    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.

    + PROS: Light, reliable, price.
    - CONS: Could be more powerful and have throttle, but then price would be higher.

    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.

    + PROS: Will keep garbage service in business
    - CONS: You've been "con"ed if you buy a Homelite product
