About Remington
Remington was founded in 1921 by Arthur Mall in his home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The one-man operation focused on production of gas and electrically powered power tools. The company has further expanded throughout the US. However, it remains one of the smaller manufacturers to this day. Leaf blowers have been added to Remington’s portfolio in the 1990’s. Their selection is comprised predominantly of handheld blowers, many of which are cordless and function as leaf vacuums. Pricewise, Remington leaf blowers fall into the middle tier. Remington products are manufactured both in the US and Mexico.
Warranty Information
The Remington HERO™ RM430 is covered under a warranty for up to 2 years. This warranty may not cover all parts of the blower.

Bought the Remington blower as a spare for my blowing needs since I use it to blow everything like tractors and equipment after use I have a craftsman blower which side by side look exactly the same just colors are different I bought also since it fits in the 40:1 fuel mix which matches all my other 2 cycle power equipment I would advise it for light to moderate use for the suburban home owner the carb was hard to purge of air when first putting fuel in eventually it cleared and ran great with high idle I will maybe adjust the idle or not otherwise runs well and blows very good for what I use it for
