Title: This blower sucks
Review: I had mine for 2 years - probably a total of 18 hours of operation - and the thing burnt itself to a crisp. The motor caught on fire last week, about 2 hours shy of finishing the fall yard clean-up. For the past ~ 8 hours of operation, the motor was getting louder & shaking more & more. Finally sparks and flames came out the side, signaling the end. I unplugged it and watched it smoke.Even when it was new it would jam up w/ mulched leaves every 5 - 10 minutes in vacuum mode, and when you switched it from suck to blow, it didn't have enough oomph to push a large pile of leaves.Although it was cheap (I think I paid $85 @ Lowes), I'm not going to buy another one. I'd rather spend a little more on something that will hopefully last longer, and won't leave a black scar on my sidewalk.
Is the review positive or negative?
