Toro 51585 Power Sweep 7 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower

The Toro Power Sweep is the perfect blower for clearing leaves and debris from sidewalks, decks and driveways. This blower generates powerful air speed of 160 mph. It is very easy to use and is very lightweight - only 4.6 pounds. Covered by a 2-year full warranty.
Customer Review: Good blower, but could have been btter
The product came without a power cord. But it worked well. Felt like it could have had a higher rpm.
Customer Review: The Goldilocks of Leaf Blowers
I've had several electric leaf blowers. Most of them were fine for the yard and leaves, but if I wanted to quick sweep my garage/basement, they were so powerful that took all the dirty on the floor and just put into the air as dust, only to settle over everything. This is a small blower, 5 pounds, sounds like a hair dryer. But, on low speed it blows all of the leaves, dirt, dust, etc., out of my garage without raising a cloud of dust. On high, it makes easy work of the patio, porch, steps, drive and sidewalk. It also is good for scattered leaves and small branches from shrubbery. I would not tackle a yard full of hardwoods in the Autumn with this, I don't think the power is adequate. But to just grab this lightweight, efficient tool for weekly clean up after hedge trimming, cutting the yard, etc, it works fantastically. I recommend it.

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.

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.

This blower has a 4-cycle gas engine which means no oil and gas mix is needed. This model comes with a 2-year manufactures warranty.
Customer Review: Katies helper
I liked this item from the start. It came out of its shipping box needing minor assembly. After filing the sump with the supplied oil and regular gas in the tank,(no mix required as it is aa 4-cycle engine), I followed the 1-2-3 directions, then gave the starter rope 5 or 6 easy pulls and the machine was running for the first time. After allowing the engine to warm for a couple of minutes, I swung the unit up into the 'back-pack' position, easily by myself. The controls were comfortable to operate, so I proceeded to blow off my driveway. The amount of air flow was more than adequate for the job, with a lot lower noise level than others I have used. The one minor draw back that I encountered was that there is apparently some sort of governor on the engine that regulates the engine to a seemingly lower RPM than neccessary. The power allowed was more than adequate for my applications and did keep the noise to a minimum. (no high-pitched whine)Troy-Bilt 32cc 4-Cycle Gas Powered Backpack Blower with Padded Harness #TB4BP I am looking forward to several years of great service from this product
Customer Review: Very good value
Not having to mix oil with the gas makes it easier to operate. It has adequate air flow(150 MPH)to do the job with the 32cc engine and it costs about $175 less than the heavier more powerful other brand model with 180 MPH air flow and 55cc 2 cycle engine that I had in the past. The air tube comes in twist together sections that potentially could leak air. It starts easily and runs well. I recommend this blower.

Customer Review: Full size power in a small heavy unit
This portable vacuum cleaner has the power of the largest home vacuum cleaners. It is constructed of metal, which makes the unit heavy compared to the weak hand-held rechargable dust-busters, but the portablility of the sheer power has been very useful for us in vacuuming the interior of a car, over the glass top of a large custom fish tank, or for a focused spill of dry material. This is a highest quality, strongly and durably built, serious piece of machinery that hasn't compromised by joining the age of cheap plastic devices. You will have to pay for such quality. It is well worth it if you can afford it and if you need such a capability. Lastly, you will need an extension cord with this unit since the attached cord is less than one foot long.
Customer Review: Its pretty good...
Heres what I like: small compact and portable real strong vacuum for its size real strong blower for its size a lot of attachments if you use them Heres what I dont like: Cord is like 3" without a 3 prong extension you cant use it or even plug it into the wall... only 1 speed for vacuum only 1 speed for blower cleaning the vacuum dust catch is a little messy ....best done outside Overall 4 stars....at first I was bothered by the things I dont like about it but this vacuum has grown on me. I really like the powerful blower.

This Ultra blower vac offers air speeds up to 235 mph and air volume up to 255 cfm, allowing you to move a substantial volume of leaves and debris with ease.

Customer Review: Super Leaf Blower/Vacuum
The Toro #51599 Electric leaf blower/vacuum is perfect for for small jobs. It is not only light and easy to handle, but, very powerful for it's size. Our home is situated under pine trees which drop lots of needles onto the concrete drive. It works great for keeping the pine needles off the drive. L.Oertel
Customer Review: Good enough blower
Was sick of raking up the leaves twice every year from the live oaks in my front yard. Not only that, the trees shed leaves even in summer and in rain. I was looking for a leaf blower near $50. But, found this to be a good one due to the metallic impeller. The blower works OK for the most part. I only wish that when I pick up the leaves (from grass) it would pick up all of it. The bag is quite good. I wish I had purchased one without wires and with battery.

Troy-Bilt 31cc 2-Cycle Gas Powered Blower/Vacuum #TB320BV

The Troy Bilt 31cc gas blower / vac has a Spring Assisted starting system. It can generate up to 205 MPH and has a dual operating handle.
Customer Review: Do NOT buy this blower
Right after I purchased this product in the fall, it ran ok first couple of times. However, I used it once this spring , took awhile to start and then took several minutes of running to get up to full power. Since then the blower will not restart (even followed troy-bilt's convoluted instructions on side of blower), took it to local Troy-bilt Service, who claims I didn't have the mix right so will not be covered on warranty. I used a 40:1 mix and the same fuel worked fine in my Ryobi 2-cycle engines with no problems. Bottom line: Blower is too bulky, throttle lever gets in the way, engine is poor quality, waste of money.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware
I purchased my first TB320BV a couple years ago. After 9 months the motor basically burned up with black yuk coming out of the cylinder head. I didn't mis-treat it but I did expect the unit to be able to run 2-3 hours at a time during the Fall season. Anyway, I threw it away and purchased another one, yes, you read right. After less than a year this one burned up as well. The authorized repair shop said "not another one" and not to get my hopes up for a timely repair, he had 3 others in front of mine. I called "Troy Bilt customer service" who gave me the usual "what did I do wrong? Did I follow the manual?" etc. I asked them to call the authorized repair and help me get it repaired. They basically said "not my job mon." So it's still at the repair shop for over a year. If you want a 20 minute blower/vac this may work for you, as for me, Never Ever Again will MTD get my money.

