Summary: You get what you pay for...
Comment: And I didn't pay much, but that's no excuse for the workmanship in this product. After just 18 months on the job (and only using it weekly for the front walk and driveway), it ended up in the trash. The handle was never it's strong suit and finally broke free. But that was only the last straw. It's always been a little difficult to start and over the last few weeks has been running for a few minutes and dying. After restarting, it would run a minute or two and die. The fuel filter came loose in the fuel tank, but I couldn't replace without tearing apart the whole thing. Wasn't worth taking it in to get fixed. Rather went out and bought a new blower (different brand and not a 'cheapy').

Summary: Works again after self fix
Comment: This unit's pull cord was pulled out and didn't retract. It had been sittng in the office shed for awhile so I took it home and manage to get the rewind coil rewound and it started on second pull. Used it briefly to check operation. To fix the rewind coil you have to take the bottom black plastic cover off (t-25 trox) and it exposes the fan. The nut holding the fan must come off next to get to the recoil. Not easy - used pair of clamps and cheater bar on rachet to get it off. Now, taking it apart the recoil spring jumps out and it's a mess. After several attempts it was basically rewinding the spring onto the white pulley WITH the metal plate -feed it through the plate guide opening, and being carefull not to release, it put it back onto the black plastic cover inserting the hook into the receiver. Not easy - but can be done and you have to keep your eyes open to see the position of everything when you take it apart, otherwise your lost.
Definetly a poor design but it can be DIY if you're up to the task. I fumbled around and took 2 hours - Knowing how it's done probally 20 minutes.
I didn't buy this unit - I just was lucky fixing it. I prefer electric as there is no issues with fumes, noise and hot exhausts plus no starting problems - but where the extension cord can't reach this would suffice.

Summary: Big P.O.S.
Comment: This is the biggest P.O.S. that is made. For some reason this is my 4th one, cheap price I guess is why I keep getting them, but now I'm done, every single one I have had run's great until that one day which is about 4 month's when it sound's like someone is choking it and it take's a violent death.If you try to get it started again your arm will be dead for 2 day's from all the pulling, so I just throw it against a brick wall.........trust me don't buy this !!!

Summary: WeedEater = Junk
Comment: This lasted just long enough to fail outside of the warranty. When it does fail, you have to throw it out.
Used this, maybe, 40 times. The mechanic that tried to fix it laughed when he saw the problem: the bolts that hold the engine to the mount all broke! The materials used are so cheap that Weed Eater products can't be considered anything but disposable items.

Summary: Piece of Junk
Comment: I bought a Weed Eater Featherlite blower just like this at Lowe's. Lasted less than 2 years after moderate use. The handle attachment came loose. It was connected to the body of the blower by a very insubstantial rubber piece, so of course it failed. It was meant to fail, and to be sent to the landfill with the billions of other discarded pieces of junk that these cynical, greedy companies produce/import to foist off on us. I am old enough to remember when American companies took pride in the workmanship and durability of their products. Not any more. Now they take pride in how efficiently they can rip us off.

At only 7.5 pounds the Weed Eater 23 cc gas blower is powerful enough to do all the clean-up around the yard, while remaining featherlite and easy to handle. Great to use around the pool and to clean-up after mowing the grass, or use the powerful blower to push leaves to a yard tarp. The blower delivers and air speed of 150 mph as well as 300 cfm volume of air movement. Other features include a 2-speed control, low-emission 2-cycle engine, and a reduced vibration handle. This gas blower is backed by a 2-year warranty.
