I would have return the blower; however, my wife loves it because of its light weight. It is not a serious blower, I call it her duster. It is handy for blowing loose leaves and dust off the deck and out of the garage and loose sawdust out of my workshop. Do not expect it to blow leaves together in the yard. I have just order the 56V blower; because, for my use the small blower is not adequate.
I have only used it once so far but really like it. It is cordless, lightweight & powerful enough to move leaves & grass. Can't wait till next year when I know I will use it more frequently. Want to try it on light snows this winter.
I bought this a month ago thinking that it probably had a reverse switch for deflating and vacuuming and was very disappointed when it didn't. I will keep it for blowing because it is light weight and runs on battery. I intended to order more for Christmas gifts but decided against in because product will not vacuum.
If all you need is lightweight leaf removal then this is your tool but if you have heavier/wet yard debris or pine needles then this will be a disappointment. Battery life did not seem to last as long as I would have thought it would.
Have had it for a week and used it quite a bit. Powerful, light weight, strong air flow. My only negative is that two batteries should have been provided. Could not finish what I was doing due to battery.
