I purchased this blower to replace a gas powered blower I'm been previously using the past 2 seasons. I have 3 large maple trees in my back yard and the leaves from neighbors trees blow all over the front yard making quite a job to keep up the appearances in the neighborhood. You homeowners know what I mean. You don't went to be the last person keeping their property looking unkept. The blower assembled easily, a simple insertion and a "click" guaranteed the nozzle was fully connected. Plug into a power cord - make sure the cord you use is rated for outdoor use - 15 amps. I made sure I had a cord 100 feet long to reach the farthest point on my property. Make sure the direction switch is in the position to blow leaves away rather than draw leaves into the nozzle. Slide the power switch forward and walk or stand pointing the nozzle in the direction you are blowing the leaves. The blower requires a constant level hold the entire time you're using it. I have to switch arms because it becomes heavy on my shoulders down to my arms and wrist. I have been working on my properties for over 35 years and believe me, you get tired very easy. This blower has wonderful features such as a variable speed controller over delicate surfaces to maximum speed to clear areas quickly. The unique design on the front of the nozzle allows me to clear leaves from under foundation bushes and shrubs without all the bending down and awkward body positions. I switched the controller to vacuum and connected the bag attachment. Nice feature on the clamping mechanism guaranteeing a positive hold to the intake shaft. Make sure the bag is zippered up fully before commencing. The strap attached to the bag is, in my opinion, suitable for persons who have square shoulders. I have rounded shoulders, therefore the strap falls off and drags on the ground. The weight of the mulched up leaves along with the weight of the blower compounds the problems moving around in the yard and really tires me out. After all was done for about 45 minutes, I was pleased how fine the leaves were mulched, easily disconnected from the blower and poured the mulch onto of my flower beds. The blower stores easily and ready for my next use. Be mindful of your physical capabilities before choosing this model.

Bought a few weeks ago, used right away. The blower and mulching part did good but, I thought the vacuum part could use improvement. Small leafs ant bad but, the bigger ones seam to get jammed on end or inside tube. Other than that, love it. I have an extreme amount of leafs that get in my yard. Bought the collection hose for use with big trash can, got up over 30- 32gal. can full of mulched leaves in a week.

Bought this unit about a month ago . I have a large yard with trees all around my property. I bought this unit because of the metal impelled. This unit works very well. The bag is a decent size also. The amount of bags I use dropped dramatically. Being tall the strap holding the bag could be a little longer but I've made adjustments to the bag for my own needs. Delivery of the unit was exceptionally fast too. Good job ........

It is heavier than they make it seem in the infomercial. It sucks up the leaves very well but does it very slowly. It also doesn't mulch as well as they show in the infomercial. It does work well for corners around your house and under the deck. If you have a large lawn or a ton of trees you might need something stronger. Electric cord is also kind of a pain.

At first I thought the little cord hanging in the back was A pull-out (BUMMER) you have to go out and purchased a 20ft extension cord depending on the size of your yard (not good)
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works great & does the job nicely. Does need a shoulder pad like on a guitar strap. Full bag of leaves eventually does feel heavy. Cleared off the patio in a half hour, driveway in another 45 min. Speed control is really a cool idea.

I purchase the blower mulcher about a month ago and used it over the Thanksgiving weekend. It does a great job in blowing the leaves and mulching leaves. Is best suited for a smaller yard as it is somewhat time consuming to vacuum up the leaves. The metal fan blades are a plus what picks up the twigs and acorns from the ground.

It's light weight and easy to handle. Really gets the job done. Only problem I had was with the shoulder strap falling down a bit when using it.
