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: nice leaf blower
Fast shipping. This leaf blower works great and has a lot of power. I am very pleased with this product. 5 *****
Customer Review: Good for what is intended
So far so good on this blower. Bought at a time when there were no reviews at all, I have now had it for about 1 month. I have used it a couple times on a weekly basis for blowing the lawnmower and carport off. The blower works as advertised and has a lot of power with both speeds. The vacuum/mulcher works fine, but haven't used it that much. The blower is very light weight which is nice. The only thing that I see as a drawback that I don't like (but haven't had an issue with) is that the plug for the blower is on the front casing instead of the back of the casing, so basically the cord has to wrap around the front of the blower to function. All in all, a great blower at an absolute GREAT price.

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

Customer Review: Good Blower
Good blower/vac for the price...a little annoying to assemble and I ended up glueing the blower tube sections together with epoxy, but I really enjoy using it. Well balanced and fairly powerful.
Customer Review: A bit Heavy!
This unit works great. It works well even with wet leaves and also is good at removing leaves from amoung the shurbs. As an older peson my only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and I can't use it long. Otherwise it works better than I had expected. The output is so fine I just leave it on the grass as mulch. Good product. Jean Carpenter