Makita 24.5cc Commercial Duty 4-Stroke Gas Powered Blower #BHX2500

Powerful 24.5 cc. commercial duty engine. Quick start - low compression engine for easy starting. Large 17.7 oz. fuel tank for longer fun time. Lightweight (9.8 lbs.) for easy maneuverability.* Improved configuration for easier refueling and maintenance. Improved exhaust emissions are EPA Phase II compliant while maintaining power and performance.
Customer Review: Great but buzzy blower
Plenty of power for most jobs, starts 1st or 2nd pull, no long cord needed to clear 1000' drive through the woods as electric blower needed, and most of all, no 2-stroke smoke odor over clothing when done. Fairly quiet too (still use ear protectors though). Only shortcoming is the vibration. Acceptable, but the most I've ever seen on a blower, and need to switch hands more often than others. Weird gyroscopic action when turning it too, but more entertaining than a problem. Still my favorite blower though.
Customer Review: A Pleasure to Use
I've owned this blower for a couple of months now. I purchased it as a replacement for my old electric blower. It has plenty of power for my suburban needs. It's also quiet and runs on regular gas (no mixing gas and oil like a 2 stroke). All of these attributes are great, but the really great thing is that it starts reliably after 1 or 2 pulls just like my trusty Honda mower. Compared to the 2 strokes that I have dealt with the Robin 4 stroke in this blower is a real pleasure to work with. I would easily pay $50 extra to have the 4 stroke in this Makita. I wish their 4 stroke string trimmer was a bit cheaper. I would trade up and ditch my old Echo 2 stroke in a heartbeat if it were close to the price of this blower.

Blue Blower-Heater Unit For Blue Blower Works with BB 1000 and BB 3000 Quickly converts your Blue Blower into a lightweight, portable heater. Ideal for personal warmth and comfort and drying applications. 115V AC,
Customer Review: Sparkey
This unit works adequate for providing a small amount of warmth to a specefic area. It does not provide the intense heat of a rdiant heater; but when you are moving air as fast as the Blue Blower does, it would be difficult to heat the air more than moderately.
Customer Review: Good buy
Good buy for the price. Works well and the controls are easily accesable. Works good for assisting in drying joint compound, carpeting, thawing out pipes, etc.etc. The only downfall is the air flow from the fan it's mounted on is reduced.

Customer Review: good leaf blower
This blower does a good job blowing leaves. It does less well with the vacuum feature. If you try to vacuum leaves they tend to plug up in the intake. You can vacuum sawdust or particulate matter, but not nearly as well as a shop vac. It's a good leaf blower.

Customer Review: Blows great when it works
Like all Homelite/Ryobi power equipment, it works well for a while.

Stanley #655702 High Velocity Blower

Stanley High Velocity Blower Fan
Customer Review: This Thing Really Works
I took the fan to work and it blew out cool air (No A/C) just the summer heat. The speeds are great also the high speed made me tear up, co-workers also notice how great it worked. I plan on buying more.
Customer Review: So Great they keep getting Stolen!
I like these fans for their small footprint and large circulation volume. I have wall mounted gas heaters and putting one of these on the floor near the heater really helps to move the heat to more of the house. I have had 3 of them and all of them worked well till they were stolen. My only complaint with them is that after a couple of winters they were naturally a bit grimy from constant use and were difficult to clean. You will use the 2 outlets on the side, too, espcially if you have 2 of them.

Poulan Pro 25 cc Gas Blower/Vacuum #BVM200LE

When you're comparing gas blower/vacs, you'll want to make note of three things: air speed, air flow and the unit's weight. All three affect how much of a chore your yard cleanup will be.

On the first count, air speed, this Poulan rates very well, registering 205 mph; you'll find a lot of comparable blowers listed closer to 150 mph. Coupled with that is how much air the engine is actually moving, and of course, the more, the better. This one's rated at an impressive 400 cubic feet per minute, which, for a handheld blower like this, is a mighty lot of volume. Combined, these two details mean you've got great air power for blowing leaves, grass clippings, light debris and other yard waste.

This blower is no heavier than its competitors, but of course, once you flip the switch and start vacuuming leaves, you're carrying that weight with you, albeit with a shoulder strap. It does have a higher mulching ratio than others (16:1, turning 16 bags of leaves into one mulched bag) in its class, turning leaves and grass clippings into a nice, fine mulch for flower beds or just more compact bagged yard waste.

Starting is a bit of a chore; be prepared to pull. But that's par for the gas-powered course. Once it's going, though, it's a pleasure to use, and it beats raking and sweeping.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Review: If it breaks I'll buy another one
Reviews are an intangible thing. What works good for one guy, sometimes won't work for another. With that said I'll throw in my 2 cents. I bought one of these about 3 1/2 years ago. I live in SC on a acre of land surrounded by pine trees. I use this blower almost daily (winter and summer) to blow away the pine needles from the back deck and driveway; also after cutting the lawn. I could not be more happy with it. It always starts on the first or second pull. Not that it needed it, but I changed the spark plug, just to make me feel that I was taking care of it. If it ever fails I would buy another one.

The Airsled moved the refrigerator over the cardboard pad, across 1" pile carpeting, across the brand new flooring, and into the cabinet space made for the refrigerator in five minutes; a distance of 20'~! Fantastic.
