Better Than Advertised,
May 2, 2009
By Mugrb
from SW Lower MI
"Got my blower yesterday. Was delivered quickly. Read the reviews that this blower doesn't handle wet leaves, mine does and better than the electric leaf blower I own. Tired for dragging many electric cords in order to get to all parts of the yard with the electric blower. This blower ran 0.75 hrs per tank of gas at full speed. Started very easily, ran very well. Also own a used recondition Featherlite FL20 string trimmer I acquired from an Uncle. It too runs just fine considering I have totalled over 75 hrs of service from it. So I figured I can't go wrong with this same brand blower too."

Little Blower that Can,
November 18, 2008
By Anonymous
from Indiana
"I've had this little blower for about ten years and it has rarely failed me. It does a nice job of moving a moderate amount of dry leaves. Don't think that it will handle large piles or wet leaves, it's not designed for that.
I have had problems with the starter cord sticking but a squirt or two of WD40 always loosened it up. Other problems I've had is the choke. To shut this unit down, you use the choke to kill the engine. Over the years the choke lever got weak and it eventually snapped off. I looked for parts but could not find any. Therefore I just ordered this unit and will use my old unit for parts."

Very light - Pretty good leaf brower,
August 11, 2008
By DIYLanscaper
from Islip, NY
"I bought this product when I decided to start doing my own lawn and get rid of my Lanscapers. I is a GOOD product who weight is very light. However the product is a little underpowered. It will move leafs and grass cutting but you have to be a couple of inches away from whatever your blowing. So it is great for clearing items from decks and walk ways. If you don't expect too much from this product it's great!"

"I purchased this piece of equipment for quick cleanup of my shop. I have finally tried this piece of equipment yesterday. The handle fell off, and the motor will not run at no choke. ???? I will be glad to hear from you as to what you would like to do. I have already discarded the shipping material.

excellent value,
January 16, 2008
By 35146
from Alabama
"This is a great little blower for the price. The only assembly was putting the nozzle
on the blower--no tools required.Put gas in and it fired on second pull. Does a good job on dry leaves and is VERY lightweight.
I would recommend for anyone needing a small blower for home use. It does not have the power of the larger blowers,but it does not have the price either. Great little blower. Very easy to use.
Thanks Northern. Excellent value!"

Reconditioned Weed Eater Blower,
November 1, 2007
By TEXASRANCHER
from TEXAS
"I was hesitant about purchasing a reconditioned product, especially something with a two cycle engine and at such a cheap price.. Most professionals will tell you that the troubles don't start until the second season ,after the winter storage. I'm happy to say that this is the most trouble free two cycle I have ever owned . It has performed like a high end blower and I highly recommend it. I will purchase from your remanufactured products again ."

georges' new blower,
October 15, 2007
By georgel
from Pompton Plains/Garfield, New Jersey
"Just a quick note to say I have been thoroughly satisfied with all tools bought at Northern Tool. As in the past, one pull starts after adding fuel are a regular, and as far as performance goes, they out do them selves in performance and especially longevity.
I found in the past that I more than get my moneys worth with reconditioned tools from Northern when available.
Will continue to purchase from Northern in the future. Employees are very efficient and display a good example of their professional way of doing business with the public.

"The blower was clean and well packed. The blowers most of the ones I bought started up easy but a few had to be adjusted. The power is fine but not great. Some needed minor tweeking to get best RPM. But overall not bad blowers."

"I like the Featherlite Weed Eater Blower because it is light and easy to handle.
I should have had one of these 20 years ago to blow the leaves and pine

run.
