Only 2 problems I found was the shoulder strap is to short and the off on switch works a little hard other than that it is a working machine very pleased actually though I bought for the mulching not the blower The blower is too short too far away from the ground
I like the easy switch from blower to mulch/vac, and the single latch in the center to clear debris when using as a vac is handy. Unit is a bit heavy, so not suitable for long use, but it will work fine for my application. Really like the variable speed control, blowing tons of live oak leaves off of cypress mulch beds allows almost all the mulch to stay put without playing with the throttle all the time.
HEAVIER THAN LAST 3 MODELS PURCHASED. HAD TO INSTALL SHOULDER STRAP. NOT TRIED MULCHER .YET. SIMPLE SWITCH OVER TO MULCHER BOUGHT BECAUSE OF METAL IMPELLER. OTHER UNITS COMPATIBLE BUT CHEAPER.
A decent machine although slightly underpowered for its rating. A earlier machine had more suction and higher blowing power although rated for the same power/volume. Still, it does the job
I would recommend this to a friend!

got the wg509 2 days ago. A little heavy. I'm tall and a 6" extension would be great. I have to lean over to use it. Strap on bag is not quite long enough.
