I used it maybe for 20 min. and it stopped working, tried the battery from B&D on saw it worked, went back to your Adp. and it did not work and nothing that I have tried can get it to work...piece of crap. DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.
I'm used to using commercial Stihl blowers. Recently had one stolen so I needed a blower and not spend several hundreds of $$. So I bought this one. I have run 2 tanks of gas through this blower and this is what I have to say this far. It starts right up, and after a short warm up it runs strong. The engine occasionally, misses a beat. My guess is the spark plug. Seems to made from a lower quality plastics. The are straps and back padding although is there.. it gives you very little comfort. The power of the blower is fairly decent. I blew some wet debris and it did well. It won't blow big piles but does decent with wet and smaller areas. I'm jus bought this blower to get some work done until I can replace a Stihl that was stolen from me. And it seems..to be getting the job done. Over all, not a bad purchase for the money.
Got this for a temp to replace an older one that was being repaired and this one ended up being more powerful and is super light! Comes with lots of attachments and goodies, great value for the money!
I have had this leaf blower for over two months. There are 10 large silver maple trees in my backyard. So there are large amounts of leaves. This blower was powerful enough to take care of the leaves. One full tank of gas will run for ~30min-40min. It starts easily. The weight is medium. It's a bit louder than a Stihl. The manual recommends 25:1 oil ratio. At 25:1 gas-oil ratio, the machine runs smoothly. I haven't tested it for the use to blow snow in winter but I will not doubt it. Overall it's a great, strong leaf blower for the money.
Works well, charges everything
