Title: Not as Good as I Had Hoped
Product review: This blower vacuum was not as I expected. The motor housing is pretty bulky and heavy compared to a lighter cordless blower (Black and Decker for example which I will likely buy eventually instead). Although I liked the dial feature to control the speed of the impellar with precision, I found the power of the blower too much for my needs in my average suburban backyard with leaves from three medium-large trees. The main reason I purchased this over a cordless blower was for the vacuum. I'm 5'7" and the vacuum attachment was a few inches too long so that I couldn't allow my shoulders to carry the bulk of the weight when using it. Moreover, it turned out that the time to blow and suck leaves from the patio was not much different from simply blowing and sweeping them up. Lastly, the fabric bag is cheaply made and seems prone to tearing, likely needing replacement or repair after a season of use.
