“I am impressed this is a well-made well designed, allot quieter than I suspected it ever would be. No vibration to speak of…the harness distributes the weight well and evenly and is comfortable for long duration wear about a three hr. Run time on a tank of gas. I bought Husqvarna 2 cycle oil for air cooled Low smoke formula mixed with premium high octane fuel. I see no perceived smoke at all from the exhaust. Started up on the first pull. It does recommend that you change the plug twice a year, and I bought six spark plugs to have on hand so I won’t be tempted to put off recommending change times. As a person whose job is Quality Assurance I grade tough on many levels and would have no problem telling you of any problem but this product makes the grade. Money well spent and not a second of regret for this purchase.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

The downside is that it doesn’t seem to have the power that I would expect of a “Commercial Grade” blower. It works perfect for light/medium duty jobs, but if you have large piles of leaves to move you may need to get out the rake.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.
