieter than most I've seen or used. I have no gas or air leaks. This unit is powerful and durable, very well made. I am 65, male and I have no trouble using this leaf blower. Highly Recommended.
The product arrives quickly. The back is lighter than I expected. The instructions are easy to follow. It came with the proper oil, I added gas, primed, two pulls and it was running. It is quieter than I expected. The unit has good power for moving leaves. Good value.
