Backpack Leaf Blower 52CC Gas Powered, 205 MPH 550 CFM Air Volume 2-Stroke Engine with Adjustable Tube for Lawn Care Leaf & Snow Removal Road Cleaning

So I just have a long drive and a little bit of a neighbor's parking lot that I keep clean due to the leaves from my tree. Other than that I really don't have much need for a blower. But I finally broke down and bought one, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase! Even though the directions included are very basic it's pretty simple to figure out how to put it together. I did see the previous person who complained about the hard to find bubble to prime it. So that was helpful, FYI if you don't see that review it's on the bottom of the carburetor and you have to pump it until you see the fuel move through. I used the fuel ratio of 25 to 1 as recommended and it started right up after only a few pulls. It has more than enough power for what I need it to do. I just used it for the first time so I'll come back and update if I run into any problems but as of now it looks like it's a pretty decent machine for a great price.

Put it together went out mixed up the fuel 24 to one like they claimed. Didn’t even prime it fired right up after two pulls, works great! So far no issues. I did do a little bit of a carburetor adjustment and oiled the air cleaner. Would like to get a little bit more RPM out of it, but I think the main jet is a little too small to do so. Sounds like a pit bike when it’s running.

This is a great blower at a great price (if you can overlook the terrible instructions) Pro's Good design/good looking Lots of blowing power Runs good Starts easily Light weight and comfortable to wear on your back Has a throttle lock to keep your hand from getting tired during long use Not too much assembly - put together in about 10 minutes Comes with a oil/fuel measuring and mixing container (must mix 2 cycle oil with gas at a 25/1 ratio) Cons Terrible instructions. They actually call it a "2 cycle hair dryer"! LOL Probably used Google translate or something like that for the manual. Throttle lock got stuck the 1st time I pushed it in. I had to dissassemble the hand throttle, realign the throttle lock cylinder, give it a squirt of WD-40, and reassemble (only took about 10 minutes). It worked fine after that. Primer bulb not easy to find. I would never have even known it was there if I had not read the manual. Fuel level difficult to see There were a couple of moulded plastic pieces that I never figured out what they were for. Not referenced in the manual. Summary: Overall, this is a great blower at a fantastic price($130 at the time of this review). If you can overlook the badly translated instructions, you will be pleased with this unit and it's value. The only thing I think I should expand upon is the fuel mixing because it was not very clear. There was a confusing insert that talked about multiple mixing ratios leaving you wondering which ration to use. The actual mixing ratio is 25/1. The included mixing container will help you to mix the correct fuel/oil ratio. To mix oil/fuel, take the 2 lids off the mixing container. There are 2 chambers in the mixing container with a small connecting tunnel at the top. Fill the smaller chamber to "10" with 2 cycle oil. Fill the larger chamber to "10" with gasoline. Put the lids back on. Tilt the mixing container so the oil drains into the gasoline chamber, and shake to mix. Pour the mixed oil/gas into your blowers fuel tank, and your ready to start. To start the engine, pump the primer bulb until you see fuel going through the clear fuel tubes (about 5 or 6 pumps). The primer bulb is on the bottom of the carburetor. It's location is not obvious-you will have to look for it. Pull the starter cord to start the engine. It usually starts in about 4-5 pulls. If it is cold, you may need to use the choke lever. Once started, you will need to turn off the choke right away as it will not run with the choke closed.

Wasn’t sure which one to order. Very happy I decided on this one don’t want to jinx myself, but it starts every time.

This blower is nowhere near the power advertised. Straps are made for a kid. After using the blower for roughly 15 minutes, it just bogs down and eventually dies. Obviously very cheap made but I was expecting this due to the price. Says no returns either, I wonder why? Good luck if you decide to give this blower a try.

Good blower. Shoulder straps are a bit small for a big guy. The pull start came apart after a few weeks of use and the seller will not respond, so that I can find a replacement.

Except for some strange instructions the blower was easy to get going fast out of the box it was mostly assembled. It started easy but would not run at maximum velocity without adjusting the carburetor high speed jet. I was very happy with it after it was going. It was delivered quickly and was packed well.

Definitely worth every penny. Plenty of power and easy to use also like weight.

For the price this is a good little blower. I have used it several times already and it has enough power to clear the snow. The harness that comes with it could be bigger and have a chest strap to make it easier to carry. Other then that it is good value for what I paid.
