Steer Clear-- Low quality product [Posted on 2007-04-18]
Cheap shouldn't necessarily mean low quality. If you're looking at this you probably want an inexpensive blower for a small yard, but don't want a power cord to lug around, and don't want to pay $300 for a backpack blower that is overkill. That's why I got this blower.
Unfortunately, this unit is low quality. I used mine for 18 months and it's dead, the pull cord has completely seized and the handle has always been loose/cheap feeling. There is no fix given on the Poulan/Weedeater website for the pull cord, so I will either need to: 1. Take it to a shop and pay more than it's worth to repair it. 2. Open it up, lose parts, and not be able to put it back together 3. Take it back to Lowes and see if they will replace it, which I doubt, or 4. Buy something new. All actions you shouldn't have to take after very moderate use- 10 minutes a week in the summer and longer during leaf season.
I think people will regret going low budget on this purchase.

I threw this blower in the trash after the second time I tried to use it. Don't waste your money.....
Works Great! [Posted on 2007-10-05]
Still works great...not so good on wet leaves but if they're bone dry it's great!
Pull Cord Seized After First Use [Posted on 2008-06-16]
Second time I tried to use this machine, the pull cord seized and would not retract. I had to disassemble the whole bottom unit, and rewind the metal wire, and reassemble the unit. The design in the inside is poor, I had to bend and fasten the metal wire in order for it to work properly. Pull start mechanism needs to be redesigned. I would expect this to happen to all of the units eventually.
Less than one star [Posted on 2008-08-09]
Although I was initially happy with this product, after a few weeks, the handle broke, first in front causing me to burn my hand to prevent a drop, then today, the back two holders broke...piece of poor craftsmanship.
