Description
Overview of the Portland 62337
- Power: The Portland 62337 is an electric blower with a maximum air volume rating of 375 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed of 230 MPH.
- Power delivery: This unit, featuring a 12 Amp motor, is a corded blower. It must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a reliable power source at all times during operation. 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: It has a cord lock mechanism, so there’s far less risk of having the cord come unplugged when the unit is in operation.
- Handling: For those who are looking for a portable and convenient leaf blower, this model is a strong candidate. It’s designed for easy handling and use, and its size means it’s easily carried and stored. However, for an electric handheld blower, the Portland 62337 is heavier than most, weighing 10 lbs.
- Speed Settings: Portland designed the 62337 with control and precision in mind. That’s why this model has 2 speed settings, meaning that its air output can be adjusted to suit the user’s needs.
- Vacuum: The 62337 is also what is known as a 'blower vac'. Those who don’t wish to blow leaves and debris away can switch to its vacuum setting and suck them into a collection bag (bag included).
- Mulching: With a mulching ratio of 12:1, this mulcher can shrink 12 bags of leaves down to one bag of mulch, helping you get rid of unwanted leaves and debris. The unit uses a plastic impeller.
- Noise: Its noise rating of 84 dB can be considered the standard for similar electric handheld blowers.

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.
- Upon exiting the nozzle, the air can reach speeds of up to 230 MPH, which is rather impressive for an electric handheld blower. 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.
- The 62337 is average in terms of air volume. It's rated at 375 CFM, which is common for 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, when compared to other blower vacs, the Portland 62337 is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget blower.

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
