Description
Overview of the Portland 62337
- Power: This electric leaf blower has a maximum air volume rating of 375 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and an air speed rating of 230 MPH.
- Power delivery: The 62337 operates as a corded blower, requiring its 12 Amp motor to be plugged into a power source for usage. Keep in mind that the power cord may not be part of the blower package. If you require one, or wish to have a spare, utilize our gauge calculator to find the appropriate cord.
- Cord Lock Mechanism: Corded power tools can sometimes inadvertently be unplugged during operation. The Portland 62337 prevents such accidents by featuring a cord lock mechanism.
- Handling: Ideal for those seeking a compact and portable leaf blower, this model provides ease of handling and use, making it a convenient choice for any task. 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: It features a vacuum allowing it to suck up leaf and debris once the sweeping job is complete (bag included).
- Mulching: With a mulching ratio of 12:1, this mulcher can reliably pulp 12 bags of waste (such as leaves and other debris) into 1 bag of mulch. The unit uses a plastic impeller.
- Noise: For electric handheld blowers, the 62337's 84 dB noise rating can be considered fairly typical.

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.
- It can push air from the nozzle at 230 MPH, which puts it ahead of its class in terms of air speed for 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.
- At 375 CFM (cubic feet per minute), its airflow output is modest compared to other electric handheld blowers. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBX1000, which boasts with 1000 CFM.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, 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 purchased this blower in Apr 2024, it had work fine during the summer, put it up after I had used it for blowing leaves and grass, and vacuumed. Got it out today to blow some leaves from the back patio and it is sparking inside the cover. I guess the brushes on the motor are worn out. Can it be fixed or would I be better off just throwing it away.
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
