Metro Vacuum VNB-73B 1-Quart 4-Horsepower Blower Vacuum
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.

Poulan Pro 25 cc Gas Blower/Vacuum #BVM200LE
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.

This thing worked ok for maybe one season.It started to leak gas and oil and stopped running.Won't start now at all.JUNK Not very powerful either

Blue Blower 1907 - Heater Unit for Blue Blower - Blue Blower - 1907
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.

Black & Decker BV4000 Leaf Hog 12-AMP Electric Blower/Vacuum
Customer Review: faulty product
I too had sparks flying out after a few minutes of use. Afterwards it stopped working. Very disappointed because I have an older version of it and never had such problems. I returned it and went with the Toro model. No problems yet.
Customer Review: Black & Decker Blower/Vac
Great product. I have one already and bought this one for my brother for his birthday.

Husqvarna 125BT 25.4cc 2-Stroke Gas Powered 140 MPH Backpack Blower
Customer Review: Better not Need Parts
I bought this product at Lowe's at a discount with the actual blower tube missing. Since it is just a piece of plastic my thinking was how much can the tube be for a $200 blower since the whole motor and blower unit itself was intact. The price quoted by Husqvarna dealers was $130 - $150 +!!! Husqvarna Customer No Support was a waste of time. They just say (after a 4 day wait) that the dealer can charge whatever they want and I can only get the parts from the dealer. This may be a decent product - I don't really know since I have not gotten to use it. But keep in mind that if it breaks, even with a small problem, the price of parts alone will exceed what the blower is worth.

Q-See QS2350C Weatherproof Color CCD Camera Kit With Built-in Heat Circulating Blower
Customer Review: Missing Mounting Bracket/Hardware
For the vast majority of my purchases from Amazon they have been nothing short of sterling . . . .this purchase unfortunately was the exception - purchased this along with 6 other CCD security cameras along with two DVR . . . . . did not open this box until almost three weeks later as I was installing cameras one at a time . . . . guess what ?? No bracket or hardware !!! and the box was sealed . . . . . I know Q-see makes a good product . . . but quality control on ensuring what they state us in the box . . . is ACTUALLY in the box . . . . . contacted Amazon . . . . . more to follow . . . .as I see how Amazon handles the missing parts !!
Customer Review: Q-See QS2350C Camera With Blower
The camera does not have sufficient information to tell you why or how the circulating blower works. Although it gives great video (somewhat blurred) in daylight it also gives good video in color at night for a very good distance these attributes cannot be overcome by the large size and the fact that it requires the power source (110 outlet) where the camera is located. Power cannot be supplied over a dual wire cable similar to other Q-See cameras. Would not recommend due to size and power requirement.

Solo #471 52CC Back Pack Blower
Features Include:
This is the first and only gas powered backpack blower to meet Category I sound levels of the new "ANSI Standards"
ANSI Standard:
Customer Review: perpetual motion
i heard that a solo 470-01 green blower could run forever without gas. well it's a nice idea, the perpetual motion. sometimes i feel that the snail shape of the solo green blower is a dream, it is inclusive. the green plastic is so outrageous and high quality it is superior to even the fabled cifarelli. hot air you say...it makes air and lots of it. but it is sweet. the only problem i found is the hp can blow the muffler gasket, it's that strong. i wound mine out so far it popped, and hasn't been the same since. too much power and too much air. it is the porsche of blowers, the german answer to the garden autobahn. gets dirty inside the housing after using it for 100,000 hours. love garrido
Customer Review: Great Product!!!
This backpack blower is great for any size yard. We have over 60 oak trees and it has performed well with no issues. This has to be the easiest power tool to start. I've tried a few other backpack blowers and this one is better by far. It's not only powerful but has less noise and lasts between 2-1/2 and 3 hours on full blast with the gas/oil mix. If you are looking for a blower this is the one to get.

Toro 51585 Power Sweep 7 Amp 2-Speed Electric Blower
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.

Echo PB-251 Handheld Blower
Customer Review: GREAT ITEM !!!
After talking with a Home Depot associate about this item, I decided to start the search to buy one. I found the Echo blower on Amazon for $110.00 far below the $169.00 at Home Depot. It works great and is lightweight and easy to start. I also have a Echo trimmer which is equally as good. I would recommend the Echo line to anyone wanting a quality product. To top it off, the Echo's have a 5 year warranty. Can't beat that!
Customer Review: No more Craftsman Blower For Me
I have own over 5 blowers in the past, all Craftsman. After a couple years, it always breaks down and not worth fixing. When I bought this Echo Blower, I was amaze how quiet and powerful this blower is in my hand. It was a joy to use around my yard. I will be very interested to see how long this one last. Yes, it cost a little more, but the quality is there.

Weed Eater GA2010 Gutter Cleaning Blower Attachment
Customer Review: good product
Product does what is says. Only fits Weed Eater blower. Plastic is a bit flimsy but works.
Customer Review: It usually works
The device was a little difficult to put together and cumbersome to hold once finished. It works as advertised if the leaves are completely dry and works terribly if the leaves are at all wet.

Poulan Pro Blower Trimmer Attachment #PP3000B
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.
