 Not bad December 1, 2008
We recently acquired an property with a lot of leafy trees and this is my first blower. When the shipment arrived, I thought that Amazon shipped the wrong item because it came in a tiny box. Snap the tube on, connect the cord and it's ready to use.
The power switch is somewhat touchy. When trying to select low speed, it is easy to accidentally bump it into high speed. I accidentally blasted away a bunch of bark and made a crater. Oops. During low speed use, it's also easy to accidentally bump the power switch to off.
The power receptacle is mounted on a short cable tail on the back end. I have several other lawn tools that have the receptacle integrated into the shell with a hook to retain the cord and I prefer that arrangement. When you reach the end of the extension cord, it disconnects easily and cuts power. There's also no strain relief so I think that eventually I will be repairing this short section of cord.
Although it looks and feels like a toy, it seems to work well on flat surfaces and bark, but struggles a little with leaves in wet grass. It just takes longer but still gets it done. I also used it to clear the gutters of leaves and it worked well. I removed the tube making it even smaller and lighter. There were a few times when the thrust nearly knocked me off the ladder.
Noise level is excellent, especially on low. Think giant hairdryer. It is much lighter, quieter and not smelly compared to the big gas blowers.
I was originally considering the Toro Ultra, but I was unsure how much vacuuming and mulching I would do and wanted something lighter, less expensive, and less cumbersome.
Lightweight and does the job November 29, 2008
The wife wanted something that was light and easy to handle and this fills the bill. She gives it two thumbs up. We both like the two speeds as well. Slower speed works great in the flower beds.
 Very handy November 19, 2008
Love the blower! I'm 66 years old, and found it very easy to handle, and it did a great job.

This is a great product for women...light weight and easy to use. I purchased it for leaves and it does the job very well...I really like the dual speed also. I use almost all electric outdoor equipment because the gas run things are just too heavy to handle. I will be using it to clean the walls in the garage as well as on the house and I am sure I will find other uses too.
Works great for me November 3, 2008

More power than I need. Just in time for all those maple leaves. Worth the money for sure.
