Costumer Reviews

I have employed this item twice now given that getting it a couple of weeks ago and thus what follows are my initially impressions:-

Pros:

a)It has the feel of a quality item and appears well built.

b)It is quite hassle-free to assemble (though as mentioned by other reviewers take care to get the tubes the ideal way round or otherwise you will be in a bit of a pickle!)

c)Amazingly quiet when running.

d)The bag also feels substantial and is very easy to empty.

e)Produces an superb fine mulch - considerably improved than I expected.

f)Getting a budget machine you have to transform tubes from suction to blowing. Ryobi have then again created this a effortless process.

g)Easy to shop - 1 tube slips into the other and can then stand in a corner of your garage or shed.

Cons:

a)Despite claims that this machine has unique technologies to assure an simple and easy start out, beware that this is a pure sales gimmick. I identified this to be one of the hardest two stoke engines I have ever had to begin. Hopefully it will turn into easier as it runs in - time will tell!

b)Even though reasonably capable for domestic use, it is not as strong as a single might have believed from reading the manufacturer's description. Consequently do not expect the efficiency of the machines you see commercial gardeners and local authorities utilizing. These do following all cost about three or 4 occasions the price of this one particular and the old adage "you get what you spend for" unquestionably rings accurate here.

c)Even though reasonably simple to use it can develop into really tiring just after a though when using as a blower. If you use your appropriate hand, as proposed in the directions, the air intake is located subsequent to your body. This implies your clothes are sucked in towards the machine and block the access grill with the result the engine loses power. You for this reason have to recall to keep the machine away from your body at all occasions - a slightly unnatural position that areas an extra strain on your appropriate arm.

Conclusion:

So far I am extremely pleased with the efficiency of this machine. However only time will tell if it is as durable as hoped and regardless of whether or not ease of starting will boost. I would be reluctant to advise at normal retail cost (around £150) as there are other machines within this value range that appear to be better worth. Even so it makes a really fantastic obtain at the present discounted cost becoming offered in Amazon's Industry Place.

This thing is an absolute beast of a blower and a great vacuum too. Began 2nd pull soon after assembly out of the box and it runs a lot quieter than I expected for a 2 stroke engine. Located it a bit heavy following ten mins of continuous use but my strimmer shoulder strap soon sorted that out.

Coming from a significant electric blower /vac it is a lot even more convenient. No even more extension cables. BUT. One factor I in no way realised is that you have to do a fair bit of assembly and add a separate tube to the side every time you modify from blower to vac mode. No significant deal actually, only two screws, but something to be aware of.

All in all incredibly pleased ( even extra so following saving 35% on the price against anyplace else)

Oh and yes. As the earlier reviewer noted. Make confident that you place the to begin with element of the blower tube onto the machine Prior to you assemble the 2 tubes together. It only goes on one particular way and you can end up with the second tube upside down if you happen to be not cautious (the blower now has an upturned end that's not catered for in the instruction manual)
