Questions & Answers
There are no questions yet. Ask the first question.
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.
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.
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.
