Description
Overview of the Portland 62337
- Power: The 62337 is an electric blower made by Portland. It has a maximum air speed of 230 MPH and its nozzle can expel a max air volume of 375 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
- Power delivery: As it is a corded model, the blower needs to be plugged in to a power source in order for the 12 Amp motor to operate. Please note that some manufacturers don’t include the cord with the unit. If this is the case, or if you’re looking to buy a backup, please use our gauge calculator to ensure you’re buying the right cord for your blower.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: Since accidental disconnection can be a real inconvenience, the 62337 features a reliable cord lock to prevent it from being unplugged during use.
- Handling: It’s handheld, so naturally it’s easier to handle and carry than larger leaf blowers, such as backpack models or walk-behinds. Be aware that, at 10 lbs, the Portland 62337 is on the heavier side of electric handheld blowers.
- Speed Settings: With 2 speed settings, this blower’s output can be set to meet the needs of jobs big or small.
- Vacuum: This unit isn’t just a blower—it has the added feature of being able to collect leaves and soft debris into a handy storage bag (bag included).
- Mulching: This mulcher’s 12:1 mulching ratio means it can reduce 12 bags of leaves and debris down to one bag of mulch. The unit uses a plastic impeller.
- Noise: As far as electric handheld blowers go, this one is average in terms of noise with a rating of 84 dB.

The Portland 62337's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the Portland 62337 compare with similar leaf blowers.
- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 230 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most electric handheld blowers. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the Craftsman CMEBL7000 and its 260 MPH could be an option to consider.
- It has a maximum air volume output of 375 CFM (cubic feet per minute). With this output rating, the 62337 is well within average in relation to similar electric handheld blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Bauer 58905, with 805 CFM, could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, the Portland 62337 is the cheapest of all blower vacs.

Questions & Answers
how can I purchase a replacement vacuum bag? I don't need a new blower, I just a replacement bag. Thanks (Asked May 5, 2021)
Unfortunately, it seems that Harbor Freight does not have replacement parts for this unit. Some users reported having luck with this third party replacement bag (opens in a new tab).
Couldn't find the right answer for you? Ask your own question.
I have had this leaf blower for several years and use it mostly as a vacuum/ mulcher. It has been perfect. However, the bag finally wore out and they don’t make a replacement that works with the model I have.
bought 2 portland leaf blowers and the nozzle was missing from each of them.. got a link for them and it was out of stock, sooo using without nozzle does not do as good as it should…..
after short minutes use – this vaccum mulch unit creates smokes at the electrical outlet prongs as it turn black as it burns– it is a safety hazard . -it does not vaccumm the leaves strongly . Until they fix this safety issue smoke issue -. don t buy this unit
I have a 5 year old blower that is used multiple times a week around my house.
Hurricane Ian flooded the river which we live on and turned my backyard in to an isolated lake. Fish were suffering from the low oxygen levels looking for relief anywhere they could. Many ending up in my newly formed backyard lake.
I attached two sections of 3/4 inch garden hose to the blower with duct tape and bubbled air into the water.
The blower ran nonstop for 96 plus hours until nature was able to take over and the oxygen level rose to acceptable levels. We lost no fish in our backyard lake.
A 5 old blower, running nonstop for and inordinate amount of time, used for a non conventional application renews my belief in craftsmanship and product quality.
Once this blower “gives up the ghost” I will invest in another Portland brand blower.
Just wanted to share my story.
And, Yes! It works great as a leaf blower too.
Very good! I had mine for 3 years now and it works great. I use the blower and mulcher every fall time as i get tons of leaves.
This is a good buy. I also got mine on sale at Harbor Freight for 49 dollars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Leaf vacuum and blower only lasted a little more than a year. I was very disappointed in the quality of this product and I’m sorry I ordered it.
This is my second one bought at harbor freight,only used a few times a year as I have a small yard. I used it to mulch leaves and both times after only using two or three times the motor blows up. 90 warranty is a laugh can’t find who makes this either. Do not buy
