I can only give it 4 stars because the fuel tank is a bit small. Otherwise the blower is lighter than my last one. I like the chest strap to keep the blower in place.
Overall the backpack leaf blower is really good. The only issue I have is that from every “cold” start, I have to really feather the throttle and choke for 30 to 60 seconds to keep it running smoothly. After that short period of time, it performs great.
So to give my honest opinion on the gas backpack leaf blower: it’s actually better than I expected. It functioned as it should no leaks. After I put the oil and gas in it, pressed the prime button 10x, pulled the cord three times it cranked up on the third. I had to shut off to move my truck, it cranked on the first pull. I’m happy with my purchase. I may add that it did rain this morning and it stood up to the wet damp leaves.
Very good backpack blower. I like that this leaf blower is a 4-Cycle with lower emissions having quieter noise levels, but not sacrificing power. The leaf blower starts quickly and removes a large amount of leaves on my half acre site.
Plenty of power mechanics are good chest strap could use padding but runs smooth on ur back while running but you know your wearing 19lbs but I don't feel unbalanced so need a backpack blower consider this one in ur comparing
