Not too bad for a small blower. Wish the exhaust port was adjustable up and down. Would work better for me if it was closer to the ground. I have a lot of pine needles and I was hoping this would work as good as my back pack blower. Works great on dry leafs.

The reviews were mixed on this blower, cut most bad reviews were given from lack of knowledge. One complaint was that the throttle would creep back to slow as the person used it! The throttle is a rachet style and has a tension screw that allows one to tighten the throttle up. It is on the side of the throttle. several others claimed that it was a little on the weak side. I blew a half acre in 20 minutes that had very heavy leaves on the ground. I did adjust the cables for the throttle and the deflector before use. The throttle was set to only allow 3/4 throttle and the deflector control was also out of adjustment and would not allow for the air to deflect down very far. People who state that it is underpowered should look at these things. I am also going to fab a nozzle that will allow the airstream to concentrate better giving a higher mph wind speed which should help with things like wet leaves. Over all, for $350.00 this is a bad little blower!

The box and contents were soaked with oil. And you have hold the throttle on high manually or else it slides back to low

Easy to assemble, started right up.
