Zoom on the Portland 62337
The Portland 62337
The Portland 62337 is a corded electric handheld blower that is mostly aimed at homeowners with smaller home areas like patios, walkways, or compact front and back lawns under a quarter acre.
It is rated for a max air volume of 375 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and a max air speed of 230 MPH. For the user, it can shift leaves and debris efficiently on yard sections while providing enough speed for slightly heavier material.
With a 12-amp motor, this corded blower provides unlimited runtime, but mobility is restricted by the reach of the power connection. Be aware that the blower may not come with a power cord. If you need one, we recommend using our gauge calculator to ensure compatibility. It has a built-in cord lock to keep the blower connected and prevent interruptions during use.
The Portland 62337 boasts 2 speed settings, granting users control over airflow intensity for diverse tasks.
With a weight of 10 lbs, this handheld unit enables one-handed use in tighter areas.
Equipped with a vacuum function, the 62337 doubles as a leaf collector, depositing leaves into an attached bag (bag included). Building on its vacuum capability, this unit’s mulching ratio of 12:1 can shrink 12 bags of leaves down to a single bag of mulch as they are vacuumed. The unit uses a plastic impeller.

- Compared to its counterparts, the Portland 62337 ranks among the heavier corded blowers at 10 lbs. To enjoy the lowest possible weight in this category, you could have a look at the Sun Joe SBJ597E which is only 3.9 lbs.
- 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, the 62337's air volume output is typical for corded blowers. If air volume is important to you, the Worx Turbine WG521, with 800 CFM, could be in your good books.

Useless to me. Used it several times and the suction is hardly picking up leaves unless it is set right on top of them. Did not pick up Bottle Brush leaves or leaves down in crevices. Video shows an example of how it actually works in an area with lots of leaves. Would not buy again. https://youtube.com/shorts/Xmzuq8zf0tc?feature=share
Without the concentration nozzle attached it is useless for blowing leaves and acorns. Can’t find a universal rectangular concentration nozzle replacement. Made one by using 2′ pcp pipe cit to length and heated and shaped with a heat gun. Works better, still need to make another at proper length to improve operation. My DIY fix only took a few minutes.
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
