" ... I also love the dial and that you can pick the speed to a certain extent low to high speed. ... "
" ... I love the variable speed. ... "
" ... This thing has plenty of power and good adjustments for speed. ... "
" ... The speed control is straight forward and stays at the speed you select. ... "
" ... Unbelievably low price for a product of this quality and performance! ... "

" ... Great for blowing off the deck, clearing the sidewalk and cleaning out the garage of leaves and debris that finds it's way in!! ... "
" ... Still, it blows a wide swath and cleans of patio and porch quicker. ... "
" ... It makes cleaning up debris so easy. ... I find myself walking around the house looking for things to clean up. ... "
" ... Which it was stronger and quieter but it makes cleaning up leaves a breeze. ... "
" ... It works amazing and quickly cleaned up the leaves and pine needles in my yard. ... "
" ... Enough power to move even wet leaves. ... "
" ... Worked great with gutter attachment to blow leaves out. ... "
" ... I wish it had a vacuum attachment since it creates so much flow that it could easily pick up lots of leaves. ... "

" ... That being said, I don't have an overly huge lawn, so an extension cord works just fine for me. ... The cord retainer is a nice feature. ... "
" ... If you can use a drop-cord and don't have a few acres to do, this is perfect. ... "
" ... The only draw back is with this blower is the cord but it’s a minor convenience when I know the blower works every time I turn it on. ... "
" ... I did invest in a 12/3 gauge good quality electrical cord. ... "
" ... The price is good and I bought a 100' 12/3 extension cord which got me full output almost to the edge of the yard. ... "
" ... With purchase of a 100 foot cord I can blow my entire back yard and front yard. ... "
" ... The cord clip is quite helpful in that it keeps the cord from getting pulled out of the plug. ... "
" ... I was skeptical after a few reviews saying the cord came off. ... "

" ... It makes it pretty lightweight when you're holding it at your side and sweeping from side to side. ... I was able to use it for 10-20 minutes and not experience any fatigue unless i was trying to lift it up. ... I don't need to "push" the blower down at an angle, thus causing forearm strain. ... "
" ... Your forearms will fell it. ... "
" ... I also like that it's much lighter, thus easier to handle (even overhead to blow the gutters), far less fatigue in your hand/arm. ... "
" ... One gas hand held, One gas carried on back and one electric. ... "
" ... I look forward to using it all fall! ... "
" ... It is light and easy to handle with good balance, which is nice for me and my reconstructed shoulder. ... Another plus is that my hands and arms didn't feel numb and tinglely after using it for extended periods of time like my old gas powered blower. ... "
" ... It does have some heft to it but it is very well balanced and not a problem to use one handed. ... "

" ... It has very strong leaf blowing power, and is well constructed. ... "
" ... Really not made for that so its ok maybe after some ceramic coating it would work better. ... "
" ... The performance is great and build quality is sturdy and doesn't feel cheap. ... "
" ... Use of a new cord is very much recommended as older cords have worn contacts which can lead to heating of metal and plastic parts as described in other reviews. ... "

" ... Make sure you have a long extension cord if you plan on working a yard over. ... "
" ... I have fair size yard, the cord is long enough. ... "
" ... I did end up connecting bunch of extension cords and some areas I could only use one but any 16 gauge 100-foot extension cord I'm assuming is adequate as I believe 16-gauge is rated up to 13-amps. ... "
