Title: Great leaf blower, for as long as it works.
Product review: With a few big trees on my property, the leaf blowing cleanup routine is a weekly chore at my place. I found this leaf blower for a reasonable price at Home Depot, and right out of the gates was very impressed- Easy to use, strong force on the blow, it got the property cleaned up in a flash. Loved it! However, fastforward to 3 years later- My 2nd Toro leaf blower just died this morning. Started smelling melting plastic, and then with a choked, coughing, wheeze it died. Cue billows of smoke coming out of the unit. I'd call my use of this product "average". Weekly cleanups of a 9000 sq.ft. property. And with the my 2nd unit, I didn't even use the vacuum function (seemed to put a lot more wear and tear on the unit). That said- I've burned out 2 of these in the last 3 years. So, so long as you're happy with maybe an 18 month lifespan of your purchase- Go right ahead! This thing did work really well until it died...
