About Homelite

Homelite Corp. was founded back in 1921 as the Home Electric Lighting Company, and produced almost exclusively portable generators, which aided both civilians and the troops. Postwar, the company expanded with the invention of the first modern chainsaw, of which they were and quite possibly still are the largest manufacturers. However, Homelite manufactures other power tools as well, including leaf blowers. The company is nowadays a subsidiary of Techtronic, under which it has shifted its portfolio to include almost exclusively lawn equipment. Homelite products are reported to be manufactured mainly in China.

Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
First off: No finger trigger for throttle control! Awkward unless your left-handed…! After only using it 4 times, the starter pull cord would not retract back into the housing. HOMELITE WOULD NOT HONOR WARRANTY! Part “B” of their warranty documentation does not list “springs: or “pull cord spring” as excluded under warranty. It is obviously a defect in manufacturer workmanship and they won’t stand behind it!! Given a quote of $90.00 to repair! HOW LUDICROUS!!!
I only paid $86.00 for it brand new! They prominently and largely display their 2 Year Warranty, but don’t believe it!! Mine failed within 60 days!!! Only used it 4 times!!!!!!! ITS CHEAP JUNK and they know it!!
Paid $86.00 plus $20.00 for “warranty evaluation” and had to drive 40 miles to an authorized service center… It cost me $120.00 to just throw it in the garbage!!!!
Spend a few more dollars and buy an Echo or a Ryobi or just get a rake! Anything but a Homelite product!!!! I won’t ever buy another Homelite product and I recommend you don’t either.
It looks good.
Not too heavy.
When and if you can get it started – It’s not a bad little blower
However, after using it only twice – The third time I wanted to use it – For the life of me .. I couldn’t get it to start.
I was, and still am, soooo frustrated and disappointed!
I plan on buying an electric blower – I rather drag around a cord, than deal with the frustration of a blower not starting when you need it to.
Ive had mine for a decade, problem free. I suspect mine is better because its older and maybe had a different manufacturing specs. Cant say a bad thing about it.
