I’ve only used the blower a few times, but so far I really like it. It’s lightweight and easy to maneuver and, once you get the hang of how to aim it to make the leaves go where you want them to go, it’s just plain fun to use. It made such quick work of de-leafing the back deck and front porch, I was tempted to use it inside for a quick housecleaning (begone, dust bunnies!) however, good sense prevailed. I mulch the leaves with a mulching mower and the blower helped herd them into a manageable area. The long extension cord I used was a small hassle so I ordered one of those winder-things and we’ll see how that works. I will no longer dread Fall cleanup.

Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me. I was stupid enough to stick this into a closet until I needed to use it. I have a friend that usually blows my deck off for me. Now months after I received the blower I opened it. The factory plastic bag had already been torn open where the blower had been once removed. Upon looking over the blower casing I found damage in two places where the blower looks as if it has been dragged and the black paint was rubbed off in two narrow lines, one on each side. At the same time of purchase I did buy the correct extension cord to go with the machine. The blower’s ability on the low setting was almost useless. The setting on high did the job on my deck. High setting had an amazing amount of power in contrast to the low setting. The small lighter size is good, that is a real plus for me. I really should have opened the box and looked at the merchandise given my experience with receiving used merchandise from Amazon.

Amazon is always very good about taking care of the problem. This time I have waited too long to say anything since it is well over the 30 day period. Just remember returns go right back into stock and that includes bedding items from my experience.

I never hesitate to send anything back because I am ordering new merchandise not used. I’ll have to respect Amazon’s rules, only because after this long I wouldn’t have a case. Just be warned. Think if I had given this as a gift.

The first customer review spoke of 2 extension cords when there were none—as stated on the box. That fact should be made clear in the description and not as the first line of the first customer review.

The product came without a power cord. But it worked well. Felt like it could have had a higher rpm.

I used the blower three times and when I went to use it the fourth time it would not come on. It seems that the switch has failed. How do I go about returning it under the guarantee?
