Customer Review: Troybilts 4 cycle gas blower
This blower proves the point that wind speed should never be the deciding factor in blower purchases. Though rated at 150 MPH it does a better job at moving leaves than the Husquavarna rated at 205 MPH. The CFM's are a better measure and this unit is rated a 400 CFM. The unit is considerably quieter than a 2 cycle unit. It isn't any heavier than the better 2 cycle units; and based on past usage of 4 cycle vs. 2 cycle small engines, it will probably last a lot longer. Finally, not haveing to mix gas for it is a blessing.

Poulan/Weed Eater Barracuda 2595 12A Electric Leaf Blower/Vacuum

What we're looking for in a weed eater is the perfect balance of power and weight; we want a machine with enough juice to get the job done, yet light enough to tote about without straining either elbow or patience. We gave the Barracuda weed eater top marks for performance. With its 12 amp motor and two air speeds (125 and 195 mph), you'll never want for power, and its three-in-one versatility means it not only mulches weeds with a vengeance (as befits a machine called Barracuda), but it's a leaf blower and vacuum, as well. You can mulch debris at a 16:1 ratio into compost-ready material and then collect it in the large vacuum bag that's included. You can also clean your gutters with the gutter attachment (not included). As for the weight department, the Barracuda is moderate; though they call it lightweight, you're not going to want to spend hours using it. On the other hand, it's a durable, well-designed, effective and robust tool.
Customer Review: Great Blower
I have a lot of area to blow off each week when I cut/edge (corner lot, public sidewalks on both sides, driveway, my sidewalks, patio), and had gone through two Black & Decker blowers in five years. I picked this one up simply because it wasn't B&D, and am a huge fan. I've had it for three years and it's still going strong. It's much more powerful (ie. blows more) than the B&D's. I even use it to blow out my garage from time to time and pre-dry the car when I wash it. The only fault I have with it is there isn't a latch to hook the cord onto so the weight of the handing cord can cause it to come unplugged. A minor inconvenience to not replace your blower every couple of years in my opinion.
Customer Review: Weed Eater Barracuda 2595 Blower/Vac
Nice upgrade with the rocker-type on/off switch (use to be a slider that never worked smoothly - especially as it aged). It is excellent in all respects except that the two-piece vac tube continually comes apart while you're working. The tube seems to be more flimsy than it used to be. Other than the tube I'd give it five stars. I've been buying Weed Eater products since 1974 and haven't been disappointed except by a few little details. Incidentally, Weed Eater corporate headquarters is almost impossible to contact.

Poulan Pro Blower Trimmer Attachment #PP3000B

The Poulan blower attachment for trimmers delivers up to 150 mph of air speed to power leaves and other cut material away from your trimmer. It can be attached to most attachment-capable gas trimmers, has a flare nozzle, and installs with a simple click. Poulan backs its blower attachment with a 2-year limited warranty.
Customer Review: Very Handy. Not as much power as other reviews
This is a very handy blower attachment and is far better than corded blower I previously used, due to flexibility. But the power I experienced is not consistent with that of other reviewers. Also, some spots require you to hold the blower at ackward angles to get maximum velocity. This would not be necessary with separate gas blower. In hindsight, I would not purchase again since cost is very near that of a stand-alone gas blower. There's a lot to be said for having an extended windshaft at the end of a blower. My B-D electric $35 previous blower had more power.
Customer Review: Poulan Pro Blower Attachment
Replaced a 10 plus year old electric weed eater blower with this attachment. Works great. No longer limited to the length of a cord.

Customer Review: had for three years
I've had this blower for 3 years now and rate this product 5 stars. Since I purchased my house and started buying lawn equipment this blower is the only thing that still remain from all the originals. The blower works and works well it's strong somewhat light and flexable. It can be a little loud but because of the power normal blower only take about 5 to 10 minutes anyway. Will blow leave, trimming anything you would expect from a blower. Normally I wouldn't advices any lawn equipment be electric but for a blower that light and strong I do this one.
Customer Review: good leaf blower
Good product, not as powerful as it boasts. But it's a good, relatively quiet leaf blower.

You provide your own extension cord, which must be polarized and suitable for outdoor use, and a built-in cord retainer helps secure the extension cord to the base.

Customer Review: Just what I wanted
Broke one just like it and never thought I could replace it. Found it on Amazon and had it in three days!
Customer Review: A lot of power for a little price
This was just as it was pictured. The first time I used it I was amazed at how much power it had for such a small compact unit. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in buying it. I have owned gas powered leaf blowers, electric leaf blowers and have always had a hard time with their bulkiness and weight. This lightweight leaf blower is impressive.

Troy-Bilt Mulchinator 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum #TB125QS

Mulchinator electric blower with a 12 amp engine. Blows up to 157MPH and includes a bag that holds 3/4 of a bushel. Quick Shift blower/vac design that comes with a shoulder strap.
Customer Review: Stay Away from this Model!
After reading the positive and negative reviews on this item, I reluctantly bought this model since it had the features I needed (blow & vac). First of all, the bag zipper split after a few uses. The new bag costs half of what the entire model cost!!! Then the motor smoked. The unit was still on warranty and I took it in for warranty work. The repairman stated that he has had the same problem with like-models and the manufacturer won't cover the repair. It cost me big bucks for something that should have been covered under warranty. The repairman stated I might have persurvered, but it would have taken time and cost more money. He didn't want to hassle with the manufacturer. My recommewndation: Buy another brand and save you grief.
Customer Review: DISAPPOINTING AT BEST
THE FIRST TROY BUILT BLOWER/VACUUM I BOUGHT HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE SWITCH THAT WOULD GIVE ME A MILD SHOCK WHEN TURNING THE UNIT ON. AFTER THE FOURTH OR FIFTH USE, THE UNIT BEGAN SMOKING. I HAD PURCHASED THE UNIT IN DECEMBER, AND IT WAS NOW MAY. I CONTACTED AMAZON AND WITHOUT ANY HASSEL THEY AGREED TO REPLACE IT. WHEN MY SECOND ONE ARRIVED, I OPEN THE BOX TO TEST THE MOTOR/SWITCH TO SEE IF I'D GET SHOCKED. THE SHOCK CAME WHEN AFTER 20 SECONDS, THE IMPELLER CAME LOOSE OR WAS BROKEN. I PUT THE MOTOR BACK IN THE BACK AND IMMEDIATELY RETURNED IT. AMAZON IS REFUNDING MY ORIGINAL PURCHASE. I'VE SINCE BOUGHT ANOTHER BRAND.Troy-Bilt Mulchinator 12 Amp Electric Blower/Vacuum #TB125QS
