Easy to use. Very powerful. You can even “round up” leaves with the engine idling
Great, very powerful, had it for about a year no issues.
It is a little thirsty but worth in for the added powe
I’m the grounds member at my golf club, this excellent piece of equipment is used on a daily basis to keep the greens clear of debris. A minor aggravation is the pistol grip moves left to right when in use, this was rectified locally. Excellent value for money highly recommended.
Only used it the once, so far, and it blew me away! Sturdy and does the job. Much more powerful that others in this price bracket.
I purchased this blower a few weeks ago and have used it most days since. I have left it a while before I post a review to get a good feel for it and its reliability. So a few weeks in using it I am pleased to say I am delighted with it. It’s not too heavy for prolonged use, its comfortable to wear and simply does what it is supposed to do. Make sure that you use the correct level of oil with the petrol mix, otherwise it will not perform as it should and you will potentially damage it. I read the reviews before I purchased it and some of them were not very encouraging. In my experience some of these reviews may have been down to user error setting it up or with petrol mix not being what is should be. I can only review my findings and as said I am delighted with it. Make sure when starting that you pump the primer at least 10 times and open the throttle a little and keep the choke up. It usually starts within 5 pulls of the cord. Hope this helps you make an informed decision.
Its a big blower, not too heavy though especially on your back. Powerful enough to even blow a small mound of wet leaves so that was welcomed.
Assembly is pretty straight forward although it did take me a few tries to get the tube right. Once the instructions are followed it started 2nd time.
Overall good stirdy product, lasts long enough to do big jobs and easy to use.
I’m from an agricultural background and this thing is amazing. Assembled in 10 minutes with relative ease and such a treat to throw on your back and use. A few reviews mentioned it was difficult to start but I have had no such problem. Fantastic company with a great design concept.
This was by far the most powerful Leaf Blower I have purchased and so easy to use – when you have got it started which does take some strength! I would always trust this brand and they have never let me down. A****
The style of the backpack is good and comfortable a little heavy but then expected, it’s surprisingly powerful, good controls, starts ok however the pull cord is close to a plastic cover watch you don’t catch your fingers (as I did ) plus it could do with a foot support to hold the machine when starting as not easy to hold machine and start at the same time … the blow pipes link together well however good luck getting the locking screws in (several attempts and still unable)
I used to have a 3.2kw electric blower – it was rubbish! This is a beast by comparison. The air output is huge – powerful enough to lift leaves wet (and stuck to the tarmac) or dry. We have a good sized plot and a fair few trees which always seem to be shedding something. With this on you back, it makes light(er) work of it. It’s obviously quite noisy but for me, with earplugs, this is a great piece of kit. no issues with starting it at all – follow the instructions and starts every time (so far). No hesitation in recommending.
Great product, although I do wish companies would invent a small electric start, that’s my only gripe but then I knew what I was buying. It’s somewhat easy to start, a bit of getting use too, but in a day and age where we are use to instant click and go, so should the garden accessories… Anyway, it’s powerful, now only cleared my garden and driveway in record time, I even blow the lane to my house… so cyclists are happy !
Fabulous blower! We have a shingle driveway surrounded by trees which has been really hard work clearing the leaves but i’m delighted to say this blower made really easy work of it. My 13year old son can easily do it its so easy to use. Highly recommended.
Very easy to use and very comfortable to wear the quick release is a very good idea just incase of emergency. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow would recommend to anyone using for business or domestic use.
Seriously good piece of kit. Very very powerful blower. Cleared almost an acre of wet leaves in no time. Nothing negative to say about this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality blower at the right price.
A solid blower which will meet most needs in the garden. Not the best strap comfort but frankly not unlike others. The strap needs a cross chest clip to stop it sliding from the shoulders. Please put one on and send me the upgrade. : -)
Amazing piece of equipment, starts very easily and is very powerful. Blows all the debris left by strimming and grass cutting to make a great finish on your garden. Was very impressed with it and would recommend to anyone looking for a good reliable blower.
Relative easy to start straight out of the box.
– Need to get used to the power it provides and how to get the leaves into a small area that I can do a final rake before picking up.
– Better with larger and dry leaves than wet.
– As a backpack it is comfortable given the weight.
– Only used it once will update after more use.
Leaving on one side Amazon’s black Friday pricing strategy which a week later sees a price drop of 40 odd this is a first class piece of kit. It’s comfortable and powerful. Even the idle setting is quite effective at blowing dry leaves and the full throttle setting would probably unblock your drains (don’t try this). So apart from the pricing fiasco very pleased.
This is a great blower. I’ve used a few and if like me you have a lot to blow this is what you need. It will blow the prickles off a hedgehog. It’s quite heavy but that’s unavoidable if you want the power. Will blow wet leaves, grass, twigs. It’s powerful enough to blow grass back from the edge of paths. Easy to start and control. I have a 2 acre plot and it’s just the job. The only reason for the missing star is that I’m surprised how quick it gets through the fuel. Ok for domestic use but if you were using it all day you’ll burn a lot of 2 stroke.
Leafblower arrived this morning great machine, very powerfull and quite as well as outweighing my old one hands down ,starts with no effort and looks the part as I am left handed it took a little time to adjust as it is made for a right handed person also its weight is just right I used it for 1 hour today. First class can’t wait to use it again (will update in a few months)
Good Powerful blower people call McCulloch machines over I don’t know why I’ve been using them for years with no problems I’ve got a chainsaw I bought in 1981and it’s still going strong today buy it you won’t be disappointed by the way the chainsaw I bought in1981 was the McCulloch power mac320.
Nice machine and I agree with the lady posting, who pointed out that whilst the handbook shows a person starting with left hand on the strap ‘handle’ on top actually that does not work. I too was forced to use my hand on the housing. I also agree with all her comments save about the choke but then I have some experience with machinery.
On the con side in operating terms; if you are left handed like myself the machine is designed with a right handed person in mind and I found it awkward to use, however, with practise it may prove easier. The weight of the machine also came as a bit of a surprise. It must be double the weight of my old McCulloch petrol blower. It is certainly the most powerful leaf blower I have operated and would be very easy to use if I were right handed. I have dropped a star because I think there are feasible ways of making it left or right hand operated although it would cost more and be more complicated no question.
Well I have now been using it for 8 months. It runs beautifully. Does the work in less time, but in truth I still miss my old petrol hand McCulloch, so easy to swop that machine from left to right hand as needed to get into awkward places.
Brought for my husband to clear up the leaves… Recieved a few days ealier than advised. Good quality materials, Instructions could be clearer on how to adjust Choke but manged to work it out. It says hold with one hand to start but the machine is not stable , by putting my hand on the plastic housing it kept the machine more stable when pulling the starter cord. After tighening the shoulder straps it is very comfortable on the back. Very powerful blower it moves the wettest leaves and grass which is ideal. Have only completed and intrim clean as we have a huge garden and will complete once all the leaves have fallen.
