I had this exact model for four years and then the motor bushing began to fail. I lived with the grinding noise until Spring 2013 when smoke began to pour out of the motor housing. I took the smoke to be a bad oman!
I unpacked the replacement and started in on the acres of leaves that were left over from fall when I heard a familiar noise. The rough grinding noise in the motor tells me this one will be going back soon.
Pros: high velocity blower
Cons: qc issues
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use mine every fall. Have never had a problem. Lots of .power. Sturdy collection bag, Shreds leaves, which increases capacity. Easy to handle. I'm 82 years old. Couldn't be without it at leaf cleanup time.
Great for blowing light snow from car ,sidewalk and driveway in winter. Use in summer to blow grass from walks and drive way.
With help I blow out my gutters that accumulate leaves I vacuum off brick patio and blow leaves and derbis from garage floor. Just can't say enough about this product.
Pros: excellant machine
I would recommend this to a friend!
